Thank you both..Yeah FF. these are great on Smallies,Largemouths & Pikies for certain.. I prefer the 4" Surfster for Largemouths myself.. I just made a group of sixteen 4" pikies for two brothers here to take up to Nothern Ontario for some Pike fishin' in mid-Sept ..Cant wait to hear/see the results.. Sure hope that D2T is as tough as they say it is!.. John~ -

I got lucky when I bought my Vega 36" dupl., It was a display model to begin with at WoodCraft in Pittsburgh,Pa.. The store had no plan to restock the large dupl & it was marked down from $738 to $570.. They were also having a one day half off sale too so I got for like $285.. They threw in the optional Diamond "V" cutter kit too.. I was surprised how easily the Vega mounted to my old Sears/Roebuck 1949 lathe!..They definitely speed up the lure turning process when you're making multiple blanks.. John

If you run a search in the threads, the archives will have plenty of info on the duplicators for sure..Seen plenty of posts on the subject in the past.. I use a 36" Vega duplicator, works great, and they do have a smaller version for 12" lathes too.. I dont make cranks tho, I turn Pikie bodies out the wazoo with mine & all are quite exact duplicates of eachother.. John

I misread your question.. I thought you wanted to know how much epoxy for all 5.. Yeah Im sure one syringe will do at least 2-3 complete lures if you heat it first & keep it warm throughout.. -
haha.. I dont know Daymon.. I use the 9oz bottle kit and it took about 1/3 bottle of each part to do all 5 lures with 3 coats.. I heat the epoxy in hot water first so its nice and runny.. Goes alot farther that way.. Just met with the buyer today, sold the lot for $200, I was happy & he was happy.. John

Beautiful lures for sure, especially like the one on the left, great looking pec fins too.. If anyone out there who makes this style lure would like to sell a couple blanks Id be interested in hearing from ya.. Ive never made these, dont know the exact body design or weight placement either--would like to learn more if possible..I lathe turn all my lures, would like to move away from the lathe & metal lip lures for a breather.. again super looking lures..!
