hey man split the difference try using jump rings and silver solder them on. then you can pull orca in.. we use what you are using. tig wire, welding, and it is not cheap here in canada

Whats best? A dark color or light on the bottom of a bait??
woodieb8 replied to Mylures's topic in Hard Baits
hi ken. here on st clair the rule of thumb is clean waters wh/belly dark or dirty yellow belly. for natural baits as 9 dollar bass , baby bass and such we use a creme wh/ belly. rember musky can not see down only up and there vision they cannot see dead ahead -
i would love to see a picture. it would really help the guys. as for the waters to warm. it hit 82.5 on st clair. its starting to cool down now. tuff on skies, for releasing
-
is it a straight bait or jointed. if it rolls to hard it will just roll if trolled. you may have to play with belly lead. might be time to play with the egg sinkers
-
we use 9mm animal eyes. they have a stem so pre drilling first 9/64 drill. a little glue and there in. 6 bucks a 100

cool name for sure. it tells thestoryline where you are located

what we do at woodieb8s is . we have the local charterboat captains run product. introducing a new color to a complete new design. the problems in the market are all with there hands out. feedback on product befofer it hits the markets is worth a million bucks. just a few thoughts from the great white north.

the key thing is to establish a good track record with the local stores and guides. beginning word of mouth is an exellent start. stand behind your product always.. do a few fishing shows, get pictures, its endless, use your creativity and in time it will come. many guys are ivernite sucesses after 10 years or so. good luck woodie baits

cliff we use a lot of lacquer based paints. we are in canada though. one thing it does have the qualities of dry fast but you would have to be very careful. toxidity and acceptability to other finishes. as for suppliers its a demographic thing but if you have any questions on using feel free to pm us.

definately screw eye placement. either go lower or go to the pull from the lip. this means using wire thru the front half. take a look at the tuff shads
-
5 minute epoxy or seal all works well. when putting lips in scuff the part that goes into the bait. it will hold 10 times better
-
hi just noticed your post. poplar is not a good woodfor water. it swells lika a ball park frank. one thing you can never completely seal a bait. water will get in after some usage. apply a good sealer after your lips cut and screw holes drilled. harder clear coats have a tendency to crack over time. eg. automotive clears. if on plastic they are fine but with wood theres always the moisture factor
-
scugogs more weedie but some guys luv the big 9 for there. good luck

mcdonald and white paint company walker rd. windsor ont they carry all of the paints needed in lacquer or enamels. they make 2 styles of lacquer sanding sealer. one has 30 percent more solids.. quarts, gallons or 5 gallon pails. this when applied will eliminate paint lift , haze, cracking. we dip all of our bodies after all of the screw holes are drilled, lip cut. i hope this helps it a very cheap product to use and insure a fine product and its totally dry in less then an hour
-
try bass pro, gander ,cabelas or lakeside tackle in st clair shores for small amounts
-
man are you lucky. should go buy a lotto ticket. if ya run out seeing your in canada try mcdonald and white sanding sealer. awesome and cheap

self promotion and egos. i have been at it a very long time. i have learned long ago never get up on the soapbox. there always someone to kick it out from under you. this site and all of its luremakers are a very iniative group of adventerous people.. we do production and customs and believe mei would rather be a custom adventerous person as all on this site. remember where did the wheel comefrom guys. keep on and thanks for the info and the sharing of many GREAT ideas. george woodie b8s
