If it’s a glide you need to distribute the weight evenly across the belly. You don’t want it to sink to fast. I got glue weight until I get the desired amount, then put them in the bait.

Multiple coats and dry in between. -
I pulled some winter baits I haven’t used in a while and the clear is bubbling on the wooden ones only. I use Devcon and the wood was sealed with superglue. what causes this? can it be prevented? if I repaint and seal these will it happen again? these had foil, but the clear bubbled on the unfoiled portion. Could it be that I didn’t use primer?

Instead of redesigning a new bait, I took an older bait, and tried to make it into a lipless, but for some reason I had to put the line tie way up on the top of the bait, much farther than it should be to get the desired action. I placed all of my weight into the nose of the bait because that’s where I thought it should be. Where do you place your lead on a lip? Is it the nose or is the belly or do you distribute it evenly?

I have a pile of lips that didn’t work and will sometimes go back and use them for new baits. I just guess and experiment a lot.

Those are some cool patterns. You got to make a post on how you did those.

When I use lexan I make a wide triangular slot so it can move back and forth. I mainly use them for wake baits. I have used them for lipped divers too. But most of the time I use a silicone tails, give better action, especially for lipless jointed baits

I like natural colors unless it’s a shad, then I want as shiny as possible. Have you experimented with foil?

Yohan Customs and Melosh Fishing Lures make those for competitions. You can find them on Instagram. They might be able to help you.

Lately I have been mixing it up and so far it appears to be working. I apply superglue to drill holes and joint cut outs because it penetrates so well, then coat the rest in polyurethane.

Thanks. Half airbrush, half hand paint. -
It was something he always used and I was in your situation with white not being available.
