Frank , Pretty Dam Kool , I'll just stick with you making them. Mike

Hey Mel Brand name , Lucky Craft ISG (In shore Game)crank baits , They run between $15 - $18 dollars ea. Welcome To TU Mike

Hey Bob , Thanks , The salt water trebles are not as wide gap as the standard lucky craft trebles and there $1 to $2 dollars more? The bait shop here had a big sale before closing for the winter , I was able to get 25 baits @ $4.00 ea. Gives me a few more baits to paint this winter. Mike

I think the final straw here is what ever topcoat your using and feel its the one that works best for "YOU" so be it. Not everyone is a dick nite fan and/or fans of other topcoats. I like dick nite , I can't wait to get some , I'm sure there will be a few issues I have with it , for which I'll have to work with. Mike

Hey People , Just purchased a bunch of these Inshore cranks (Cheap) I see the Inshore cranks having heavier hardware then the standard lucky craft cranks , Is there any other difference In the two Cranks. Thanks Mike

To the guys Testing (DN) Thanks for all the updates , I'm out of my (DN) , Can't wait to get the new stuff. Mike

Yellow Masking Tape , No Problems

Hey everyone , Thought I'd throw This One Out There. Is there really that big of a difference in the movement and/or vibration of a bait , by using either a Round or Oval split ring ? Is there really any (Tell Tell) signs. Thanks Mike

I'm with Mark , I don't use a sealer , after I sand my baits I spray my base coat which I heat set? From there , each coat I spray is heat set. No issues with paint lifting. Mike

I'm not really getting what the others are saying , can't see tearing up a good tooth brush & using the bristles for a tail? If you could send it to me , I'll toss it around a bit & get back to you with my results , "Laughing" Nirto , All kidding aside , that's some Great Work. Mike

Hey Kris , I'm just like Ben , I don't have the "MAD" skills like many of guys here. My first brush was the HP-C Plus , which has the 3mm needle , its a Great brush. I then purchased the Hi-Line HP-AH which has the 2mm needle , I do my detail work with , as/well I have to thin my paint , due to the smaller needle. I do use the mac valve on the brush , its easy to adjust my air pressure. Like Ben said , others will chime in , that can use any brush to paint GREAT looking baits, these guys have SKILLS that I'll never have , but have given me some great tips & tricks to make me a better painter & for that , I Tip My Hat To Them. Mike

Hey Ben , I'm willing to share those rights with you? but I need some DN clear coat first , lol
