    Darter repaint

    bbduc, This bait was demolished when I got it. Had to sand it to make it paintable....I replaced the lip, reweighted it, new glass hand painted eyes the whole nine yards... basically a new bait. Rod

    More Norway Runner's

    Norway Pike, Named them that because I got the idea for the shape and some of the paint patterns from a Norweigan lure website a while back and was inspired..... Rod

  13. Mark, You can get it here.....it's great for keeping your airbrush parts from sticking also. Awesome product. Iwata Medea Airbrush Accessories - JerrysArtarama.com Rod
  14. Mark, I use several airbrushes and have them ready with paint and use quick disconnect to go from gun to gun...I used to have the tip drying problem but now I put a small amount of Super Lube from Medea on the tip of the needles and it smooths everything out....been doing this for several years and it works and doesn't effect the paint. Rod
  15. cdwilder, Just tried to order the ps900 with the coupon code.....it didn't work...did you pull it???? Anyway I ordered the gun anyway....I am a big Iwata user, have been for years. I have heard many things about your guns so I am going to try one. Rod
  16. Weighting Walk the Dog baits...... We build some top water WTD style Musky Baits. We make 7, 8 and 10 inchers. They are made from cedar and are turned on a lathe starting with 1 1/2" square stock. They are tapered with the head being 1 1/8" down to 1/2" in the tail for the 7 and 8 inchers and a little bigger diameter for the 10 inchers. We then soak the blank in sanding sealer and let dry. Next we drill a hole with a 3/8" forsner bit straight in the tail of the bait about 1 inch long. We then attach a 1 1/2" screw eye in the middle of the hole. We then melt 1/2 oz of lead and pour it in the hole around the screw eye. The end is sealed with epoxy, the other screw eye is added and then prime, paint and top coat. This seems to be the perfect weight for this bait. They turn out to be 2 1/2 and 3 oz. with two 4/0 VMC trebles. These baits have awesome action, very easy to work and Muskies love em. I have caught some huge smallmouth on these while fishing for Musky.....With the 10 inchers we use 3/4 oz lead. These end up about 4 oz or so and three 5/0 VMC trebles. Because these baits are heavier than most commercial WTD topwaters they don't blow out as easy on a strike from below and you get much better hook ups. All of these baits have the line tie approximately 1/4" under the nose of the bait. Rod

    Few Questions

    We use 3X stainless steel split rings from Stamina in sizes 5 & 6 ....the 5's are rated at 220# test and the 6's are rated at 350# test they will never fail.....you can get them in stainless steel or black nickel. I believe Wolverine makes them. Rod
  19. Very nice Jed, can't wait to see a painted version...love the action! Rod
  20. Yvon, You can buy unpainted glass eyes in hundreds of sizes with just the black pupil from any Taxidermy supply. You simply turn the eye over and paint the back whatever you want. Possibilities are endless. Try Van Dyke's....Here is an example of some I have done in the past....
  21. Mark, Check this out, this is one of my shad baits with the method you mentioned....small world. Rod

    Stencils??

    Try Mylar, you can buy sheets of it at most hobby or craft shops. Trace your pattern and can cut it out with xacto knife or stencil cutter, and they will last forever. It bends easily to form to your needs. Awesome stuff. Rod

    Clear Epoxy

    Try this....you won't be sorry. http://www.swingpaints.com/1555.htm Goes on like etex, glass like finish, harder than etex. Has UV inhibitors.... Rod
  25. DT, I think all of us Musky guys would be very interested in a clear coat that tough....I have used all the good ones over the years and have about the same results as far as teeth and hook rash....I would be willing to pay more to get the best....I would love to try it.... Rod
