jwfflipper Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) does it really add wieght to the bait to where it really effects the action? I have seen a lot of posts asking this I don't think it hurts one way or the other. If you are building a bait from scratch, do you really know what the the bait is going to do or how it will dive if you don't understand hydrodynamics anyway? Just asking.

gekhang Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 i use poly urethane and it goes on really thin and so i would normally dip the whole lure once and just the lure body afterwards. have not had any ill effects to my lures. dont know how heavy dev 2 ton or some epoxy would affect it though.

BobP Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I think any little thing you do to a bait will change it some way but as a general premiss, no, I don't think a single coat of urethane on a lip will significantly change the performace of most crankbaits.

bbf Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Not until it starts to release from the lip! LOL! Its happened to me. I noticed the bait didnt have the same thump and looked at the line and it was running crooked. Upon inspection I seen the mcu had raised up and causing the bait to run crazy. So now if using mcu I only coat far enough to cover the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
