Dave, Would having a longer tail stem, the part leading to the circular tail, reduce the tail's affect on the body?
-
I think LPO has them.

I must be missing something. What do badges have to do with lure making? -
This is an oooold post. 2008

Rookie Question - Sealing Balsa Cranks with KBS...
mark poulson replied to LIVE3DREAM's topic in Hard Baits
I use runny super glue to seal my balsa baits, two coats. -
Man, all this badge stuff has me dazed and confused, like trying to figure out a new smartphone. Hahaha

You might try flattening the clevis a bit, so the blade rotates tighter to the shaft. I'm guessing you can bend the ends back to the right angle and still have room for the blade to swing.

I have found that, for me, the courser salt affect the color less. So I use Kosher salt. It's not perfect, but it helps.

If you get the core plastic hot enough, around 325, it will bond. But the nice thing about core shot worms is that they seldom come apart, because the core is full enclosed by the outer plastic.

Any blades I've powder coated came out much heavier that the original. I use blade dip now, or sharpies.

Maybe he meant Scooby diving. Hahaha

Salt will make baits more opaque. The finer the salt, the more it reduces translucence.

You'll probably get more and better replies if you post this in the Wire Baits Forum.

So that's the reason my kids say I can't cook! Hahaha

Will do! Thanks.

If he only did a little, it should be no problem, but don't let him keep doing it. Wipe down the inside with dish washing soap and water, then rinse it really well and wipe it dry. Let it sit to dry with the door open. He needs to be out of the house when he makes plastisol baits, and use a dedicated microwave with good ventilation and a respirator with a solvent-filter, like painters use. 3M makes them, and they are a good investment in your child's health. Here's what I use: https://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-Medium-Paint-Project-Respirator-Mask-6211PA1-A/100653900

Nathan, I fear his mother too much to ever do that. Hahaha He and his dad are going out on the boat with me this October for the first time, after his baby brother is born. I'm pretty sure he'll be thrilled. It will be interesting to see how he reacts to seeing live fish, and, hopefully, catching one. If things are slow, I can always fill the livewell and let him play with his cranks in it. Being a grandpa is such hard work! Hahaha

I find doing a float test with the commercial bait I want to imitate helps me figure out ballast size and placement. I make my knockoff, add the split rings and trebles, and then put it side by side with the original in my bucket of water, and adjust the ballast weight and location until my bait sits like the original. For me, it gives me a good starting point, and I can vary things from there, one at a time, to get my bait to work differently if I want to.

I took the hooks off of some of my old cranks and gave them to my two year old grandson for bathtub toys. He says he likes them because they look like fish, even the craws. Hahaha

I use a piece of panty hose under the bottle cap to strain out junk.

I would contact a rod repair person near you and ask them.

Thanks. -
Thanks.

I would do a test first. Sometimes soft plastics melt hard plastic.
