Orion

Sounds like a bobber and a hook to me.

What about video tutorials?? I might do some sort of tutorial at some point but I was wondering about video ones. Orion

Thanks. Should be good fun.

Hello everyone, I had started to make an appearance on this site last year. I don't think I got very known but I'm back. The reason I left was because I got very busy with school and life. I'm back and ready to start getting serious about making lure etc. I got into my college and I'm finishing up my last year of high school. It feels great. Good to be back, can't wait to get to know many if not all of you. Orion

I don't know whoes better then who but you've replied to my questions so.... I sent you a PM vodkaman. I have to get off the computer so I'm not going to do any replies yet...... lol I'm at school and it's time for my next class....... no fun....much rather be fishing.

Thank you guys thats very helpful. Vodkaman do you carve your own balsa baits or do you buy them? And for the wood glue and water sealer what type of paints work best for them? Would Createx work? and then after priming and painting do you just brush or smear on Devcon? Haha, i hate Walmart... it's like a darn labrynth. I'm lucky if i can find what I'm looking for there in less then an hour. None of the employs know either..... what section of Wallmart should i look in for the hexigonial fabric? Although confused by Walmarts large, mazeyness that is still what I thought the process for those patterns was but i wasn't sure thank you.

Sweet, also if anyone can answer some of the questions on my other post "lots of questions..." that'd be greatly appreciated.

Haha, that's funny.... and sadly possibly true. But do you think it'll work?

I found just a few other things that I was confused about.... In the hard bait gallery I've noticed that some of you are creating hexigonial patterns on the baits that show up after painting it. (An example of this could be one of the newly posted hard baits tittled "first crankbait"). I know this is probably a really obvious process but i can't seem to figure it out, i have some ideas but I'd rather not try and mess up. Another question is; when reading posts on this site I've noticed that some of you use sealer on wooden baits before priming, painting and topcoating. I was wondering, if I used an already made plastic bodied bait would i need to coat it with something before priming etc.? Also for wooden baits i read on here that one could first coat the bait with Devcon and then prime and paint with laquer paints and then re-devcon without having to sand or seal the wood, is this true? And one last thing; in your opinions, what is the best way to go about coating or sealing, priming, painting, and topcoating a wooden or plastic hard bait. (These lures would be used for bass, small and large mouth, pike, musky, and trolling for walleye).

Ok, I'll try it out and let you know how it works i'll have to get the Conex kit to build it and I'll also need to see what RPM the motor runs. I'll post what i find out.

You guys know those plastic toys, Conex (pornounced Connects), well my brother made a farris wheel that spun with a Conex brad motor for a school project. I was wondering if i could use that same idea but build a drying wheel with some sort of holders off each side of the wheel for the lures. Any ideas?

Oh, i didn't see those ones that is kinda helpful but.... I'm looking for the bigger sized ones those are only 3 3/4 inches. If anyone does happen to come by 5 inch and up , unpainted, jointed crankbaits it would be helpful if you let me know.

I can't seem to find any unpainted jointed crankbait bodies (of any length, looking for the 5inch range though). If anyone could help me out with this it'd be great. Thanks.

Thank you for your help.....hehe... but i still can't find what you're talking about..... i looked for like 5 minutes and i'm sure once i'm told where they are i'll kick my self but can you help me find them. Thanks again.

Hey all. I'm new to this site and i was wondering.... somone mentioned to me that there's a place on this site that gives instructions on making swimbait molds..... can anyone help me out in finding that?
