  1. I just took a huge wiff of one, 29 hours later and I don't smell anything.
  2. I've only had the stuff for a little more that 24 hours. I've dipped six lures in it. I took two out tonight after a 24 hour cure. Not one single mark on the lures after two hours of fishing. On a scale of one to ten I'd give it a 9.5. Super easy to dip, crystal clear thin finish and hard as nails. I think one dip may be enough, it's like dipping in water, which was kind of strange. So far so good!
  3. The bottom of the lure says 'scatter rap 05'
  4. I painted up a couple more, I certainly think I did not allow enough dry time on the first one. On the second I applied some glitter with solarez. It turned out really good. I also tried dipping the bill to see if it would clear it up, it seems really nice, however I will fish it in a couple days and see how it holds up. I've always hated how the knock off bills were cloudy!
  5. It was in about 2" of water on the edge. The line tie looks good to me, I think the lure just isn't very well designed. It hunts if a jerk the rod tip, but a lot of lures hunt if I do that!
  6. Trying another, I just use a hair dryer and may have been too anxious!
  7. It only wrinkled on the top and bottom, the sides look great.
  8. Ok, I was excited to try it. So I painted a ok with some createx, nothing fancy just quick. My paint wrinkled up, not a ton but a little. I've experienced this with other topcoats as well so I'm not saying I won't use it. Here's a couple pics.
  9. I just picked some up at menards. It was on sale for 25$ so that's a plus. Not sure if that's a national thing or not.
  10. I happened to find one of these a couple days ago snagged in a log! I tried it for a bit and was not at all impressed with its performance. I had to reel it super slow just to look like a normal crankbait. Regular speed it just blew out constantly. It did seem to work well as a jerkbait when it was twitched. The lip actually has a ridge on it, but the ridge is on the underside of the lip, so I don't see how that would effect the action. As far as the curve goes it is curved both from side to side, and front to back if that makes any sense!
  11. Looks like you got some good lures my friend, congrats!
  12. I buy the ss .041 wire from harbor freight. But lowes has wire that I think will work just fine. Jr Jopkins uses it on his swim baits for what that's worth. It comes in a yellow package, and is located in the hardware section. It's right next to the green wire they use to tie up flowers. I believe 19 gauge is probably the best for small crank.

  13. A few years ago I bought a heavy metal based thing with two alligator clamps to hold my lures. I bought it at harbor freight, but I need to know what it's called. Someone posted it about a month ago but I forgot! Thanks
  14. That may just be the STUPIDEST question ever!!!! Lol;)
  15. I apply top coat, then stick a toothpick into the hangers while they are still wet.
  16. I don't see it on white, just black colors! I just painted this one, dipped one time!
  17. Sewing hoop and mosquito net.
  18. It depends what type scales that you prefer, I like this kind! And I can get this look with the mosquito net.
  19. Ok, I have been using the Thule from hobby lobby. But I bought the mosquito mesh at Walmart and that works a million times better!
  20. I applied a coat of solarez over the photo. I think it may have been one of two things. Either the solarez reacts with the printer ink. Or I didn't allow the spay blue to dry long enough before applying the solarez!
  21. This blue gill one has not been in the water! I initially thought it was catfish blood but its not!
