They are slow floating a dive to 5 feet with a nice wobble. I use ball bearings as weights and make the weight chamber a bit bigger to give it some rattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aulrich Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 How durable are the paint jobs on pteg, I thought paint adhesion was one of PTEG's weaknesses? That is one reason I have been using PLA, I had expected to warp some baits but none yet. Some time ago I ran into a YouTube he tested 35% vs 10% with double lines and the 10% double line was as strong and a bit lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using a water base acrylic so no matter what you painted it on it would need a clearcoat. I've been using a uv resin clearcoat that's been working out well.
