I bought my Pledge at Lowe's, they had scented and un scented.

Great piece of work. Watched your painting video of it on YouTube. Are you going to make a video on creating this bait. -
Great paint scheme, would like see it in the "hard bait cookbook". -
I have one of those hidden in the dark abyss I call a basement. Can't remember if if worked or not.
-
Great looking bait. Do you make your tails? -
Looks good. Like the black, green and red ones the best.

Here's a YouTube video (bait co. ad) of a 3 pc. soft bait glider. They give a good explanation of design and rigging of the hooks that release from the bait. Thought it might give everyone some ideas to try on hard baits.

Thx to everyone, appreciate everybody's input. This is a great forum.

Here's part 2.

Watched a 2 part video on YouTube by Maciej Dukacz. Probably a little more technical than some people would want to try, but they do turn out great.

Most articles I've read on the internet about fish and colors say most baits are painted for the fishermen and not the fish. As said above, most are reactive strikes and not because the fish says "that looks yummy". "Build, paint and cast"

What's everyone's favorite metal and size for making through wire crankbaits, bass>musky. I've read that some use SS, brass and some kind of welding wire?

Just watched a YouTube video from Barry Weaver on making a lure dryer using a motor from an old microwave turntable.

Great post. I use these sanding blocks I bought at a woodworking store. They work good for me. http://m.woodcraft.com/aHR0cDovL3d3dy53b29kY3JhZnQuY29tL1Byb2R1Y3QvMTQ1OTU4L0NvbXBsZXRlLVNhbmRpbmctUGFkLVNldC00LXBpZWNlLmFzcHg%3D

Yes, I do both, hang or rotate.
-
I use that also, but I was referring to CS Seal Coat Lure & Jug Finish. http://www.csipaint.com/products/liquid-coatings/epoxy-top-coat-lure-jig-paint.php

My BIL bought a airbrush for $20 at Harbor Freight. He said it works as good as the one he paid a $100 bucks for.
-
Do you brush or airbrush the CS Lure & Jig Finish onto your lures. Airbrushing does a great job, looks good and just hanging the lures is ok.
-
A flush trim sanding drum works well and a lot safer than using a router on 2-3" cranks. Just make a simple jig that has your crankbait profile glued on it. http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/robo-sanderflushtrimsandingdrum2diameter.aspx
