Boone 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2005 Folks What is you method on making homemade crankbaits? For the folks that are veterans... What are your steps Once you have the pattern cut and sanded, do you seal your bait before you test and paint or do you add hardware and then test before sealing and painting. Also do you paint and put your finished clear coat on before or after you add the lip Thanks Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
