Just a question? why did you use the single hook in back? adding twister tails? By the way the baits look great!
-
I did use one thinned coat under the paint so I believe I will go with 2 more thinned coats. Thanks for the input.
-
Hey guys I am in the process of finishing a few Pike/Lake Trout baits. I am wondering what the optimal number of D2T coats would be? Should I use more than 3? Or is this just overkill?
-
Great looking baits!! Great names also:lol:
-
Great Job!! Nice looking bait also!!!
-
I will give this a try for sure.
-
Thanks gentilman. I will go with epoxy from now on.

I added some weight in the bottom of a few lures. I filled the top of the holes with wood filler. I am having a problem getting the filled holes to sand flat. They always seem to leave an indention in the bait. Any suggestions?
-
Mark, About the wood filler. Fill your hole 3/4 full of news paper then use the filler to cover the top 1/4 of your hole. This way there is no need for the Zap glue.

Use a spray adhesive. I like the krylon brand. Can be found at hobby Lobby for $4 a can.

Welcome to the site. The addiction is upon you.
-
Those look great. I would also like to see the back of the bait. Is there a hook for the Twister?
-
I'd love to here how it comes out.
-
I have found that mixing on a paper plate works really well. No creases or corners to deal with.
-
I've been using finish nails.
-
Thanks for the info Bob. Thanks to you also Mark you made some very good points that will go into my next construction.
-
Hey Bob, Where do you get your malin Wire?
-
Thanks Captn' what dia do you use? Is it just the inline spinner wire?
-
I made a swim bait, and dont like the wire I used for the hinge. I used a stainless finish nail for the post, but need some ideas for the the wire. Also I have a few baits I made over the winter that I want to refinish. What is the easiest way to remove the D2t?
-
nice work!!! cant wait to see the next one. There is no known cure for this addiction.

Well how did the weekend treat all of you? I did pretty well, all 4 of my final four teams made it through. 6 of 8 elite 8 teams made it through. My fianl four teams are N. Carolina, Stanford, Kansas, UCLA. I have Kansas and Stanford in the finals with Kansas taking the title. How about you guys?

looks great the clear did the trick
-
I use the tissue paper, so I get the foil affect. the flash of the foil under the tissue is priceless. I live in trout country, and if you have ever seen a rainbow roll on a lure the flash is amazing. The foil under the tissue gives this affect, and is very realistic
-
the urethane is used in marine applications. So the water is not really a problem. It also says that it is uv protected. I guess only time will tell
-
I agree on the fading ink. I use a spar urethane that had uv protectants in it. This should work Right?
