    jigs are easy. buy a do-it mold . crankbaits will require a bit more things to build baits.
  2. woodieb8
    what styles. jigs, crankbaits, topwater etc?
  3. woodieb8
    on crankbaits the top choices seem to be . cedar,mahogany,basswood. personally i use cedar.

    hi the lip is set too far back in the body.look at other cranks you will see what i mean dont stop keep going .

    unfortunate . when we started molding baits they did help us thru the learning curve. we use many gallons yearly.

    sealing is key. we use envirotex epoxy. then primer. color and envirotex. some argue weight issues. but theres no actual weight problems ever created.

    hi mico ballons will weaken a body, when you pour and the foam rises blok your pour whole and vent. that will make the foam to collapse the bubbles and create a very hard outer shell.as for paints that will not affect a foam body.we use a 15lb ridid and never have your issue.

    we use dollar store adhero epoxy. remember scuff the lexan lip .it holds very well.
  12. woodieb8
    also if the pull point is beyond 1 inch from lip end baits will normally blo-out .
  13. woodieb8
    no one mentioned the l;ip slot. if crooked it will death spiral

    a client we have uses maple. for musky baits its pretty hardy stuff. we do the artwork..they will last decades lol.

    at one time here on l.st clair honduras mahogany was the cats meow. pricing now is crazy

    we are in canada. box stores sell it in many forms.it cutseasily,sands easily.it holds screws better then pine,s .yes some folks have sensivity..the best cedars we use is white cedar from the east coast.
  17. woodieb8
    hands down cedar. its light,buoyant but sealed works great .other then our molded urethane lures,its what we use on cranks. just seal coak first.
  18. woodieb8
    we used automotive clearcoats. but as said if chipped it will start the tarnish procedure.
  19. woodieb8
    we use smooth on . use a good mold release . we use manns 2831.
  20. woodieb8
    yes powder paint on the spinner. on many flutter spoons powder paint creates a too heavy presentation.,and its slower in production processes.
  21. woodieb8
    contact mike parker. handlebarz musky lures. i believe he may help you out. he is in ontario canada.

    sadly thats been an issue for decades. shooting candy paints will peel. even cleari coatinf.when spoons are plated it closes off metallic pores in metals..the larger spoon companies have aleways had issues ..nk spoons etc .i used to squirt 20,00 spoons a year ..when the markets tanked we just took spinner blades in to paint.
  23. woodieb8
    we used automotive etch primer also. the easiest way if your doing manufacturing numbers is. have them powder coated in white when ordered .you will never have an issue then..our topcoats we found best is automotive clearcoat 4to 1 mix. you need a exhaust system.
  24. woodieb8
    try luremaking.com in canada. prices are in canadien funds and cheaper then u.s. pricing.
  25. woodieb8
    on wood envirotex. on urethane foams and plastics we use automotive clearcoats.
