TerryF2858 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 anyone try the WP ko's, how did you paint in between the body and tail and clear coat it so it will still spin? thanks T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 If the ko is faithful to the original, the gap is very narrow and you shouldn't have a problem avoiding locking up the tail with clearcoat that is brushed on. To guarantee it doesn't, wrap a rubber band into the gap and it will seal off the joint while painting and clearcoating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglinarcher Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Is the chopper/plopper blade rigid plastic or flexible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I use a piece of shirt cardboard with a small hole in it, and a slot cut to the hole, to act as a spacer/masker when I paint my ploppers. I spray them with Rustoleum X2 Gloss Clear, two coats, with the cardboard removed, and they still spin fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would sure hate the lure to be like the Bass Pro Shops KO with the chopper front and back, "double down plopper". The blades break and the reviews on the lure are terrible 1 out of 5. A bad bait like that could kill a reputation pretty quick. http://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-xps-double-down-plopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.t Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Be aware that the tail may come off, I was masking off the tail and it came right off ,I looked at the others and 1 of them was loose about to slide off, I'm sure a little super glue will fix it but just want to warn everybody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.t Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Maybe ,I don't know I just notice some are tight and had a dab of glue ,that would make sense though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.t Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Your right mark that's the reason , I purchased mine on presale didnt see that noted then but I just checked and it's on there in the description , glad I didn't paint a bunch and sale them, I'd really feel like an idiot Edited July 25, 2017 by Mr.t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryF2858 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Mine are 90s so thats probably why they didnt come off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisley Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I ordered the 130s and the 90s. The 90s have a smaller profile than the river2sea versions. I really like the quality of the 130s though. Only thing is mine came with all Left eyes instead of a right and a left. Not a big deal but kinda disappointing after waiting so long for them. As far removing the tail, mine are all glued on already. I tried to remove them first thing when I got them, but they are on there pretty good. I managed to paint and clear coat them with d2t with no problems though. They run just as well, if not better than the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
