Smallie Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Very Nice! What kind of paint do you use? How long do you let it dry before final dip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yes, nice work for sure. I asked about the scale pattern and how you did it before...got no answer. I know you do this for a living and want to show your work...and I don't want to come off sounding rude. This site is great for sharing info, why post such great pictures and not help out ?

Kamakazee Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Mike, would you rather I not post my work? If this was just a hobby for me, as it started out I'd have no problem answering all questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB GONE Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 This site is great for sharing info, why post such great pictures and not help out ? Even though I don't have a horse in this race, it would be interesting to hear about the paints used. I know you guys can't give out all your "trade secret" info but Mike is right, TU is for sharing info..... I choose not to use paints on mine...

GB GONE Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Consider this, my last post on TU! OK, I'll ask....... Why??????? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Too bad, although you might as well have been trying to sell your stuff on this forum anyways. All I saw you giving up for info was your phone # so everyone could order your baits....call me a hard liner at times, but Jim is right, thats not what this site is for.

GB GONE Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 There are things I am reluctant to give up as well (not many as you all know) but giving up trade secrets or whatever you call them and sharing info are 2 different things. It would be interesting to hear from a person that has a successful bait company that does hand pouring and injection baits. You have achieved what many would like to do but many others just want to just get simple ideas to build off. Call me a hard liner 2 but if you aren't going to post, are you going to stop coming to the forum for ideas as well?? Just curious as I thought the concept here @ TU is help and ye shall be helped...

Richard Prager Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I really don't understand what the big secret is about, with copying someone else's bait. NOBODY posted any pics (because there weren't any baits made) until Delw posted step by step instructions, with pics on how to make these tube swimmers. It's a shame because he does nice work and could have alot to offer. Oh well, it's his ball, I suppose he can go home if he chooses so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 There's really a fine line between sharing secrets and sharing information. I can certainly understand both sides here. There have been many points that I have been reluctant in sharing in the past. However, this site is about just that.......sharing. Kamakazee......we hate to see you go. Obviously, you are very talented and seem to be a cool fellow. I'm just thinking this entire thing could have been avoided had you told Mike (via PM, not on the public boards) that you'd rather not share that information. I think most guys would understand. Heck, I used to get questions all the time followed with "I understand if you don't want to give out any secrets". Bottom line is the PM is a very powerful thing! Use it........even if there's a chance of disappointing the member. At least that person will know where you stand. I only say this because of the mistakes I've made in the past. My 2 cents. Sorta like Jim said......"es todo para mi"! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 WOW! His baits, and how this turned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 That's too bad. I hate to see anyone leave a worthwhile club like this. I don't think that any of us would be at the level we are at without this club and the "sharing" nature of it's members. I agree that we all have things that we won't share( recipies; certain ways of doing things, etc.); and that's just fine and well understood. Everything evolves in small ways and maybe this is just one of those times. I think there is something to be said though looking at the number of posts that he has made in 4 years. He does do good work though. www.novalures.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Al, I did pm him well before this thread started. He chose to ignore it like a few select others I have asked for little tidbits of help before. At least have the courtesy to answer a pm either way. Oh well, if I figure it out I'll let you's know. Dipping these damm things is a pile of work, more so than tubes...oh well, sorry if I raised the dust a bit too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Al, I did pm him well before this thread started. . Yeah Mike.......I know. I may have worded my last post wrong. What I meant was he should have told you via PM where he stood on that. At least answer your PM. Just My Peace Out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
