Boone Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Folks What is you method on making homemade crankbaits? For the folks that are veterans... What are your steps Once you have the pattern cut and sanded, do you seal your bait before you test and paint or do you add hardware and then test before sealing and painting. Also do you paint and put your finished clear coat on before or after you add the lip Thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is tons of good info here, do your search for topics like, balsa baits, painting, lips and clearcoating. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellure Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I dry fit everything first; lip, weight, screw eyes and hooks to make sure its balanced and sits right in the water. After that, I will seal the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
