    Fellas, Thanks so much for the input. If you have anymore ideas...keep them coming. I got busy this week and have been unable to get to this project. Darn work always gets in the way!!! Hopefully this afternoon. Trey - The article was in the latest Bass Times. I have no idea how it will work or if I will be able to get this thing back together. But I am going to give it a try. Thanks!!

    Thank you for your reply. The reason that I was looking to remove the paint was because as I was cutting the finish was coming off in large chunks and it seemed that was the hardest part to get through. So if I use a dremel sander I would just want to do it at the actual cut point so I didn't have to use the pipe cutter to get through. If that makes sense. As I said I am as new to this as they come. When you say epoxy, where would I get that and is there any particular type? Thanks!!

    Hello all. I have been lurking around this website for awhile in an effort to determine whether or not to make the jump into making my own lures. I have to say that this is a great site and the lures that you all make are exceptional. I have decided to try a lure modification before I jump into lure making. I want to shorten a super spook. I read an article that mentioned this and it sounds like an interesting concept. I used a hand held pipe cutter to cut the lure in half. And then the same to take out the section to shorten. My first question is how can I strip the bait before I cut it. It seemed that the hardest part of cutting was getting through the hard paint before I got to the plastic. My second question is what will be my best way to put the lure back together. Keep in mind I am new and really have no idea what I am doing. I was just proud that I was able to cut the bait without destroying it. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!!
