CHUBBY

One Of The Best Tools I've Used Is A Mini Planer. I Also Build Large Muskie Lures And The Planer Works Great For Shaping The Lures. The Only Wood I've Used So Far Is Ceader. I Buy Clear Ceader 2x4's, Draw The Lure Shape On The Wood, Cut It To The Size I Want,and Shape It With The Planer. Works Good For Me.

Thanks For YouR Help Guys! I Thought I'd Be Happy With This Site When I Found It, And I Am!

I Did Use Devcon As A Sealer, And I Let The Paint Dry For 3 Days Before Applying The Top Coat, But The Paint Was Still Sticky. Now I Just Put Top Coat On My Second Lure, And While Brushing On The Epoxy, It Ate Through The Paint And Smeared It! Not Gonna Use Rattle Cans Anymore. Oh Well...lessons Learned I Guess! Gotta Get A Air Brush Before I Do Anymore Painting.

JUST FINISHED MY FIRST GLIDE BAIT,TURNED OUT GREAT! LEFT IT IN MY TRUCK FOR A FEW HOURS AND THE PAINT AND TOP COAT LIFTED RIGHT OFF THE LURE AND CRACKED! USED ENAMEL PAINT AND DEVCON 2 TON FOR TOP COAT. WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

Hi All! Chubby here. I just started making lues a few weeks ago and am trying to soak up as much info as possible before really getting in to it. I would like to know how foil is used, what type it is, and where can i get it. The only lues I'll be working on are very large muskie baits and any other tips would be great! Thank you.
