    Spinnerbait Blades

    Here is a pic of the blade. The top 2/3 is the same size and shape as a #6 Indiana Blade. The bottom 1/3 is between a #4 and a #4 1/2 Colorado Blade. Thanks, Joe

    Spinnerbait Blades

    The blade I'm looking for is the same shape as an Indiana Blade. What makes it different is the bottom of the blade, instead of being a full tear drop shape, is more rounded like a Colorado Blade. Thanks, Joe
  3. I am trying to locate Spinnerbait Blades like the ones used on old Bull Dog Spinnerbaits. It ia a Super Dog Blade that is a cross between a Indiana and Colorado Blade. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Joe

    Color Chart

    The color I am looking for is one of the older colors. White belly, a little chartreuse at the head and a bluish silver black on the sides.

    Color Chart

    Hey Guy's, Does anyone know where I can find a color chart, or pic of the old Bagley BR4 in Bluegill with a white belly? Thanks, Joe
  8. I have found if you use a slow to medium retreive, the bait comes through the water just fine. If you try to burn the bait very fast, it will turn to the side, but the heart shaped heads will also do the same if the skirts ate too full and and create too much lift.
  9. I use an Ultra Minnow Jig Mold. Just use a small 3 corner file and put your grooves in place for your wire frame. Now you have 1 mold that serves as 2. Good Luck, Joe
  10. The answer to your question is yes. The Boggs can do just about anything you want. Boggs offers different size posts, so you can bend many different size wires. If you are making only Red Fish spinners, one size is all you need. Joe
  11. Soft plastics are out of my field, but for a long time, I wondered about using Spike It in an air brush. Color selection may be limited, but there may be enough colors out there that mixing may be an option.. Comments??? Joe
  12. Hey Chris, Give me a call when you get a chance. ( you have my number ) I can walk you through everything you need. I didn't forget your link, the girl is comming on Thursday to get me e mail straight and I have a list for her. Thanks, Joe
  13. I don't know if this is what Hoodaddy was refering to, but this is the jig I use. Here is a jig I made and had good success with. I don't have a pic of the gill template, but you should be able to get an idea as to how it works. The mesh is replaced with a piece of plastic from a paper binder sleve. The gills or whatever else you want to paint is cut into the plastic. The plastic has a little slack, so when the top of the jig is down, the plastic wraps around the bait just enough to create a seal. Mark the location of each bait, keep it in the same spot for each bait of the same type and paint.The plastic cleans up well and can be used over and over. The bait is attached to a dowl and nail holder and slides into a hole in the side of the jig allowing two hands free for painting.

    FLW Magazine

    Thanks Guy's, I had the first magazine, but it was the second article I couldn't find. Thanks again, Joe

    FLW Magazine

    Someone mentioned FlW Magazine had an article on building lures and some of the folks here at TU were featured. I had no luck in finding that month's edition. Would anyone happen to have a copy that could be put on TU or E Mailed to me? Thanks, Joe
  17. I use a wood dowl witha # 4 nail as my holder. The dowl holder stays with the bait till its time to install hardware. The epoxy at the rear end of the bait sticks to the nail, but that is not a problem. Thake a sharp knife and while holding the bait in your left hand, place the blade of the knife at the rear of the bait about 1/8 inch from the end of the lure and rotate the lure while holding the knife blade stationary. Make two or three passes, cutting through the epoxy to the metal holder and gently twist the bait and pull. It should come off with no problem. Thake fine sand paper and buff the remaining epoxy at the rear of the lure. Hope this helps. Joe

    Ultra Minnow

    Thanks, I found it in Barlows Catalog. Will order first thing Monday.. Thanks, Joe

    Ultra Minnow

    Hey Guy's, Can anyone tell me if there is a spinnerbait mold out there with a 1/8 oz. cavity similar to the Ultra Minnow. I have the 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 oz. mold, but have had request for a smaller head. Thanks, Joe
  20. I also use Devcon II for my spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. I do not thin, just use full strength. I take a marker and mark a line every 1/4 inch on the tube. That lets me have control over how much epoxy I use. Generaly, 1/4 inch of Devcon II will coat 12 - 15 baits before setting up. I find I have very little waste doing it this way. Good Luck, Joe
  21. Like RiverMan said, one of those green scratchy things . Use with clear windex and no problems. Joe
  22. I have 4' shop lights about 2' above my work bench. I just put the tube of Devcon II on top of the light about half hour before topcoating. It flows like water. Good Luck, Joe
  23. I also keep a log on each bait I make. I take it one extra step that I feel is important for me. I will build a crankbait, assemble it ,topcoat with devcon, install hooks . Instead of painting the bait, I use a colored marker and make one side green and the other side red. This way, as the bait goes through the water, I can see just what is happening as far as the side to side movement goes. After I am satisfied with the performance of the lure---I take it apart and duplicate the entire process on a new bait. If all goes well, the new bait will require little or no ajustments. The original bait ( now in peices ) goes into a numbered bag that matches all the spec info in the note book. Note: keep the log high and dry so that you will not have a need to start from scratch if flooded by a hurricane as I was. Trying to rebuild 25 years worth of information is tough! Good Luck, Joe
  24. Check either Barlows or Netcraft. I can't remember which is where I bought mine. It is a tube that attaches to your work bench. The collars are loaded onto the tube and rolled off onto the skirt pads as they are pulled through the tube. Price is around $12.00 Good Luck, Joe
