Junkhead Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 I’m starting to custom paint lures. Just for fun , not a business. I fish for speckled trout and use a lot of suspended baits. However I can’t find any blanks that fit this type of lure. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Fisher Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Probably have to make the blanks suspend themselves after paint and clear by tuning with different split rings and hooks and these suspend dots. I use the Storm Suspend Dots and Strips all the time for swimbaits, to get them swimming the want I want, hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted January 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 AZ, thank you for that info. I can certainly adjust blank weight w hooks and weights. I’m not able to find lipless blanks. Blanks like a twitch rap or MR17 style. Does anybody make those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Fisher Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 I'm not familiar with those blanks. Right above this post on the Hardbaits page there is a sticky of a list of blank suppliers, maybe you can find what you need from one of those companies. Dinger and Predator are the best and Shelts and Wlure are at the bottom of the list, IMHO. Here;s a link and the strips https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/searchresults.html#search=products&searchtext=storm suspend dots&opt_page=1&opt_sort=alphaAtoZ&opt_perpage=20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
