Strip is 1/32" wide, 32" long and Hedron, Inc. is not out of business. There are only 10 colors now. They will add more later. Thanks for all the help. This is the same product as Magnum Holographic Flashabou, but a much longer hank. 20" he's 32" (81cm).

Bill,
I don't use wire thru for Musky Lures. There are mixed feelings about wire-thru, by many people. I think I will stick to epoxy for 0.92 as screw eyes. I have not had a problem yet.
Thanks,

I am trying to make a worm from different bits and pieces of other worms. I have pieced one together, it was a finesse worm with a round head and a ribbed body with a paddle tail 4.5 " long. I am still a newbie at mold and soft worms. When I made the molds, I had lots of trouble trying to make one. I tried P.O.P.& Alumilite III, along with a Smooth-On product Oomoo-30. The P.O.P. had a flat bottom, and the head was not round. The detail was terrible. I am trying to make a one piece mold. I have checked the mold manufacturers sites and they don't have one. I can't afford an expensive mold. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tom Megna.
I make 6" and 8" musky lures out of jelutong. I am looking for a walleye paint pattern. I also need Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, and it also would be nice to have a Bluegill recipe. I make these baits for Lake St Clair, Michigan. I have tried to use taxidermy fish paint schedules, but they did not work. Thanks in advance, Captain Tom.
I used heavy nails with heads cut off. Then I epoxied the nails into the board. The nails still bent off. Them problem is I used 0.060 wire, same as bucktails I make. Here I used a Hagen's Wire Former. It doesn't seem to work for a Musky Lure Wire. Thanks for the help. TIGHT LINES Captain Tom Megna.
I have worked with powder paints and the best technical support was from a gentleman named Mike in tech support at Component Systems. They manufacture more powder paint than anybody. Hope this helps. Capt. Tom Megna
