CNC Molds N Stuff Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I have not experienced pull out myself except on a bait that is already pretty torn up, but we have heard comments here and elsewhere about swimbait weights pulling out. I have two questions. 1. Have you experienced insert weight pull out? ( YES / NO ) 2. Which direction did it pull out? ( On the line above the bait / On the line below the bait / Other (please explain) / NA ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Bob, "Pull Out" is not a very effective method. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I fish lighter/smaller swimbaits now. Because I bury one hook of the treble in the bait belly before casting, with some line between the hook eye and where the line enters the bait, it seems to take the force of the cast, rather than the inline weight. I've had many more baits with the belly torn up behind the weight than having weights themselves rip out. When I used to fish heavier swimbaits, like Optimum and Osprey-type baits, with a washer as a stop for the treble so it didn't pull back up into the bait on the cast, the point in the belly where the line came out got torn up, too, but the inserts never pulled out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_White Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Bruce from Spikeit taught me a little trick, paint the lead insert with their plastic paint and the plastic bonds to the insert, I will occasionally try to remove an insert from a bait that the tail was ripped off, and it's work to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Ed, Does it also stop the lead from turning white, if you use a lead insert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_White Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yeah Mark, the color you put on is the color it stays till you rip or melt the plastic off it. I've been using their Colure2 paints to paint the inserts and to finish paint baits. Once in a while if I'm taking one apart I'll see the paint come off with the plastic, and the lead has that white, dusty color to it, but the bait was still "all together", the insert wasn't loose in the plastic, that's why I do it, so when you're trying to get a snap onto the bait, the insert isn't wiggling around inside. They have clear too if you don't want a color. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks Ed. That will allow me to use egg sinkers as line-through inserts in my smaller swimbaits. I can't find the Colure2 paint on their site, only the Colure Coat. Is that the same stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cami Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I usually seal my lead inserts with epoxy and before it is completely dried I apply a little quantity of aquarium filter wool, in such way the lead is encapsuled twice from epoxy and plastic fibers. The plastic fibers, like a sort of short fur, add a good grip to the insert that not slip anymore. Bye. Cami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robn510 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 1. Have you experienced insert weight pull out? ( YES / NO ) No, i never have had one pull out, though have pulled them out myself.. pasty corroded worm weight...i assume it must be from the salt. "Optimum and Osprey-type baits" sry if a little off topic but... Do you happen to have a source for the plastic tubes and caps used in their line through swimbaits? I've been washing ink refills from pens and melting a flange on the ends but its a big hassle. any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_White Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Mark, sorry it took so long for me to see this, but yeah, the Colure paints are what I meant, not sure where I came up with the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
