Location: S.Wisconsin		Im wondering what every one uses to hold baits for painting?
Im making smaller 6" gliders and im looking for something to hold
them other than my fingers. My daughter does like my nail polish tho.
Thanks guys

i use those and its great when you can just have your 2 hands free to work and you dont have to hold the bait.

Location: Loves Park, IL		The harbor freight one is nice and cheap ($2.99)....especially if you have the 20% off coupon. Check your Sunday newspaper....they are usually in there every week....I have a stack of them sitting around just in case I need a cheap one-time tool.

Big needle-nose vice grips. It's very convenient to be able to rotate the lure. Of course rubber gloves are a must, but they're cheap.
