YakAngler81 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Does anyone know of a source with the Megabass Pop Max knock offs in stock? Also, a question on clear coating a clear lure. I'm going to order some Dick Nites and I don't have any direct experience with it. I'll just be dusting the lures with a rattle can pearl flake, not painting them. I want the baits to be pretty clear and shimmer. Will DN turn the lures clearer once applied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetickhound Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 If your lure is an opaque or transluscent body with a dull finish DN will shine 'em up but i don't know if it will make 'em significantly (if at all) clearer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicknite Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Marc David - what is the base structure? Like bluetickhound said, if it is translucent or opaque material, our Top-Coat will not change that. If it is clear, then it will stay clear and the Top-Coat will put a shiny finish over the pearl. The only time I have seen our Top-Coat make anything clearer is when the body started out clear, but it was dulled by wear. Then it fills in the tiny scratches and makes it clear again.

BobP Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 X2 what Dick says. When I paint knockoffs I dip the whole bait including the lip in DN because it fills in all those tiny scratches and makes the lip much more transparent.

mark poulson Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thanks BobP, that's what I was looking for. I don't intend on painting them. More so had the hopes that the DN would make the plastic even clearer. dicknite, they would be the blanks as pictured below. I really appreciate your response. I'll be placing an order shortly for some clear coat. Those lures work great in a bone color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaythefisherman Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 dakotalakestackle.com said he should have some similar in a few weeks, i would love some my self, as for clear coat i use automotive 2 part 4 to 1 shopline jc 60 by ppg,,,,,its awesome, you can use fast hardner or slow hardner and even spot repair it if you scratch them up on something.

mark poulson Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Marc, That's funny. I've painted a bunch of different schemes on those poppers, but the bone gets bit way more than the others. The other more successful scheme is silver Sally Hansen nail polish over the clear bait, which results in a see-thru effect when you hold it up to the light. I color both the mouth and the gill openings red on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
