  1. super glue is not a good sealer by itself, need to do a coat of devcon before painting and clear coat. I've used just super glue on baits I've wanted to fish and the same thing happened. What super glue does for a wood bait is give the wood a good hard outer shell to resist dents and dings.
  2. Tackle Kraft, TK Stanley can lay down some color and his craw patterns are 2nd to none.
  3. I just bend the tail prop to counter the nose prop, I've not seen any blades advertised as counter rotating. I'm sure the companies that use those blades just order a large number of blades.
  4. Iwata Eclipse HP-CS, Revolution HP-CR are the only brushes I've owned for 20yrs.
  5. The way I seal balsa wood cranks is as follows, 1 coat of super glue then lightly sand, 1 coat of flex coat rob builder's epoxy, scuff with 320 grit, prime, paint, and clear coat with flex coat ultra v high build. I have foiled baits over 10yrs old that have held up. I've been building since 2002 and never had a issue with my seal coat peeling off of foil.
  6. I think the tail is too long and the flat nose needs to be flat. Put the line tie at the very back of that flat nose. I've build more than a few floating lipless baits and the ballast is forward in the body so it sits nose down at rest.
  7. I do my sealer coat over the foil then paint and clear coat. My foil baits have held up for yrs.
  8. Look at candy foils but be aware the back side is still sliver. It's very thin foil and does not take patterns well.
  9. rod builders epoxy is good for sealer coat but I would not use it to clear coat, no uv additives in that porduct
  10. Flex Coat Ultra V high build is a very good clear coat. Takes a long time to cure so spin those baits for about 3hrs.
  11. I recommend you use circuit board material for you deep divers.
  12. I've found that for every inch of lip from the nose of the bait you get 7-8ft of depth.
  13. wildlife colors super hide white is what I use for the base coat. It sprays well thru a .5mm brush at 35psi.
  14. That is a good physics question, I would just a hang 20 lb weight and see what happens
