  5. Big Rattles For Big Plugs

    in Hard Baits

    Posted

    @ quickdraw

    Have you tested your rattling lures in a bathtub or just by shaking them in your hand ?

    I've found , that bath tub testing is a great way to determine about rattle sound variations , ...as the tub amplifies and transmits sound very well !

    Thanks for sharing your findings .

    @ mangeboy79

    What a nifty little tool there in your link , .......haven't seen such before , thanks for sharing , ........I had tried closure plugs out of timber before , but to me metal just provides a sharper and louder sound(the question is , which sound pattern would fish prefer :lol: ) !

    Cheers , Dieter :yay:

    diemai diffrent wood diffrent sounds :) seems like lighter woods are louder for some reasons, cedarwood is really loud , and if you like metalsound more just glue in a washer in the hole and on the plug

    in Soft Plastics

    Posted

    I have a cnc that can machine pvc but not aluminum. Would pvc hold up to the heat? If not what plastic are the commerical molds made from?

    Thanks

    if you whant to machine moulds out off plastic , why dont you cast blocks off bondo or polyester and machine your moulds out of them?

  14. How To Paint Vertical Bars

    in Hard Baits

    Posted

    I'm curious if anyone on the board has ever figured out how to paint perfect vertical bars like those on the freestyle bait I pasted as an example below. I seem to get the best results if I free hand them but it's hard to be consistent from one lure to the next.

    Does anyone have suggestions on how to get them to look like they do in this freestyle? These look perfect!

    thx.

    Jed

    freehand the bars , transparent black and low spraying pressure and you will be spraying those bars and better !

    best regards magnus

    Posted

    whats the diffrens between a crankbait and a swimbait ?? i have allways called baits with lips for crankbaits even if they have more than one joint , and lipless jointed baits for swimbaits , if a crankbait has more than one joint is it a swimbait??
