Super glue has always ruined the coloring for me... I just stick them on and clear coat over top. Speaking about lead and hard body cranks/topwaters etc..
Thank You... Yes, I made some 5+ inch blade baits, But I could not get them to swim right. Too much length and mass to "wag" Kind of like having fletching's on an arrow... Keeps the arrow going strait.
The "standard" sizes are all over the place, Just like hooks, split rings, and snaps... There's not a good size standard to go by. Your best bet is length and lb capacity.
