Best way to drill into circuit board lips?
mark poulson replied to stumpjumper16's topic in Hard Baits
Bob, A while back a squarebill with a self-adjusting line tie was the big thing. Do you know how that worked? -
Yes. If you can find garlic flavored PAM, that's a bonus.
-
Thank you.
-
Does anyone besides Avid sell these blanks?
-
Have you ever considered putting silicone legs on your frog baits?
-
Balsa is a really thermally stable hard wood, but it is soft, so I would use a hard epoxy (glue epoxy) like D2T, or a UV cured resin, to protect it. I seal with runny super glue, paint, and then clear coat with UV cured resin.

I've used a 15 year old version of this vise for jigs and spinnerbaits with hooks to 5/0, and all it does is work: https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/supreme-rotating-fly-tying-vise

I heard Gary Yamamoto speak 10+ years ago, and he said he was still paying Gene Larew for the salt use suit.

I have only seen them for dust, and the intake was on a belt mounted power pack and filter. But that was 20+ years ago. You can check a woodworking supply store like Rockler to see what's available now: http://www.rockler.com/search/go?w=dust masks In order for a mask that filters organic vapors to work, it has to have the proper organic vapor filter with a large capacity, and a fan system to deliver the clean air. Maybe Grainger's would carry that kind of mask.

This is a quote from TW's Roboworm site: "The super soft plastic Strait Tail Worms end up having a very sensitive, alluring action complete with a Salt Release System that provides a burst of salt when a fish bites ' causing them to hold on longer for solid hooksets."

A MAC valve just before your air brush lets you change and control the air pressure easily: http://www.coastairbrush.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Iwata_Mac_Air_Controll_Valve I have one just before my quick disconnect fitting, so it stays on the air line no matter which brush I'm using.

Wooden Square Bills Blowing out at high speeds
mark poulson replied to DingerBaits's topic in Hard Baits
Maybe play with the size and shape of the bill. Also play with the angle of the bill. -
I have the same problem.
-
Maybe you need more clearance between the metal body and the interior beads.
-
Contact Smooth On and ask them for help.
-
I spray mine with PAM, and the baits release just fine.
-
If you still want to use the concrete sealer, try painting the hook swing areas with clear nail polish.
-
Sir. Or Your Royal Highness.

Personally, I think Baitjunky's right. The challenge of making my own plastisol, no matter how rewarding it might be, isn't worth the time and trouble it would take. Of course, if you can't get it where you live, then that might be another story.
-
Do you print halves and then do all the ballasting and hardware installation yourself first, or do you send them the prototype body and let them do that stuff?
-
That's a kid worth keeping! Hahahah
-
So far, so good. I anticipate grinding some rip rap rock this weekend, so we'll see how it holds up, but it has weathered both tules and grass so far.
-
Try putting some clear nail polish over the hook rash areas. That stuff is tough. After I've painted a bait, and top coated it with Rustoleum X2 Gloss Clear, I put a coat of nail polish over the path of the trebles, and don't get hook rash. But I don't paint trolling lures, so I don't know how it would hold up to trolling.
-
Did you give them your real name?
-
I float test my baits to be sure the ballast is right in a 5 gallon bucket of water. You can do the same thing in the kitchen sink or bath tub.
