    wow. wedeal with polar bears. they dont stick to baits. baits stick to them. along with dog hairs from the sled team.. id pay 5 bucks to see a live skeeter
  5. woodieb8

    we pre drill eye holes with a countersink. after painting before clear coating we press in the eyes. when epoxied they will never move. hope this helps out folks

    its a dog eat dog world i guess. im glad i was raised properly. being in the bait biz is certainly very trying at times. thick skin is a pre requisete. one thing on this board is i am amazed at the dedication of all the builders. being willing to think outside of the box truly revolutionizes the art of lure making..

    wow you could do surgery compared to my shop

    depending on whats needed. we do trolling cranks. its action then color.. bottom line is go fish period the fish will let ya know.

    we t all hooks from 3/0 on standard baits to custom baits that require 10/0 hooks
  14. woodieb8
    we do try to create a lure ready to fish.. baits get the crap run outa them. running a jointed bait for 6 hours at 4 mph is a lot of run time. also using cedar or softer woods for action and staying higher in the water column. . some guys will bullhornthe hooks. i just t them. its just a little extra time.. ..

    getting articles thru customs is a pain. the best way thru, is mail its slow but they will only charge the g.s.t and a 5 dollar fee. if you ship a couriers as fed -ex. or u.p.s you will be hammered by brokerage fees. they are a complete rip-off.. ordering flammables as paints and thinners theres also another shipping cost for hazardous items..

    we t all of our hooks before packaging. like its been stated hooks eat lures. split rings actually make matters worse. i fish st clair also. pulling baits at 4mph for hours is truly tuff on lures. then them toothy critters have teeth like razors. anyone that fishes musky can attest to bleeding.

    muskies try to eat props. why not tires for bass. sharks eat tarpaper rolls.. why not.

    Primer

    woodieb8 replied to CreekMonster's topic in Hard Baits

    we use mcdonald and white primer. im in canada though. its dry time is fast and it holds any color paint lacquers or water based.. you could try automotive lacquer primer in white, blk,, red oxcide or grey.. i prefer white for flourescents
