tompowers535 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I want to order glitter from Spike It. They have square cut, diagonal cut and string cut. Does anyone have a preference ? The fish probably won't care. Does one show up better than the other ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 So many uses, so many looks, no preference here though I like the larger flakes for most baits I use. Usually mix with the exception of small baits and skirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archery1 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Usually smaller baits get smaller glitter.. User preference also.That's why it's a custom bait. Make somethin that nobody else has and the rewards are huge!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I like the square cut for my .035 flake. Anything smaller and I don't really care what shape it is as long as it isn't string cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompowers535 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Thank you, guys. I'll just order the largest cut just not string cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Some people like the string cut, but it's just not appealing to my eye and since I make baits mostly for myself that matters hah. I think you'll be happy with either the square or hex cut flake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammingjack Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 IMHO I don't Use square, it can roll up once it's heated. Hex cut just doesn't do it as bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I use hexagon cut from spike it & i like it. Sometimes i buy the cheap small glitter ( especially gold) at walmart & add it last & microwave for an additional 10 seconds, stir & inject. They say not to microwave, but added last it hasn't been any problem whatsoever for me. It gives a really nice, but different almost sand coated look when added with the .035 hex cut glitter. I have a buddy that has about worn me out making baits like this for him. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Young Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 He's thinking nobody else has it. Evidently it's working. He sent me a pic of a 7 pounder even largemouth last night. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
