CRANKBAIT

I believe one of the changes is a timer on our computers pin number asking us to sign-up or log-in. Why not just have a auto log-in for members using the pin number? Great Job, Dave

crankbait design printed on paper. I still put it on furnance foil. It makes the paper more durable and seems to stretch a bit to form to crankbait. TU Homepage - Luremakers Photo Gallery - crankbait

This appears to be simply a conflict of teaching and learning styles. Good intentions may come across as rude and abrasive to some. Some folks learn from seeing pictures, or trial and error, while others need a step by step recipe. When you cannot see the body language the door of misunderstanding is left open. We should be able to ask any dumb lure question we want and have it answered in a kind and thoughtful manner. The teacher is held to a higher standard of responsibility. You guys are great! Keep up the good work.

Put the color wheel you submitted into photoshop and mixed with ratio indicated on the top of chart. I may be going done a blind alley. I am going to try some recipes that have been submitted and see how close we are. *see attachment TU color wheel sample.pdf TU color wheel sample.pdf TU color wheel sample.pdf

Next Idea Mixing Createx Colors: Photoshop * see attachment for color card 1. Took samplings from createx color chart. Note numbers down the left side correspond with createx colors. 2. Decided that 25% opacity would equal 1 drop of createx. 3. Loaded yellow pallet with 100% yellow 4. Used multiply to fill pallet with 25%-100% blue. Numbers across the top indicate the percentage/drops of blue. Could it be this simple or ??? Anyone care to test the chart to see if we are close? color card - createx.pdf color card - createx.pdf color card - createx.pdf color card - createx.pdf color card - createx.pdf color card - createx.pdf color card - createx.pdf color card - createx.pdf color card - createx.pdf

Math Guys, Is there a mathematical connection between the blocks of color.(maybe??? Example: ? drops of yellow + ? drops of blue = ? green) or is this a trial and error problem? * see attachment for blocks of color color card.pdf color card.pdf color card.pdf color card.pdf color card.pdf color card.pdf color card.pdf color card.pdf color card.pdf

This product works well with keeping food fresh. Might work for this idea as well. Pump-n-seal: http://www.pump-n-seal.com/

Cutting lip slots : While experimenting with the scroll saw, I noticed that a blade that I very seldom use was half the thickness of the lexan lip. I have a Dewalt scroll saw and it has an allen screw adjustment to control the blade insert opening. (Your probably 10 steps ahead) Put 2 two blades side by side in this opening. When you cut the lip slot in the body of the crankbait, perfect slot every time. Caution: This may not be an original idea. I am new at this and never know if the problem has been addressed this way.

If the lack of air in the paint container helps to extend the life of the paint then this could be a possible solution. empty baby food jar? Pump-n-seal? http://www.pump-n-seal.com/

I our part of the country they use discarded bath tubs as stock tanks. Why wouldn't the bath tub work for a test tank. I can hardly wait for your comments on the bath tub idea.

I am wondering how many of you use Photoshop? Will Photoshop replace my airbrushes? I have free Photoshop crankbait scales if anyone is interested.

I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. Jetulong works great for me. You might want to look at a web site I created for fun. Pictorial documentation using jetulog. I get jetulong in a wood specialty store in portland oregon. Good Luck http://www.davdar.mysite.com/photo.html

This has potential for the next game show. I can see Vanna White holding up a lure to be guessed. Contestants sitting above a dunk tank full of bass. Our wives with a basket full of baseballs poised to throw at the target with each wrong answer.

Three piece thru-wire construction. This process allows for weighted belly hooks, hollow cavity BB rattles, weighted tail hooks. I am just starting so there is a good chance that this is old information. Thanks for all the help TU Crankbait http://www.davdar.mysite.com

I am not sure if I have re-created the wheel. I use a three piece construction on thru-wire crankbait. It sure helps to solve problems with lip placement, hollow cavity rattles, ect. Thanks TU Crankbait http://www.davdar.mysite.comhttp://www.davdar.mysite.com
