Premade belly weight/hook hangers!!! Why did you tell me that, now i have to buy some
-
On some of my baits Ive had to run the screw eye through the lead to get proper placement for hooks and joints. I just used screw eyes long enough to go though the lead and into the pvc
-
Yes, the trout on his web site looks just like the one i copied from google images and used on my bait -
I use a 10 g epoxy to 8 g hardner ratio with D2t
-
I know they used to sell TU t-shirts .cuz i have a few worn out ones. Nobody knows if they still sell them?

10" Rainbow Trout PVC, photofinish, hinge pin and cloth
-
I print the image out on full sheet label paper, it has a sticky back but i still use a spray adhesive as well. As for hydrographic film which i believe is water transfer, There are many posts about this subject on TU. -
Pvc, hinge pin with cloth joint for tail section -
-
That is really cool! will that work without the lip? -
How does one go about getting TUshirts?
-
This is a big 8", 5oz redear,pvc,photofinish,lexan and paint brush fins it's 4 sections if you include the jointed tail
-
I just super glued the 2 halfs together with the ribbon inside, then quickly squeeze together with a vise, some sections i pinned as well. I would prefer to use the kevlar stuff like the bass pro ones, but so far i cant find a local source.
-
its polyester ribbon from a lanyard, like camera strap material. it's strong enough, but i'll have to wait and see how it holds up
-
I had to try making some baits with the new joint style, I like the way they swim, but they are very time consuming to make by hand. Heres what they look like in the pool Shad Bluegill Channel Cat
-
I found a small 8 section swimbait that uses some kind of cloth or thin webbing to connect the sections. Could this be spectra/dyneema cloth or maybe a woven kevlar? This photo is of a similar bait using the same material
-
7" pvc/photo finish rainbow trout. I'm getting bored with the photo finish method. My next project is to learn air brushing. I'm always amazed at the quality of brushed baits i see in this gallery. -
I like to let the fish decide if a bait swims well -
Would love to see some video of that craw in action -
Yes its photo finished with stick on label sheets, the body is PVC, the fin and tail are lexan.
-
This is my latest bluegill bait, 3 1/2" and 3/4 oz slow sinker
-
I dont know what kind of pvc you are using, but the expanded pvc i use holds screw eyes so well that they will bend apart long before coming out. I made a test joint that held 100 lbs without any problem.

San Diego Plastics, up to 1" thick, different colors too
-
That thing looks killer!, I wish I would have thought of that. -
great bait, those fins are some of the best looking I've seen.
