Like Dean said, Michael's and Hobby Lobby with have the biggest selection, just look for the smallest glitter you can find.

All of the hard woods will give off a louder sound than a soft wood. I find cedar has a much louder sound than balsa and poplar is louder than the cedar. The joints banging together will be much louder than a installed rattle.

I'm with Dean on this one.

New sexy shad paint job on a Lucky Craft RC 2.5....

That's a sharp looking bait. -
Ron, I feel your pain. My piece of crap Delta is sure making some odd noises now. I've never been able to cut a straight lip slot and I don't think it would matter if I used a bandsaw or dremel tool. I can't cut a straight line.

I'm with Riverman, I hated my VL and then I got the Iwata gravity feed and all is well. I can spray all my paints except the heaviest pearls at 18psi.
-
I think you will run into problems shooting pearls and metallic colors, but everything else should work just fine. I have some problems with the pearls in my eclipse. The taxidermy paints work better for me, you might want to try wildlife colors.
-
Paint both sections before you put the bait together or make a jig to hold the bait taught while painting. I've used a coat hanger bent in a shape of a big U.
-
Action over color in most of the time.
-
You can also drill the hole for balast weight prior to cutting out the blank. But get the forsntner bit, it's worth the money.
-
Ro, I think you are correct on that, I've got an added 0 that does not belong .5 mm for the syphon feed eclipse and .35 mm for the gravity feed model.
-
I have the Iwata eclipse in both gravity and syphon feed. I love both but the gravity feed is the winner hands down for ease of use and cleaning. It has a slightly smaller tip at .035 and the syphon feed is .05mm. You can't go wrong with the Iwata brand. but the badger users are going to tell you the same thing. Both brands make quality equip.

thanks guys I really prefer building these smaller baits and 1 day I'm going to learn how to paint with stencils for my craw patterns. -
Great looking pattern there. -
Ron, that is a first class wake bait. -
5 inch flat sided wake baits and Balsa B copies. -
this is a batch of shallow runners, getting ready for the fall bite.
-
I caught smallies this weekend that didn't look that good. That is for a lack of better words just cool. -
Fatfingers, 16 feet for the first and third bait. My tester did not fish the super long lip just yet. -
Ron, the jointed bait is not hard just make sure the hangers are centered and I like double hangers better than a single. Holds the tail in position to swim. -
Thanks guys, I am proud of that one. Ron that bait is 2 3/8 long and weight is 1/2oz -
This is a copy of the old Heddon Hedd Hunter, this bait has a real crazy action.
-
thanks fellas, I haven't tested to depth yet on any of those but I have test the action and all the baits run true with a real nice wobble. I have a deep water specialist that will be testing these on Lake of the Ozarks in about 2 weeks.
-
a few wake baits for a friend, the jointed bait is 5" long the others are 6".

I'm still playing with big round deep diving baits and a round shallow bait.
