So I've almost got all the supplies to start my first swimbait. I've got my PVC trim board (crap is expensive! ), eye screws, pins, epoxy, yadda yadda yadda......
For my line tie, hook hangers, and hinges, can I just drill a pilot hole, put some epoxy in it, and screw the eye screw in, or will they pull out?
Where do you guys get the rolls of pencil lead or whatever else you use for the ballast?
What ratio do you guys use for your segments? I know the head is generally larger, but are the other sections the same size as each other?
What should I use for my pins? I've got some small steel brad nails that are the perfect size. Also, my eye screws are zinc- are they too weak or will they rust?
If you guys could help me out I'd REALLY appreciate it!!!!
