  1. I agree the H2O baits are great & the hooks are good quality. However, if your going to repaint make sure you request "shadtruce" or the "ghost", most of the others have glitter in the topcoat and they dont paint up as nice.
  2. Bob, how do you keep the DN from forming a drip or building up at the end of the bait? I tried this and rear hook hanger had 1/16" of DN covering it.

    Thats the idea, wish I could make it look the same on a lipless bait.
  7. What Rayburn said and if your netting material is too stiff you might need to wash it by hand with soap and water to soften it a bit.
  8. I have that brush too, take the nozzle cap off and you can paint blades of grass, its a fine piece of equipment!!
  9. If you sit down and add up the cost of supplies I'll bet your into the lure $4-$5.

    Those things rock dude!!
  12. I never understood why people wanted to thin ether one of them?? I mean Etex is already thin enough and 2-ton can be thinned by heating it up with a hair dryer. Hotter you heat it the thinner it gets. I personally think your asking for a weaker clear coat if you cut it.
  13. This is how I paint my 'bows; pearl white after the primer, gill red stripe + gill plates, thin blue line under red line & along jaw line, a slight misting of brown around the eye and gill plate, violet above red line slightly blending the red/blue/violet lines together. Blend the head an gill plate with violet. Hit the whole bait with a shimmering gold mist [not the belly]. And you can paint the back whatever color you choose. On the baits below all I changed was the top color. Use dots of different sizes.
