braveviper Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Love the froggy! How do they swim? Are those painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbaits Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 The gills and the frogs swim great,they are painted and they smell after painting,They need to be air dried and then scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 They look very life like A+ on them. If you dipped them in some clear plastic would that help the paint smell go away like on the swimbaits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbaits Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Not sure about dipping them,have tried dipping on some other baits but did not like the results,hinders the action and makes the bait too thick,if I could get a very thin coat it might work ,not sure though,The smell goes away if they are aired and then ad some scent.

King Bait Co. Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I was thinking a real quick dip it should help the paint stay on longer to. Its just an idea I had seen on some swimbaits I had bought. They take a beating and the paint doesn't come off. They do have a very thin layer on them it also helps hold the eyes on too.

Bogbaits Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I do spray them with a special clear to seal the eyes that are also glued in,im afraid the clear dip may clog the leg webbing,I may try it,the plastic will probably have to be super hot to get it thin enough.
