JJ knows this, but he also knows from another post, that there is no moderation going on! Dave

Oh dear, now we're in trouble! Dave

'When did TU become an advertising forum? I thought this forum was about DIY bait making. Years ago posters were banned for advertising here. I visit to learn and share info, not to see an advertisement about a companies attempt at selling an unwanted product to me. ' I reported this post when it first appeared, and again when it dropped the ruse and went into full sales mode. I know the mods are usually on top of dross like this, but this one seems to have slipped through. LSM joined 2 years ago, so it is a safe assumption that they know the rules and just decided to flaunt them! Dave

My guess would be 'no', because if a commercial lure 'hunted', there would be a significant volume of returns and complaints from people who do not understand the benefits of a hunting action. The lures would be deemed as faulty. I remember reading an article on TU, around about 2007, about a particular commercial that was close to hunting. If people bought say ten lures, then a 2 or 3 would have a hunting action. Dave

A huge amount of spam over the last few weeks, even more than legit posts. Other than just reporting, can I help? Message me. Dave

The biggest mistake is painting before testing. Dave

My vote would be horizontal, or nose to tail. Dave

Sorry, I do not have a guaranteed solution for you, but there are plenty of UV guys that should step in here. My thoughts would be a glass divider to shield and/or a ventilating fan to draw away the heat. See what the others think first Dave

I think the heat has expanded the air within the body. Dave

Love this, very poetic Dave

The flattened nose is a good idea. You want a shape that will disturb the water, not simply glide through, I suggest a fatter nose. The 'twitch' action causes a single vortex down one side, causing the side deviation. The next twitch will move in the opposite direction provided not too much time between twitches. As usual, I am talking theoretical, I have never made this type of bait. I tried to resist posting, but alas.... Dave

I too am using ABP. Dave

Everything OK here (Firefox). Dave

Someone at the patent office is not doing their job! Dave

I thought this was sarcasm. an under rated form of humour. But, then I noticed that this was your first post, which makes this a very thoughtful post, getting right to the crux of the problem - Welcome Dave
