  1. Rustoleom does take a few coats. Around four. And isn't very durable. Easiest top coat to use. I used to use glossy to give the wet look.
  2. That is a good idea...especially if you have many followers of the sport around your area. Maybe for one day schedule a festival of some sort with a fishing atmosphere (knot tying class, flipping contest,etc) Accepting donations for your team. Idk just ideas.
  3. Like an assembly line. Paint 5 baits? Paint 5 baits white then main color then accents and details and so on. But only if im doing multiple in the same color.
  4. Haha me too. My wife thinks im weird. But she understands. Buying knotting hoops and lacie tulle.
  5. Dremel does work well. Twisting a tiny phillups screw driver does too
  6. I painted this bait because im getting serious about jerkbait fishing. I wanted a bait for overcast days and resembled the forage base in my local big lake. Its just a pearlized white with a dark purple back and a yellow belly for it to stand out. Should work well in lightly stained water.

    transparent bluegill

    I tried and failed with mixing this color countless times until I got what I wanted. The side stripes I dabbed a foam paintbrush to create them.
  9. Yea that's why I tossed it. Luckily I didn't use it on a lure, cuz it looked off. Then I said nope ain't usin.
  10. Thanks. Most likely just using my initials.
  11. What type of pen or marker do you use sign your lure? I've used a sharpie but too thick of lines.
  12. Yea I did a test batch... it dried white.
  13. Can an opened 2 ton 30 min epoxy go bad? The clear liquid went like a clear milky and is hard to push out. I did have it for about half a year.maybe air got into it? I just won't use it, don't trust it. Thanks for any help.
  14. Yea salad tongs work well too.
  15. Start signing initials or stamping your lures on the belly of the bait.
  16. Only buy plastics. Build my spinnerbaits Jigs and squarebills

    Weedguards

    Well I don't make them yet... I am just looking into it right now. But the guy I buy the jig heads from he uses mustad. Not sure of the style. The only info I got sorry. My plan as of right now is buying the unpainted jig heads and weedguards from fishingskirts.com. save some money in the long run. Already have powdercoat. Then put the jig heads together. When I have the space to pour lead I'll get molds and hooks. Probly mustads too.

    Weedguards

    See that's what I was thinking too. If I need a softer weed guard I'd use a razor blade and slice a few strands at a time. As for jigs that don't fall over flat eye arkies work well for me. Pretty much all I use.

    Weedguards

    what strength weedguard at fishingskirts.com would you recommend for 3/8 and 1/2 oz arky flipping jigs? mostly pitching wood and laydowns. would heavy be too stiff? would heavy prevent a lot of hangups? prevent hook ups on fish?
  21. a lot of you guys have your own rooms to paint and build. im jealous because I live in an apartment and mine is in my bed room, and I cant paint as much as I want. pretty much I paint when my girlfriend goes away for the day or the weekend. haha. but a lot of the setups ive seen on here and other sites are pretty awesome. cool setups guys.
  22. Rustoleum crystal clear enamel
