  1. +1 for Titebond. It usually costs a bit more for Titebond III but it's what I use. Titebond III is slightly stronger than II and rated as waterproof. Titebond II is rated only as weatherproof/water resistant. For a 16 oz bottle, Titebond III is $1-2 more at around $8. Titebond III does take longer to dry, 10 minutes as opposed to 5. Both II and III are good enough for regular size baits. For big baits, saltwater, musky/pike, I would use III for the slightly more strength and better holding up to water penetration which is more likely in those situations. http://www.titebond.com/community/the-big-three

  2. Curious what guys were having the best luck with laminating wood. I need to laminate some cedar to make make some true 2x2's for some baits i need to turn. In the past i have always just epoxied them, but wondering if there is something easier, faster and better?

  3. Regular old wood glue. Make sure the two sides going together are flat, and use a good quality glue like titebond 2, and that wood will be as good as one piece.

  5. Big Epp I can answer your question. That material is deer hair, which is hollow. When you cinch the thread down on it the hair flares out. You start tying at the rear of the hook. After you tie in each bundle of hair you pull all of the fibers straight back or pack the hair then wrap the thread in front of it. Continue this process all the way up the hook shank placing each bundle of hair directly in front of the last. Finally you trim the hair to shape.

  6. I like Boss powder coat. They offer some different color options for bright color combinations. Tj's has crinkle paint that allows for many colors on a jig similar to hydro dipping.
