Les Young Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Do any of you guys hand dip crappie tubes? What size rod & also your process? Mine always look to bulky when i make 2 color baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyfish Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Hi Les. I previously saw someone say a 12-penny coated sinker nail, remove the point and sharp edges and clean it in some lacquer thinner to take the coating off and have fun. I haven't tried it, but it may work. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted February 24 Author Report Share Posted February 24 (edited) Chris I’m using either a nail or a piece of wire 1/8” diameter. Guess I’ll have to modify my method some. Only small 1.5” crappie tubes are what gets to bulky for my liking when I dip the second color. Edited February 24 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This mite be the ticket for your tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyfish Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Not sure Les. I may have to give it a try just to see. I'm sure you'll figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted February 24 Author Report Share Posted February 24 Thanks guys. I can dip larger profile tubes for bass & they're fine but the thinner diameter of the crappie tubes just haven't suited me when i dip a second color. I'll just let the second color cool a little more & dip once & should be ok. I just thought you guys may have an easier way. No big deal i'll fix it.
