Great work again Vince, as usual, just works of art.pete -
Mark/Pikeman, there is enough gap there, it's just that the head is tilted toward the camera, so looks like there is none. BBDUC, yes I saw that and it looks like his is on the right track, with smaller lures I think there is just too much friction, and this should cut it down considerably - I just had another look at your jointed baits, very neat little set up, nice work .pete -
That's me Coley, forever banging them on something, great idea, will have to try it.pete

Anybody have problems with packages getting damaged in shipping?
hazmail replied to King Bait Co.'s topic in The Docks
I have had countless packages from the U.S through USPS (over about 20 years), and have never had anything damaged, usually takes about 5-7 days (for 14,000 miles) and they are banging on my door -------------although I am waiting for a float switch which was ordered (and paid for) on the 14th Feb, but you can bet it's the seller who is holding it up not USPS or Australia Post.I can get things quicker from U.S than I can from Perth( W.A) or China/Japan. pete -
If you application is not in it's too late **********, BUT I might just know somebody who can help!! The Best Job In The World

Good on you 5bites, what sort of job is it ? - he probably thought you must be pretty good with your hands, and don't sit on your a*** all day doing nothing, sometimes people think luck comes to them. Congratulations and enjoy your new fishing buddy.pete

Thanks John/ Daemai - this lure was pretty good before I painted / finished it, but now does not want to preform (only at med/fast), I think the hinges have a bit too much friction for the bait size, and also got small amounts of D2T in them when gluing them up, which would not help. I am going to add a tail in the hope that this adds a little extra drag and does something. I hate it when I finish a lure and find it is a dud. We will see what happens, the tail is being set at this very moment.pete

Wild, these would be great in salt water. Very nice work.pete -
Diemai, I was taking some pics last night, and snapped this one while I was at it, the holes are there, just need to make and glue the eyes into this today (and 2 others).pete

John I copied yours, they are made from PVC pipe, which when I checked my junk bin, found are in various thicknesses, from 1mm to 3mm, so 2 - 3mm was just about right. As for the lures, I am having varying results, from great to so so with the action - this is a lot to do with my inexperience with weighting these. Playing with tails now, as these seem to have a positive effect.pete

Matt, you can't buy them, you have to make em.pete

Promises, promises. I had the same experience last week, they wanted me to do a spray tan for the wedding - ran out of 'burnt umber'. Story of my short life.pete

Diemai- have you ever visited some of those Russian sites, they are in a world of their own, such innovators, they will try anything to catch a fish, and the detail is unbelievable.pete

John, great work and great result - I had just sent an email to 'Jamie' saying I would have to do a test on the hinges and see what happens, then I came across your post. You have excelled, and saved me a heap of time. As Daemai said, it would be a big fish that would put 54lb on a line attached to a good rod. Thanks again, and excellent work.pete

Besides all the junk, I have a few going, from disasters, ready to go, to near finished, probably a reflection of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:roll:pete[/img]
