jerkbaiter

being i use to work in a chemical plant and i made household cleaners i can say windex has water a small amount of amonia and 99% ipa witch ipa is the same as alcohol and blue dye and presto you have window cleaner

i would shoot the bottom with a yellow and then put some scale netting over the lure and shoot the sides with a darker green and the top black Jack

i just got back from walmart and i picked up 12 in the clown color for 25 cents each yes 12 smithwick suspending pro rogues for 3 bucks they are all the same color but after i get finished with um i also got 10 mann's baby minus 4 and 6 storm thunder dog top waters for 25 cents each i cleaned the discount shelf off no more lol thats way better then e bay so yall might want to hit a few walmart stores 28 lures for under 7 bucks Jack

i would guess 1647. what part of florida is the show in. Jack

if you want perfect round eyes with an airbrush i have found a drill bit gauge works great i just tape up the holes i don't use the size gage i got goes from 1/16th to 1/2 half the great thing is i got it free in the mail Jack

thanks for the helpfull hints what i did was let the bondo harden to hard i did 2 almost perfect sides lastnight i have been bustin my brains for over 10 months on how to make an exact protocopy of the lunkers club top water lures and thanks to this sight i almost feel like i got alittle of that japan lure making blood in me lol i also did not have no wd-40 so i used pam cooking spray to keep the 2 molds from sticking together agine thanks husky and coley Jack

i myself also like the foil tape i get the scale effect by pulling the fine scale netting over the foil after its on the lure and taking the smooth edge of a hobby knife and rolling it over the foil i shoot my paint straight on the foil in really thin coats then i put my devcon on Jack

well yesterday i went out and got some bondo to make a mold for some baits. the lure i was using for the mold was a lunkers club topwater and i tore the bait all up just trying to get it out of the mold. (40 dollar top water) is there a trick on how to get it out of the bondo .also i was under the understanding that those baits were made of wood but come to find out they are a foam bait as well.also has anyone tried a store bought bait in a bondo mold thanks Jack

wallmart has it for that at normal price but scence we are on the subject tho i think ill share how i apply my devcon 2 ton i put 2 thin coats on it but i apply it 1 coat at a time really thin i use a finger out of a rubber glove to spread it on thin then i put it on one of those deals you buy candy suckers on that turn little hand held gadget that turns a sucker or lolly pop in a kids mouth.i turn it for 10 to 15 minutes let it dry on there a few hours then apply the second coat......

i came across a taxidermy websight with a tool called a Mac-Z-Scaler Texture Roller >>>>> this is the discripition of the tool >>> ( This is the easiest way to add scale texture to the seam on skin-mount fish or to re-add scales to the top and bottom seam on reproduction fish. Smooth on the Apoxie Sculpt, being careful to blend the edges in. Dip the Mac-Z-Scaler into water and roll the tool from the head towards the tail. You now have the seam of the fish completely scale textured with a minimum effort ) i was wondering if anyone has used this tool for adding scales to the top of foil on a foil finish bait web link >>>>>> http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/product/01001139/ thanks Jack

in the december issue of bassmaster magazine under tips to save you money there is a tip that talks about making crankbait lips out of the leftover plastic dividers in your tackle box to some of you pro's out there of tackle building do you think they would hold up ?????????? Jack

im not shure if this is the proper board to post this on but i got 9 bottles of vinyl paint all 1 oz all new all different colors and 1 jar of 4 oz vinyl clear gloss i would trade for a 2 home made lures to the first person that sends me there address via e mail i never could get the stuff to shoot through my airbrush right so i went to cretex water base .......... ps i will only ship to the lower 49 states my e mail is fisherman031169@netscape.net thanks Jack

binder clips really hold the netting tight beshure tho you don't get the binder clips to close to the lure or it will scratch the paint on it Jack

i often ask myself that same queston i mostly use polyurethane to seal my cedar plugs if i foil wrap them i put the foil i use right on the wood it's the kind i get from the local hardware store that has a sticky backing then i seal that with devcon 2 ton i apply the devcon as thin as possible then lightly sand it when its dry and shoot my paint colors Jack

thanks for all the great feed back i think im gonna look into a disk belt sander combo like most yall were talking about agine many thanks and this sight rocks................................ Jack

i was wondering if anyone uses the dremel contour sander to shape there wooden lure bodies hand sanding cedar for me is getting old and im thinking about investing in one was wondering if it works and is it a good investment thanks Jack

to hold my scale netting on my lures tight i found that regular small binder clips you can pick up from the office suppy or school supply section at wallmart do the trick perfect..............................

i was wondering to help balance out and waight my jerkbaits can i add suspend strips under my foil wraps and if anyone has ever tried it how it turned out i also wanna thank the people on here that put up some great post this sight is a gem of a sight thats forshure
