SlowFISH Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Sorry if this has been covered.... but I didn't see any specifics.... When dipping crankbaits in DN are you dipping the entire lure including the entire lip? I have a few DT knockoffs that have a pretty long lip, and just wondering if I should just dip far enough to cover the painted body and joint between the body lip or submerge the whole thing? Also.... on smaller cranks, I'd assume to dip the whole bait? Thanks guys.... J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I usually dip to cover the nose of the bait. If you are dipping a repaint with a scuffed lip, dipping the lip too makes it transparent again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to polish out the lips as much as possible, so using the DN to cover that small area that is tough to get to will help as well!!! J.
