[Props for PVC]

Where can I get the DVD?

Tony P

look in his website: www.johnscrankbait.com

it's in the top of the bait gallery

[Props for PVC]

yea, that stuff is great. carves pretty good. i got his dvd on making baits with the pvc and they swim good. saved me a bunch of time. i did some sinking ones that turned out cool.

[deformed paddletails]

came up with a solution to keep my paddletail baits from getting deformed when they are stored in the tacklebox. insert a piece of wire into the tail that will keep it rigid while stored and then just pull it out when using, think swimbait colonoscopy:D

[I mean Balsa Foam]

i wonder about the holding ability as for screw eyes and hook hangers. also, pretty spendy @ $18-$20 / bf.

[airbrush or hand painting?]

i've read a lot of the posts on using an airbrush but how many of you paint the old fashioned way with a paintbrush?

[first painted swimbait]

pretty cool! did you carve the lure?

[new guy hooked]

wow! is there a lot of information here!

i decided to jump into trying to carve my own baits and i am amazed at how much information i have found on this site. i have done my own jigs, spinnerbaits, etc. and am going to try my hand at carving now. this site will definetly be my second home:).

[Walmart quit selling D2T?]

i've found Devcon at places other than Walmart. higher priced though but at least i can still get it easily.
