spoonpluggergino Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I have been building balsa baits and using Propionate first coat very thin and dipped for 4 hours in order to strengthen the balsa wood, due to these baits are made for musky fishing. I have ben happy with the results, but wondering if Aero Gloss would make the balsa a little stronger . As anyone here used this product? Just wondering, always looking for something better spoonpluggergino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Man, you are brave to let a fish with those teeth anywhere near a balsa bait. I've never seen one in person, but I've had the saltwater version, barracudas, put big scratches in steel jigs. I don't even try to handle them without a net, a towel, gloves, and a club!

mark poulson Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Have you considered using AZEK PVC decking to build your lures? It is buoyant and strong, totally waterproof, and hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
