  1. I use braid on my hollow body frog rod, and in certain situations I will pitch a jig or soft plastic with that rod as well (dirty water), its got 65# power pro on it. The other application I use super line for is my heavy spinning reel gets fireline 10# on it. Everything else I use is mono or flouro.

  2. They are definitely on level with Ed's work, but I am not sure if he has ever done any without his name engraved in the lip but if he did that would be my guess too.

  3. The Coffin Bill Baits look like a Tennessee Killer crankbait???

    Tony

    They are not exactly like the TN Killer either.

    They are very well made, probably in GA, NC or SC, worth between $20 each and priceless.

    Just looking at the eyes, looks like Sellers, Klein, or Pryors work to me.

  4. every once in a while (at least once a week if you paint a lot) you need to take your brush apart and clean inside the air cap and nozzle and such, to make sure that the air has a clean path too. Another possibility for the splattering is the paint could be too thick, if thats it just try thinning it a little more, but it sounds more like there is paint that your not cleaning out. Good luck, and there should be instructions on the Iwata site on how to get to those parts if your unfamiliar.

  5. I'm not sure I'm clear on the "secret" here. Is it how the bait is prepped or the addition of the UV hardener that makes this all work? Certainly just shooting Createx on a frog won't work.

    thats not what i use, i was unable to find a clearcoat to protect the createx and not react with it, that would be soft enough to work.

  6. That bait is sick! I'm suprised lucky craft or some other high end bait maker hasn't came out with a realistic frog. Not bashing any companys just saying they could step up and sell more. After all that's what it's about right?

    Well its coming soon, I just designed some frog colors for a major manufacturer that should be out by this fall or next spring.

  7. Curious to see if anyone else has figured out what to paint frogs with besides me, thats my frog in the picture there.

    Most of the things I do I will gladly tell, but I'm not going to say what I use on the frogs, who knows someone might be willing to pay for the secret some time haha.

  8. The Editor that just left FLW Magazine, Jason Sealock, is now over at Wired2Fish.com. Be sure to stop by and check out the changes taking place over there. Lots of big doings going on there, like their first TV spots on ESPN (also available on the site) Jason will make a great addition to their team.
