Do a search on Lurecoat, lots and lots of topics on it, but a short answer is yes.

Never had a problem with Sharpie ink on any epoxy, but it will run on a solvent based clear, such as Lurecoat. If you thin your epoxy (I only have experience with D2T), you might cause a problem as well

Some use waterlide type decals, others use sharpies

never used one, but a lot of guys that I admire on this site use them

Yeah, they and A.C. Moore both have Badger and Aztek.

Third for Dixie If that doesn't work, both Michael's and A.C. Moore, if you have those local, offer weekly 40-50% coupons here, generally in the flier or the Sunday paper.

Yep, i'd lose the forum, your site is to sell baits, if you want a fishing forum, make it a seperate entity. Also, why the Google ads? I got an ad for someone else's baits right beside your baits. If I click it, they pay you a nikel, if I click your baits, you make a sale. I'd also use Gif's with transparency on the color chart page, the white block doesn't look right to me.

I just asked this same question to Skeet! I intend to find out on one I'm gonna get him to build.

To add to this, look to a domain provider such as dotster.com and buy a domain, then forward that domain to your cable/dsl account space, so the long addy isn't in the picture. There will also be an option to mask the url, which I recommend because in the future, if you want to purchase space, or move, etc, the cable address (the long one) will be hidden, and all that will be seen is the domain name, such as www.thejbfc.com instead of www.cableprovider.com/username/site.html, so you are free to change the backside of things without sending people to dead pages in the future. There are some cheap plans out there, doteasy.com will hook you up with a domain and some space for $25/year, but be careful. If you intend to use a shopping cart or something that requires a database, you're SOL with this plan.

Well said, I get disheartened when reading new topics sometimes. I don't feel that I've done anything great, but I've done some dumb stuff, and have a big, fat pile of rejects to prove it But on the bright side, I know the answers to lots of questions now.

I'll echo what everyone else is saying, although you can get some nice effects, this is DM white with LC 536 and LC .015 green Thought I had a picture of it, but I've also used some LC silver holo flake with white, it doesn't bleed, and looks nice, you just have to choose carefully.

I'm pretty sure that you have to make your own, although this has been talked about before, do a search to see

Jann's Netcraft is one place you can start, I like to practice on those, they're cheap and readily available

There may be a few kinds, but when I first got some of that paint from LC, I received retarder instead of the thinner. Figured I could clean my gun with MEK, I went ahead and sprayed, but it didn't clean the gun! After the thinner got here, that cleaned it up just fine, and have tried numerous things, just none that will thin or clean the LC stuff up but LC thinner. Thoughts?

Looks pretty good! Jim@ghostbaits gets most of Bob's stuff, might check with him. The one Shawn has is very nice too!

I do not use them for anything but Bass fishing, and am unfamiliar with anything saltwater, although I've never seen a huge one, if there was, someone, somewhere, would try it and catch a big one The rattles are to further enhance the crawfish look/feel. Supposed to imitate a craw scampering about on the rocks, or maybe even it's claws closing. It's also used as an aid in dark/murky water for the fish to find the bait.

Well, the trailer does a few things for a jig, first, it adds bulk, making it appear larger, and slowing the fall, second, it's for looks, the claws sticking out the back resemble a crawfish. Third (and not lastly), it provides action, via the claws flapping about. I made that jig and trailer, the skirt was in pad form, I combined them in the 'arm' part that acts as a rattle holster. What the pads are basically is a 5.5" piece of silicone that has slits, but is bonded on each end for ease of assembly. On that particaular type of skirt band, I slip it on the nose of a pair of needle nose pliers, then fold the bonded ends of the pad together to place in the band, then pull them through. Once I have the band positioned where I want it, you simply cut the bonded ends, freeing the slit rubber, most have around 20 strands. Skirts also come pre-made, with the band already on them, but if you went as far as making the jig, why limit yourself!

Don't have a video, but here is one rigged!

They're jig trailers

Can you can add worm colorant to get the desired color?
