seabasshunter3 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I would like to find out some good websites for supplies for lure making. Things I am looking for are paints, eyes, pre-fab bodies, etc. I just got a copy of the catalog from Jann's netcraft and it is great....already found some things I want to buy but would like to find some other sites also. The lures that I want to work on and possibly make are vibration type lures (rattle trap type lures) I mainly fish these types of baits here in Japan for Japanese Sea Bass (member of the striper family). I have some that need to be re-worked because of chipping and major loss of paint do to use and abuse among the rocks..Thanks for any assistance that you all can give me on this. Hope all have a Merry Christmas..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabasshunter3 Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Also on a metal type of lure body would you need to use a primer first of some sort before painting with a water base paint? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike-A-Pike Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Over the past 5 or 6 years, I have found that I use Stamina as the primary source for in-line spinner matterials. Thier priecing is very competive and I have always got an answer to every question about thier products. Call 'em by phone and you'll find they are pretty into thier products and willing to share what they know. They also seem to always be adding something new to thier line, MHO.

Predator Bass Baits Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I like stamina as well but they usually are out of something everytime I order.( That I do not like ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yes, in my experience, you have to use some kind of a primer if you're painting metal. Which primer depends on what kind of paint you're using. I don't have any experience with painting metal lures, only metal on jobsites.

Spike-A-Pike Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Okay Mark, I want some of your coffee... How much 'turps' did you add when ground up the beans? Nurse Hatchet, I have me medication early, I have a bit of a cough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunkerPunker Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Try a self etching metal primer. Its real nasty stuff so be careful and use the proper safety equipment. It can be found at most automotive paint stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepsessions Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Also on a metal type of lure body would you need to use a primer first of some sort before painting with a water base paint? Thanks... You can get XIM's 400W in an aerosol. It works really well make sure you wipe the metal down with denatured alcohol or thinner. They also carry automotive paint. http://www.ximbonder.com/index.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
