basskat Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 That's pretty awesome. Where'd you come up with the red wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Looks good Nathan. Did you dye the wire?? Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wire bender Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Very interesting and I'm also very interested in how you did it. I was planning on doing something different with a lure for next year and if this is an easy process you may have solved a problem I was expecting before it happened.

Nathan Posted November 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Buy your self some red blade dye,you can dip it or brush it on.I'm anxious to see how well it holds up..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Did you dye the hook as well? If you did, that would be much cheaper than buying red hooks. Wonder if that would work on treble hooks for crankbaits? You got me to thinking here Nathan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted November 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Yep,Just dyed them too!! Just make sure your hooks are stainless,or premasteel and they will work fine.This dye sets up in a few seconds..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lure--Prof Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Looks good! Wear one out and let us know how it holds up! Who's your blade dye source : Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlebear Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Nathan, When I seen this header for the post my first thought was this was silly but after looking at it I have change my mind.. I think you may be on to something.. the test will be if the wire blades remove the dye quickly.. but even if it does.. the red hook may hold up.. good thinking Littlebear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellure Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I like the red wire look, plus there seems to be a movement towards red hook popularity lately. I think youre on to something in other words ...can you point me in a good direction for the dye you used and maybe any updates on its durability. Thanks, Kellure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Tracker Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Is this idea based on that red is the first color in the light spectrum that dissapears underwater? Great Idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellure Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Any word on how the wire dye is holding up under use? Kellure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlystreamer Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Hey Nathan! Looking good. Like that red wire and the hook. It'll be interesting to see how will it keeps the color. Like the other guys asked. What's the secret source of the dye? Buy your self some red blade dye I don't remember seeing it anywhere. Have I just overlooked it? Nice work Nathan.

Cobra0718 Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Here is a link... I"m not sure if this is what Nathan is using. I have a friend that has done this for awhile now and he said it holds up better than the red hooks. http://www.ispikeit.com/shop/dyes.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Sorry guys...I didn't mean to ignore your questions....I'm generally up in the hardbait forum....The dye I used is Made by spike it...You can get it through Stamina...it's on one of the pages near the blades. As for how well it holds up.....The baits I've used so far are big single bladed willow leaf jobs...It seems to work well...However the real test will be how well it does with two blades,and a clevis,and beads sliding on it..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra0718 Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Hey Nathan is that head design one that you created or is one of the Pre-Done molds? I really like the head, I'm partial to the Picasso spinnerbaits and looking for something similar to theirs. Thanks, Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Cobra....Thats a Do-It mold (I think)...You can get it through Jann's or Stamina....Thats a 1oz. head shown,but they make molds down to 1/4oz in this style..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
