crankpaint

i dont have any prob. with warping but most of my plugs/poppers are smaller then 7 inchs long i soak them in sealer and the wood takes what it can and i wipe off the extra when i pull them out and let it dry a few days

do you have to sell the whole lot or say 50 at a time?

I buy alot of lures from netcraft and am looking for a better price break and shipping cost as even a few bucks is money in my pocket i buy the better baits most of the time and use the cheaper baits to work up colors and just wash it off if i don;t like it and start over any help would be good thanks

you might try some powder paint? Its fast to do alot of jigs and sets up quick,just need a heat source to heat the jigs to 350 deg? dip in the powder paint and let cool..look in the wire bait fourm for more info

i use to use lead sinkers i found while diving and had a bucket of it till i put one in the melting pot that had water in it,it emptyed the whole pot(about 2 lbs) of hot lead all over the place i was lucky i was bent over getting more lead from the bucket and it went over the top of me,no more river lead gos in the melted lead!!!!

instead of mixing the paint with a mixing stick roll the bottle to mix it that will cause less air mixed into the paint,if you shake it that adds air too

gos under the name solorbaits on here

Nice fish bet it taste as good as it looked too,thanks for the videos

great catch bbm hope you do get the trip too and get an even bigger fish!!!

as i see it its a money bait where legal to catch alot of fish (bass) fast(the more fish the faster the weight in the livewell gos up) using one for anything bigger then about 6lbs the fish will tear it apart or rip off fighting each other then you both lose as you lose fish and the fish may die from ripping off the hooks or breaking your line with the rig attached),the rig has been around a long time umbrella rigs are used to fish in the ocean alot for everything from tuna to striped bass but the rigs used there only use one bait with a hook in it the rest are teasers to get the fish interested in the bait with the hook becouse you would have no chance with more then one fish of there size(think of two or more 40 lb tuna on one rig????)so use is up to the user 1 hook or 5 what more fun to you???

not so useless if the other two arms had willow leaf blades on them ?it would be like pulling two spinnerbaits?

if you have a computer you should be able to just post pics from it if you have them not sure on the pbucket?

Heres a green craw pattern thats really easy and can be done with other colors as well white base coat dirty orange(red,10 drops yellow 6 drops and a few drops of black just to tint) cut grass green black after the base coats dry spray dirty orange all but the front of the belly,before drying blot with slight damp rag to take away some paint but not too much,dry with heat gun or blow dryer. spray green lightly over bait it will turn the bait a molten green dry with heat gun /blow dryer lay stencle on side of bait hit with black for the body segments then lightly along edges of segments, dry as above turn bait on it back so you can see the white belly you left in the begining with a peice of paper/plastic spray lines letting the black fade as you work down the belly from one line to the next so it looks like the belly/tail of a crawdadwith the white showing thru

you might try looking up kits on line theres a few i've found most are for bigger fish thou
