Lurehead03 Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Here are some DT16 copies I've been working on the first proto type killed em till a big spot decided he want it more than me got to say it made me sick to loose it. Why is it the first new type bait you make is always the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Brush Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Lurehead03, Nice touch with the bevel on the diving bills. Looks like you got some color-change blue misted on them. What brand color-change are you using? Tight lines, Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurehead03 Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 the sides are done with a white base and then lurecraft blue pearl powder mixed with clear the top has a green to gold color change paint (wal-mart automotive) over the chartruse I thought it gave a nice effect in the sun you are really supposed to use a black under paint to see full effect of the color change but it looks good over the chart.

Chicken Creek Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Balsa with a thru wire Can you tell me about the thru wire? Do you drill all the way thru then insert the wire, or is the lure made in two halfs and the wire inserted before gluing the two together? Thanks By the way, very nice lures!!

Lurehead03 Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 What I do is get bait like I want it then cut a slot with a cut off wheel on a dremel then epoxy my wire and weights in the belly and out to the tail then glue in the bill and line tie after paint and all sanding is finished be sure to fill the slot up with epoxy may take several layers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
