  1. It's a 3 piece lipless floater ratio on the pieces 2/1/1 and a half maybe i should add a joint in the tail section, but i don't want to get ahead of myself and would like to solve this bait the way it is with minor tweaks. The joints were a nightmare i cut them and to say the least they didn't come out the way i wanted them to and alot of sanding was involved i tested it after bring the joints closer to the bait the first cast was great, after that the eyescrews started getting off center due to twisting and it ran like a turd in the water. i was thinging of super gluing the eye screws in place and hoping that it swims like it did on the first cast when the eyescrews were straight. Its so easy to make a bait kind of work LOL i really think i could catch on it, but it's not what i was originally after. anyways thanks for all the great input.
  2. Thanks guys, I tried making the joints closer and need to take it for a test spin as for photos i need to get a new camera, hopefully for christmas, Mine was dropped and doesn't work so well / at all. I'll let you know how it goes.
  3. OK I have been working on a 12 inch triple trout style bait Double hinged eye screw to eye screw connection MY PROBLEM is the bait runs killer at a medium to fast retrieve but does NOTHING on a slow retrieve (THE SPEED I WANTED) it just wants to go straight with little movement so i was thinging it could be the hinges being to tight for a slow retrieve I had to pinch them together and one was a little off center. i was going to replace the eyescrew tomorrow and try again any hints on smashing the eyescrews together to connect the bait Wanted to get some feedback thanks to all
  4. Can anyone help with the best way to heat plastic? How can i get all the plastic to have the same consistancy? without lumps what are you guys using? how do i keep it smooth? what is a good pot to work with?
  5. so many talented painters on the sight I was hoping for some advice If you could do it all over again what would you start with? I'm talking the whole kit, I'm ready to dive in with painting and want to do it right the first time. I have nothing and need to start from scratch. I was looking at the Iwata pro jet for compression and wanted to start from there
  6. where do you find denatured alcohol? I've never heard of it before? thanks
