  1. Getting a little better I think. Still waiting on parts for the fluid bed but went ahead with these to learn some more. Thought's ?

  2. Didn't mean to post in the wrong section. Still learning my way around here. I've read some stuff on bucktail that using to much will give less " fluff". I'm putting a wrap of short hair 3/8" or so on the collar first to try to help the longer hair flair out more. Experimenting with that. The thread has been tricky for me tension wise, I break it quite a bit and I some Ultra thread coming to try. The paint is fun and frustrating at the same time if that makes any sense. I have learned that when you dip the brush into the powder the next step is to tap the brush over the jar a couple times so there is little powder left on the brush. Heating is also tricky. Been trying different epoxy's but they yellow quickly. I found this CS coatings product ( clear not the UV ) at Barlow's and does not yellow but when I use the clearcoat over Red eyes it clouds the eye. Just on the Red ones. So still working on that. Thanks, 4/0

  3. I think that in the field of bait fishing. This holographic foil pattern is the most suitable.

  4. Twin 6 ounce all the way. I actually purchased one off of Frank last year & really like it. I had a 6 & a 10 ounce basstackle already before getting the twin off of Frank. I also had one fromBaitplastics which was the one from Quality Injector & i was never able to make the first shot with it. Baitplastic returned mine & many others money. I will also say that a lot of that have them & don't have any problems with them.

  5. We're actually talking about the same thing but my lack of English throws my post a bit off the track. Not my native language, sorry about this. I'll try to explain again. Exactly correct, if you want a long glider, then weight is distributes evenly. It still has the zig-zag motion but it's hindered, although, it glides very good. By this I mean, when weight is distributed evenly, bait turns when you twitch it and then it glides straight or makes a very subtle arc. But if you wish to have walk the dog motion, and by this I mean what I and what is thought to be walk the dog motion where I live, meaning the zig-zag and to be more precise, the motion when you reel your bait in and when you make a pause, bait immediately turns, not few degrees but even as far as 180, then most of the weight should be behind CoF. I think there are two types of walk the dog motions or at least people understand this consept in two different ways; First is when bait turns by twitching and glides after this, And second being when you regularly reel the line in and when you stop, the bait immediately turns, even without any twitch. It doesn't glide well when weight is behind CoF, but it turns very quickly. This is what I consider walk the dog motion, you just reel your bait in and it makes swimming motion and when you stop, it makes a turn. And when you twitch this kind of bait, it might do a 180. So one more time, most of weight behind CoF = fast turn, glide hindered Weight distributed evenly = very good glide, turning only when twitching. Not turned very good by just stopping your reeling in. Weight in front of CoF = doesn't turn on stops, glides probably nose down. Hopefully this time I explained more precise.
