A few small flat sided, coffin billed, baits based loosely on the Tennessee Tuffy. Paulownia wood, .40 oz without trebles, epoxy undercoat, acrylic paint, MCU topcoat. I fish the "generic shad" patterned baits on the bottom in a local clear water lake so don't want them to have a lot of color contrast.1 point -
Interesting stuff. I wonder if four 45 second or six 30 second cures, etc. would make it even smoother? If this all works out I can see making a UV curing box with a timer to control the on/off cycles.1 point

The problem with the pouring of resins is that the density of the final result is quite a bit heavier than your original wood bait. This will inevitably affect the action and the amount of ballast. You may get lucky and preserve the swimming action. Some of the commercial pouring resins already have micro-balloons or microspheres already mixed in or you can mix the plain resin with micro-balloons to control the density to your own specification. But, the more MB’s you add, the thicker the mix becomes. I had some success pouring the thicker mixes using a cake icing syringe. It takes a little practice to clean up after each pour, but the syringe can be used over and over hundreds of times. I bought two syringes and never opened the second. If you choose to try the syringe, let me know and I will write a detailed procedure of what I learned and save you some grief. Dave1 point

This has a nice color shift because of the gold pearls. About 6 inches long, the Flatshad is a bait I've been making for a number of years and it is a body style the muskies seem to favor.1 point
