how much lead is from the connection link to exposed hook shank? That's what I'm worried about...the hook becoming loose moving side to side. You may be right though, hard lead might fix that issue. Hopefully there will be a hook available soon to the public where no link will have to be used...sizes 4 through 1/0. Anything higher, might as well just use something else.
Not sure how durable they are if you hook up on a hawg though. The weak link would be within the lead where the insert and the hook is at. Anyone bought and tested those yet?
Lowe's got a replacement call Pro Thinner by Crown. They said it's a replacement for MEK, Toluene, and Xylene. I didn't want to risk using it to thin the KBS, so I decided not to buy it.
To the guys that are using KBS clear. Are you guys using Xylene/Xylol, or KBS Thinner? And what is the process to thin the KBS clear if it's stored in a mason jar?
TIA!
The Rustoleum clear reacts to plastic softbaits. I placed a senko next to a bait I had used the rustoleum on and later saw that the clear on the hardbait had bubbled where the senko was on.
Thanks. I just got a quart of KBS Diamond in yesterday and was hesitant to try it before reading up more about it on TU. Btw, do you guys just open the lid, dip and hang the lure, and then place the lid back onto the KBS container?
Thanks guys. I'm planning on using it for light setups. 8-10# mono/fc line and/or 30# braid. Rod will be a dobyns 702sf or 703sf.
Just want to make sure they'll fit before I purchase the mold and hooks. Also, if you guys have any other hooks you guys would recommend, please do share.
I'm looking to purchase a darter jig mold and was wondering if anyone has tried the Matzuo Sickle Jig Hook model 9014 for it? Will the 4/0 hook size fit the darter jig mold by do-it? And how does the hook hold up...does it straighten, etc.?
Thanks.
