I really dont feel like it matters much. A bass doesnt care which way a crawfish is swimming. Its a meal. I have caught fish on unpainted wooden cranks in testing also to suggest color doesnt even matter as much as action in many occasions. Crankbaits to me are about drawing a predatory response.

I’ve started brushing on multiple thin coats. I was dipping 1 heavy coats and no mater what i did, i would get unevenness. It takes alittle more time because you are pulling out, brushing, pulling out brushing. Added benefit is i have a bunch of glitter colors mixed up in little cups i got from hobby lobby. I will put a glitter coat on first. Then subsequent coats will be clear. I do this with wire baits and hardbaits. Jigs have held up ok, especially the ones i powder coat instead of airbrush

Google "safety wire twister pliers manual" I also use them to wire tie the skirts on. The auto return has a spring that makes them harder to use on 20-22 gauge copper wire. Eagle Claw makes their premium hook line. They are very good.

Do it yourself blade baits made easy.
