Made some more baits. Didn't exactly like my joints on the first few. I'm sure they will still work but it was t exactly what I was looking for. So I made up some new ones to try!
-
I'd like to see a video of it. I would be interested in one possibly

That's pretty slick right there. Nice work
-
Haha for real. It's a 2x slammer that has a different style joint and usually dives better than it wakes. Yes the bait does have a great reputation but for as simple as the bait is the price tag is a little steep usually. Without doubt it is a great bait and pat definitely knows what he's doing. But he only sells to a select few people who then distribute them to whom they choose and for what price that choose.

I know it's hard to believe but the 3 that I've found that people wanted to let go that's what they were asking. There's a pats snake up on swimbait underground and there is no set price just says "pm offers" so it will go to whoever wants to pay the most.

This year is my first year that i only fished Swimbaits, id love a pats bait but cant bring myself to afford the $300+ price tag one gets. If you can get one from pat he sells them for $75. I'm quite fed up with a bait I've had in my hands that i know i can make on my own. So that's what I've started to do. I have about what 2 pats would go for into what i needed for tools that I didn't already have. Now if we were talking about 3:16 baits those are some high quality baits right there and Mickey knows how to make some incredible stuff.

That's a killer perch pattern. I'm looking to do a perch pattern on some Swimbait's I'm making. Hope it comes out half as good as yours. -
Yeah they are gan craft tails. TW has limited colors ive been getting mine off eBay

Did some harder searching on google and you tube and found that some salt water plug builders use a mixture of spar urethane and mineral spirits like jordanlures suggested as well. Seems like a lot of guys use this method.

The band saw is a great tool to have.
-
I just make sure to keep my fingers on the square sections and go very slow and do not rush my cuts. The joints I take a few passes on each so I don't go to deeper than I need to.
-
Yes leave the ends square on each end of your turning then set your desired angle on the table saw. It's easier if you have a locking fence on the saw. I try not to cut the joints completely through before I drill holes for eyes. Once I get the joint cut close I finish it up on the band saw.

Haha I've been reading some posts on here and you know exactly what I did man!

Hey guys I'm new here and I have been turning some baits on my lathe that are of the slammer/pats/ tsunami style and I'm just curious what my best options are for sealers that I can paint over? I've read about sanding sealer but I'm not sure if that's my best route to go. Any and all info is appreciated. If this question has already been asked please point me in the proper direction. Thanks derek
