Thank you for the feedback, for calculating the sizes, I heard about it before but was not aware that it is also valid for the thickness. Will use it .... Thank you very much Regards Q9

Hello together, I have a question for downsizing baits / Jerkbaits. Is there any information how to reduce the thickness in relation to the length? e.g. I have a Jerkbait which is normally 15cm long and 19mm thick. In which relation I have to reduce the thickness when I want to build this bait in 9cm to 10cm length... Your experiences are welcome Regards Q9

Hello together, i also use envirotex (not yet tried any other product). I also build a drying wheel..... How long do you rotate the baits until the envirotex got sticky? Last time I stopped it after 8hours but next morning the epoxy was concentrated on the lowest area of the bait (nouses).... Thank you Q9

Dear all, thank you very much for your kind support. I got some very good ideas which I have to use and see the result. @Bruce KY - the bait posted by you, looks like sth. I was thinking for (Jerkbait?) Thank you Regards Q9

@ Iam Spartacus, thanks for reply. I have no problem while attaching with a loose hook on a screw eye. - That is a different bait. Here I want to check the other technique with proper fixation. The lure should look like a one-piece and not like a jointed one.. I have different ideas ( using a screw upside down; using metal wire formed as arrowhead,..) But seems not the best fixation. Therefore I am looking for input from the specialists Regards Q9

Hello together, first let introduce myself, my name is Thomas and I am from Germany. I started (looking) to build own hard baits some years ago, but forgot to continuou). This year I turned back and read a lot and also did my first jerkbaits and crankbaits. The result is acceptable for me. The most problems I have with the finish, but I work to improve this :-)) I now want to start to build cranks; jerks where the body is a combination of hardbait and soft bait fish. Therefore I am looking for ideas how to attach the soft fish to the hard bait - as done on fox warrier or fox rooter... There should be a proper connection between them ( I do not like to attach the soft fish on a single hook and attach this to a screw eye) So thank you for your ideas Regards Thomas alias Q9
