Posts: 126 Location: Culloden, WV | Tested the bait runs about 1' deep and when twitched good belly roll and darts left right on a steady retrieve not much of either. Needs bigger lip. Any advice appreciated. | ||

Posts: 791 Location: WI | Line tie is too high. Lip is too steep and possibly too far back. | ||

Posts: 126 Location: Culloden, WV | 2 part automotive urethane clear x 4 coats I adjusted the line tie angle and made new thru wire jig taking into account your suggestions. Kind of what my thoughts were I tried bending line tie but it's futile it's epoxied in and solid up and down. I made new blanks to try modifications. Keeping notes and patterns as I go. | ||

Posts: 126 Location: Culloden, WV | I sprayed the top coat. I coat the bait wait until u can touch the line tie and when u pull away its stringy then next coat is ready. Then coat it up to 4x. | ||

Posts: 126 Location: Culloden, WV | I may add I been in auto body repair for a while and an airbrush artist for years so I have this stuff just laying around. I use a Thayer and chandler omni 4000 airbrush for large area and an iwata high line hp airbrush for detail. | ||
