If you use Pro-Tec powder paint for your jigs, you shouldn't have to top coat with Devcon. After the paint is cured in the oven, its about as tough as you can use. I have painted many jigs with powder paint and fish them straight up and down in 30 ft of water on a rocky bottom for Sauger for hours on end and have had some wear on the paint but, no chipping.

There is a tutorial on this site for scales. There is a lot of discussion in the hard bait section about painting eyes and using stick-on eyes. Coley

I live in TN. But, I don't do any fishing in the Clarksville area. I would guess big water would be Kentucky and Barkley lake. Anyhow we will be glad to have you. Coley

The easiest way to make a dot, is to take a piece of black electrical tape and a 1/4" hole punch. Punch the dot out and stick it on the bait, then clear coat as usual. You cannot feel the dot under devcon. Coley

Has any one thought about a conveyor to cure baits on?? Conveyor is not really the right word in this case, but something that runs similar to one. A chain set at a 45 degree angle with bait attachments. It could be 8 feet long. My question is, what speed would it have to run to be as effective as a round drying wheel?? It could be mounted on a wall with out taking up much space. Give me your ideas on this. I imagine at 4-5 rpm it would really be moving on.

You can dye Lumaflex with several dyes. Rit works, but bleeds too much. Plastic worm dye works, also bleeds a lot. I like India ink. It comes in many colors goes on nicely with a small artist paint brush. Doesn't bleed much. And seems to hold up well. Also, it is waterproof. Coley

I know this may sound a little harsh. Set your price and stick with it. Were not in this business to appease stores. When they get ready to resell your baits, I don't think they will bat an eye about whether or not their price will PO customers. Sorry, that's how I feel. Coley

Here is a sealer Lincoya put me on, it's called Prep, all-purpose Sealer, from Delta Creamcoat. Prepares wood and other porous surfaces for paint. It is waterbased and does a good job. You can put it on with a brush. Dries in less than an hour, ready for sanding. Coley

Hey robertjp, if you think the oil base was the problem of your water based paint peeling, why do you suppose it only happened on 3 baits? My guess would be that water leaked into the bait through an unsealed spot and allowed moisture to collect and swell the bait causing the problem. I use oil base sealer and primer and have not had any problems of this nature. No baits that I have sold have been returned to me with any problems. I like Kilz original primer because of the volume of high build solids. Coley

I know most of you have read and reread Lincoya's photo bait process. Let me add that you can use this same process to make patterns for your baits. You may use a digital camera to take a picture of a bait you like, resize it to what ever you want, print it out, glue it on a wood blank and cut it out. There's your wooden pattern you can trace around many times to make your baits. Coley
