  1. I just started using KBS in the last few month, not sure to how many coats you guys are using and How many hours apart before dipping for additional coats Also for FYI I purchase a Thrifty Vac that fits over the larger Mason Jars when done dipping the baits I pull a vac on the jar with their Vac pump and takes out all the air and it doesn't leak They supply extra lids with a vac valve, works great, can be purchased at Amazon

  2. I'm usually a topwater freak and threw spooks, Cavitrons and ploppers. 4.5" - 5" paddletails are the most versatile bait I've found so far. Work them like a jig, throw them on algae mattes (better than frogs), slow roll or as wake baits. Give bass the time to eat them then hook set! For jigging a 6/0 x 1/8th oz swimbait hook on 7'6" Rainshadow MH w/telescopic handle and Lew's LFS #30 braid combo, for froggin' a 6/0 unweighted swimbait hook on 7'6" Shimano Sellus MH flippin stick and Lew's Super Duty #40 thin braid, slow rollin' or topwater VMC Drop Dead 5/0 3/32oz just about any 7' MH with your favorite reel and #20 braid. . Had some paddletails in colors I didn't think I would ever use. Changed them into colors I would use in the (usually stained) lakes and ponds of Iowa. They work! Used several colors of sharpies with gloves on. Blended colors by working with my fingers. Set colors by scrubbing in Dawn and warm water then set aside to dry. The colors used to be Clear Blue, Rainbow, Arkansas Shiner and Cooter Brown. Which one do you like? I used #18 to catch my PB a little over two weeks ago at a community pond that is surrounded by 4' grass and wild parsnip. It looks as if it doesn't get fished much for bass Got my boot stuck in mud while bringing it in. Strained my hamstring trying to pull the boot out. set my rod down while struggling with boot, fish flopped around and snapped off 10" of my flippin' rod. Crap! What I go through while hunting for big bass. Best I could tell it measured about 22" to 22 1/2" and still full of eggs. Limped back to my van hurting but happy.

  4. I was shipping 6 gallons direct to canada for 50.00, aka Ontario... I would check with Lureworks, as they ship worldwide. I bet they can get you taken care of.

  5. I think the "expiration" on alot of these curable resins is based on tow factors - 1 - how well it performs - which I could see some drop off over time - but for many many many things isn't a big deal and the second - suppliers wanting to sell product. I needed to reinforce something and wanted to use fiberglass to back the repair... found two quarts of epoxy resin in my shed which had to be atleast 4-5 years old - if not more... last time I can remember making something with it I lived in another house which was 4 years ago!!! It worked just fine... granted I probably wouldn't have used it for a structural application where you could hurt someone - but for what I needed it worked fine.... J.
