MuskyGary Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Has anyone tried foiling with reflecto or holoform tape? Seems simple enough. Cut a pattern out of paper that fits your lure; then copy the pattern onthe tape cut it out and apply tp lure. Next exospy the bait; paint top and bottom and head and exopsy again and your done. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Yeah, I guess, if you're talking about the holo tape like Witch Tape sold for spoons and blade baits. The practical problem is that it's stiff and won't conform or stick well to anything but a flat metal surface. For crankbaits, you want something thin and supple that can be smoothed out so the margins won't be obtrusive. JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 @ MuskyGary They used to sell such ready-made holoform tape cut-outs for certain biggger saltwater pirk models at the German supplier HAKUMA ihr Spezialist f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskyGary Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Thanks for the info guys. I see your point about working around the curves; I might tru the tape on flat sided baits. Just something to play with this winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 It works great on Rattle baits since they are flat sided. I like to put a light coat of white over it just to knock down the reflectiveness a little then finish with D2t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
