    Well... I suck. I am using a $15 cheapo gravity fed airbrush I got on Amazon. I do pretty well with it and plan to get a better one soon. Most likely a Neo and then eventually an Eclipse.

    Another side note: Many of us may or hope to sell lures to help or make a living. Yet here we are, all potential "competitors" working together on this and other issues to try and solve problems and questions. Well done, my friends, well done.

    lol I lose baits before wear becomes an issue....

    On a quick side note. I found oval sewing circles at Michael's and love them...

    Looks cool!

    I thought about something like this. I had some copper mesh but I was worried it would scratch up the finish....Good call!
  9. Mad Moose Baits
    O-H (sorry...had to)
  10. Mad Moose Baits
    OK I will throw my theory in: Dark under coat Meshed and then sprayed white from the front of the bait colors sprayed from back of bait
  11. Mad Moose Baits
    My base coat is white acrylic craft paint thinned down with water. It gets heat set, another coat and that is heat set too. Every time I spray a new coat I heat set it. I have had no wrinkles.

    It does help. There is a little build up but not much.
  13. Mad Moose Baits
    Sorry guys I think my last post is confusing. I dip them, lip and all Hang them by the line tie Then I hang a small wire from the back hook hanger to draw away the excess. Hope that helps.
  14. Mad Moose Baits
    It goes on thin . I dip mine, bill and all and then hang with a small wire hung on the back hook hanger to drain the drips.

    Would like to hear from the guys who make the bigger inlines with two blades.... Which do you prefer and why?
  16. Mad Moose Baits
    The nice thing about that fake hair is that (I am assuming) it is made in that color, not dyed. I have some too....

    After we experimented and many of us concluded that this stuff is great but it needs a while to cure I got to thinking. I purchased a food dehydrator at the local Goodwill store for 6 bucks. I took all but one tray and cut out the grids in the center. I hang the baits in this once they are done dripping and it seems to help. Oh and since I don't use a turner I hang a small piece of wire off the back hook hanger. The sealer runs down the bait and instead of making a blob at the end most of it continues down the wire and drips off. Now I am going fishing....

    LOL don't be a hater!

    I have the tool. I know I couldn't match what you did so I am ok with that. However, I wish I COULD have made the tool! Great post, Ed!

    and in 15 years some guy will remember me and my starting this thread and sue me....ugh lol
  21. Mad Moose Baits
    oh that's right! Gives me a reason to go to HL or Michael's I need more beads any way.
  22. Mad Moose Baits
    Another note on the GST: I use vinyl dots for my dshad baits and cut them in half for my bluegill ears. Well GST doesn't like them. It makes the edges curl. So I peeled the ears off a gill and drew ears on using a sharpie. There may have been a tiny bit of running but it seems to have held up. Guess this is another thing to experiment on!

    So as a side note I made a double french blade spinner with a silicone skirt the other day. First cast I caught a personal best river smallmouth and 11 more nice ones after that. I'm sold!
  24. Mad Moose Baits
    Bill, in my limited experience I have always found it smart to use a small silver bead (2-3mm) or two to space the clevis and Colorado blade from the main beads or body. I also try to make sure the blade doesn't extend past the body. When that happens I get the blade stuck against the body more often.

    For single treble inline spinners for northerns and musky, is .041" too light? The reason I ask is that I have the Twistech wire former and it can handle up to .041" with an adapter. I have .051" but making the loops and twisting by hand is a pain and they just don't have that "finished" look I want. Thanks in advance Moose
