  1. has anyone tried Minwax Wood Hardener for their balsa projects? http://www.minwax.com/wood-products/maintenance-repair/minwax-high-performance-wood-hardener?WT.srch=1&gclid=CNiukqvk9LMCFQtxQgodch8ACQ
  2. this contour guage is a great tool for duplicating. and it costs less than $10.00
  3. wow i think you really hit on what i am trying to accomplish. more of the way a slammer would act but i don't really want to do the cylinder type bait. i have started on my shape and will post a pic soon. Coincidental, the slammer is made in the same town that i live in. But i have never met the man who makes them, Alot of big bass are caught on those baits at Santa Margarita Lake where i mostly fish, I just have not tryed one myself, And I thank everyone for the input , this is my first try at making a lure (except for pouring saltwater jigs) so i hope i have the knaack for it.
  4. well the roll is what i am afraid of. i want to have a wake\walkable surface lure.
  5. well not like a wedge, but more of a gradual taper. like looking at the edge of a tea spoon with the handle down if that makes any since. it's the only way i can think to explain it.
  6. Thanks for the info, it makes since being wider on top and tapered towards the bottom. I was thinking for wake baits the bottom being wider to make it sit up higher, but that might be hard to make it stay upright without rolling to the side if not perfectly balanced.
  7. curious on whether a wakebait and\or swimbait needs to be tapered, wider on top, to thinner on bottom or thinner on top to wider on bottom?
