Hi guys - I am making some marabou bucktails and i am experiencing some bleeding in the marabou. I have thouroughly rinsed the tails and I am still seeing the bleeding. It is not a huge deal on most, but i am making some contrasting colors (black/white, red/white, black/yellow) and I dont want the colors to mix together killing the look of the baits. I have run them through the washing machine multiple times, rinsed them over and over with hot water...I am at a loss. I can get them to the point where all the excess die seems to be rinsed off, but the dark colors are still bleeding onto to the light when mixed... Anybody have any ideas on what I can do to get rid of all the excess die and make sure these things are colorfast? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks - Luke

Thanks. That looks like a nice bait you have there. I am going to give that method a try.

Thanks, Richoc. I have another idea to try in my head. Just have to try and get it perfected.

got any pictures?

Cabela's has them. Check out their website and search for "terminator quick skirts".

I am looking at making some large twin spin musky spinnerbaits. I am looking for some tips on making the twin spin portion of this lure. Anyone have experience or tips for making these? Thanks - Baldy
