Location: Oconomowc, WI | Well after lots of reading on here and some help from you guys I finally completed a batch of baits. The small ones are shallow twitch baits and then I made the goliath sucker pull bait. This is my first time doing any woodwork like this and first time with an air brush. The twitch baits work pretty good but I think I need to add a little weight cause they blow out really easy, super erratic though. Also I didn't have my drying rack setup quite right so they have a little pool of epoxy on the tops. The pull bait turned out better with the epoxy, has a nice medium fall rate, a bit on the heavy side, but still castable. I made the twitch baits out of oak, cherry, and cedar with two different lips and the goliath sucker is red oak. Got some ideas for some deep divers and a big trolling bait next. Thanks to everyone for sharing their methods and advice! |
