Thanks guys!

I have been using the thin glue to seal the entire bait and the gel for protecting small detailed areas. Have any of you used the gel to seal an entire bait and if so, how well did it seal? Did it sink in deep like the liquid kind? I ask because the gel appears to be easier to work with. You can spread it easier, and it takes longer to dry.

Glad I read this before buying that paint.

I use the Devcon 30 minute epoxy. The 5 minute epoxy failed me because it is water resistant, but the other is water proof. Have not had one failure since I switched.

I use it 95% of the time. Great wood. As you said it cuts clean, doesn’t splinter or get fuzzy. The only problem I ran into is that sometime you will get some bad spots that are less dense and wood wants to crumble and the buoyancy was off balance.

I am not familiar with the clear you are using, I use Devcon which is a heavy clear and I put two coats. When I was putting one, it was not durable enough. Maybe you could try it on a junk bait.

IMO hook rash is only a problem when it comes off in chunks or the clear peels. That’s when you should rethink what you are using or how it’s being applied. I am happy when one of my baits gets rash in only one spot. are you putting one coat or two?
-
I tried those before I started making baits with little success, BUT I was not using clear like now. I may still have a few laying around, I will give it a try.

I have seen some realistic wraps placed under heavy clear coat. Anyone have any experience making these type baits? What kind of material is used for the wraps, do I have to buy it or can I print my own? I do have some vinyl printer paper, would that work?

Are they going to have a 2023 best lure contest this year?

Agreed, lead tape that golfer use is great for testing baits and modifying store bought baits.

When this happen to me with some lipped baits it was not enough weight in the front to point the lip downward.

Banana topwater walk the dog style bait made from poplar. It walk nicely, but I don’t plan on fishing it. -
That’s smaller than the Hinkle shad. Andrew’s bait is about 9” and heavy for its size. Would really like to see the action on that one. Could be a nice alternative.
