Thad Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Maybe a dumb question but I can't seem to put my head around it. I haven't tried using a dipping blade yet but how do you get the lure off the blade after you have finished the bait? Seems like the whole bait would rip when trying to pull out the big tail part.

nova Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) All you have to do is spray a little Pam or similar product on the blade and spread it around with your fingers. This will allow the bait to slide off easily. Oh, by the way, there are no dumb questions; only dumb answers. If you don't know or don't understand; just ask. www.novalures.com Edited April 2, 2011 by nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 back when i was using a bunch of homemade dipping blades for 4-7" swim baits i would take scotch brite pads and smooth the edges of the blade that way i didnt need any lubricant to get the baits off the blade. just be sure when you are dipping them you dont get a build up on one side versus the other or you will end up with a bunch of baits that roll instead of swimming true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHodgie Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) I am wanting to start dipping my own swimbaits and was curious what plastic does everyone like? not so much the brand but how soft? will lurecraft 502 be good? or are you guys using super soft plastic for these things? i want to get a order of plastic coming and i hate getting stuff that doesnt work right. thanks Edited April 5, 2011 by JHodgie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHodgie Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 another question would be if anyone is using different blade shapes? or if anyone has tried using deep cup colorados? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Prager Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Go to thrift shop and buy some butter knives or silmilar. You can use Colorado spinnerbait blades for the paddle tail. I think there might be a tutorial somewhere here. Use the search engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
