RiverMan Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Try "T" ing your hooks to keep the points away from the clearcoat. RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Dicknite lure coat is the way to go in my book, big difference. I have not tried any of the other clears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameso321 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) These things happen when you actually fish these lures and not mount them in a framed box on your living room wall. I will be working with DN Lure coat this year though; looking forward to it. Edited March 29, 2009 by jameso321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 some type of baits I dont care what type of clear will rash. Rattle trap style baits will hook rash easy and t-hooking helps but its not a cure all, Ive tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR KNOW IT ALL KIND OF Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 One of the biggest problems with DT2 is Hook rash..however if your sold on it.. you could always fix your rash with more DT2.. But their will come a point when you cant put anymore clearcoat on the bait. I would suggest DN or any moisture cure clearcoat.... just make sure you really heat set your baits or you will experience wrinkles in the paint.

Tonkabass Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 You can go 1 step further after you T your trebles-- bend the 2 hook tines (the 2 on top of the T)AWAY from the lure so they have a very hard time making contact with the topcoat.

Muskiefool Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hook rash means I'm using the bait, if I'm using it that means it catches fish, if it catches fish that means I have confidence in the bait and I use it more so it gets more hook rash. Hook rash is good for me but toss a T at the hooks it works too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjbass Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Muskiefool is right....I have posted this before, but for what it's worth, we "T" all our hooks, and use at least three coats of either devcon, etex or new lutstre 55 and trolling 5 to 7 MPH with big baits with big sharp hooks....guess what??? You are going to get hook rash that is a fact..... Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesandbaits Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I usually mix Desitin in with my clearcoat to prevent this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
