bass100 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 There is a good chance that they are using proprietary product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverotter Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 i wonder if its some type of shrink wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I seriously doubt it being shrink wrap. Shrink wrap would not bond with the paint, unless there's a type of shrink wrap designed for this purpose, and would be subject to peeling off when it became scuffed or scratched when hitting things like rocks, gravel, stumps, etc. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverotter Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I guess I ment shrink tubing of some sort. like what we used to use on arrow rest to quieten them down. it was pretty tough stuff. not sure it would work on this application tho. I sure would like to find out what they use tho lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonister Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Ask them! They probably won't tell you but it is worth a try. I asked them if I could buy some in painted lures for my own use. They said no, but it is always worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemmy Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Rapala used to use propionate. I'm not sure if this is the current case however.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
