Mr.t

Bagley usally have painted eyes this bait has small 3d eyes with no recess for the eye

Customer brought this bait to me wanting another one like it, it's similar to a shad rap style, looks like wood, no writing on body or bill, thanks for any help

Yep I live in dickson,tn, I fish mainly the Cumberland river and Kentucky lake, south of the Paris landing area, it was an awesome place to fish until the asian carp.

Just made a small order of some down looking eyes and a few jerkbait blanks and a couple lipless, got 10% off for subscribing to recieve emails for the first order. I'll try to let everyone know what I think about the quality of the blanks!

Just ran across a site that has ko of rapala dt 20 backwateroutfitting.com and the duo g87 from shelts is definitely a deep diver , you'll look like popeye after cranking those suckers all day!!! But as far as 30+ I saw a blank on ebay that looked to be a real deep diver, hope that helps!

Just ran across a new to me blank supplier, I know nothing about the quality, but looked through their site and they've definitely got some stuff I haven't seen before. The website is backwateroutfitting.com they also carry other supplies as well!

Congratulations everyone!!!

The link to Amazon is showing 4mm I believe that is about the same size as 1/8 of an inch hole in the mesh that's gonna be bigger than what your looking for I think a mm is .039 inches so you probably need like a 2mm mesh fabric

Ok thanks river otter!!! I really appreciate the help!!!! And sorry Wayne I didnt mean to make this topic mine, I just needed info too, so I hope this helps you as well!

I've never tried it but spaz stix make a no shine matte finish clear coat, I think its intended for rc cars, maybe worth trying!

Oh ok!!! Since I didnt do that do you think I could spray it with createx clear gloss top coat then dip in kbs to prevent it from bleeding, this is the bait , I dont want the red to bleed over the gold.

Thanks, so I dont have to mix it with anything first? So I can spray the 4030 over the candy and it's good?

I just got some and watched a video of a guy shooting candy2o and he mixed his with 4030 balancing clear, I didn't do that I sprayed mine straight from the bottle. That may be a no no but I did it! It's very thin from the bottle, it is a dye more or less and has a very dark appearance, you'll have to spray light coats to get desired color, the more you spray the darker it becomes and dont get your airbrush to close or spray to heavy in one spot or you'll blow it around and get flood lines. I touched my bait after a few days and the red was on my finger, slightly but it come off, I usually heat set but these I didnt. Now I'm worried if I dip the baits in kbs that it might bleed red over other colors on the bait, maybe that's what the 4030 helps I dont know. I really liked the flow and the color, I sprayed it over a pearl white and you could still see the pearl under the red. I know this probably ain't much help but I hope others with more experience can help us both out!

Alot of the permanent pens and markers will run and bleed when cleared coated, if your set on doing it by hand, I'd try paint markers. But I agree with the comments above, watch YouTube vids and practice with an air brush.
