I see Barlows has a new blank that looks like a rapala Tail Dancer. Anyone tried it yet and how does it run?
-
Thanks, I never thought about the Createx transparent base. Will give that a try.
-
Want to try using some glitter nail polish on some baits and wondering which way is best. After painting the lure, put on the nail polish, let dry and dip in KBS or After painting dip in KBS, let dry, put on nail polish, let dry and dip in KBS again?

Anyone know what happened to his site. It's not up any more?
-
Thanks guys, That's what I was hoping for!

Want to know if screw eyes will work in balsa woos. Don't want to use through wire. I'm thinking if I put the screw eyes in first, then seal the body, paint etc. that will help hold them in the soft wood? Anyone have expierence with this? Thanks in advance.

Thank You, I didn't think about that. Just saw two sizes of claw molds.
-
You guys using the 702 craw, are you using the 3 or the 3.75 mold?

The fact is that most people are dumb! If they hear something enough times they will take it for fact. This is how PETA, Humane Society and other organizations make money. Take a small cute animal, puppy or cat and tell the world how your going to save these animals and people will send you money without knowing if your doing anything or just putting the money in your bank account!

I use the plastic storage boxes you can get at Wal-mart or Menards. Have 18 different catagories. Big swim baits, small swim baits, large worms, small worms, crappie stinger tail, crappie boottail, etc.

Mark, If you coat the bills; how do you keep the line tie clean? I dip mine like you do, when the dripping stops; I walk outside in the sunlite and turn by hand for about two minutes; them put on a lure turner for a hour; then hang the bait up.
-
Love his molds, as all has said good products at a fast return. Just wish I had more money to buy more!
-
Everything that, reqiires shadeing is hard for me! I'm color blind to shades (can't pass a color dot test). That being said; I'm finding it's better to use transparent colors than opaque. Well, try, try, try again.

Youtube Video Showing How I Make My Balsa Lures From Start To Finish
MuskyGary replied to nedyarb's topic in Hard Baits
Loved this video! As someone starting to build my own crankbaits, this helped a lot in telling me the steps to follow. -
Since these are cheap baits, thinking about buying and repainting them, if they are good. Anyone tried them? Are they better than most KO's ?
-
Thanks for the info.
-
Anyone know if they're still in business or what happened? Their web page and facebook page have been dead since the fall of 2015.
-
Look for deals on E-bay and repaint them. A lot of Ma and Pa stores sell off their inventory at cost in the winter. (Rather have cash than inventory)
-
nice video. Watched all three of your videos.
-
Guess I'm going to buy a sample of the art risen and give it a try.
-
Now are you putting your baits on a lure turner? For how long?
-
Another thing I like to do, because of short bucktail; is tie the bucktail on the back of the jig and finish the front off with cross cut rabbit strips.
-
I use "Big Fly Thread", sometimes Kelvar,however it can cut the bucktail. If something is working for you keep at it. Finding long bucktail is hard. A lot of guys making the big preacher jigs are using feathers and craft fur.

Like all has said, It's easier to get into the habit of mixing color before heating. Now glitter I like to add after heating. Just the habits I got into.
