dsqui Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 I'e seen and heard about dipping baits after they are injected but I've never heard what exactly this consists of. Anyone have any insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkrind Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 The same plastic that the bait is made from only clear unless you want different effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 I've done that with baits that have eyes that I glued into them, to put a coat of clear over the eyes to make them smoother. It holds up pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBelleGroveOutdoors Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I dipped these frogs after putting eyes on. I have also dipped curly tail grubs for a thicker body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeFishing Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I have been doing some open pour swimbaits and the finished color is dull so i thought about dipping them. Do you just dip the body and not the tail or do half, let it dry, and then the other half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run a long needle through the tail up into the body and do it all at once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a handle do what U A T mentioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
