What do I need to do to keep Prism tape ON the bait sides, without it flaking of falling off?

Something I have done is run a line of clear fingernail polish over the edge.

Put a coat of Envirotex, or Devcon 30 minute epoxy over the whole bait. Might make it a little more bouyant. But I doubt it.

The trick is to put one coat of clear on BEFORE you apply the tape. Then add the normal amount of clear over the tape. The problem with a lot of people's baits is that the clear needs a good base to stick to and the tape isn't it. Once you've got the base, the rest of the clear (and tape) sticks to it.

Slamr,
Applying prism tape to a rounded lure is a pain, like a jackpot or a manta. If applying to a flat sided lure, like a heckhound or a jake, etc, cut the tape out so that no tape will hang over the rounded edge. note the bottom right side bait in the picture.

For anyone having luck with holoform tape I have some I will part with. I have 100' 3" wide of gold scale tape bought from Moores Lures.

I was incorrect in the tape color. I have 50' of silver & 50' of gold. Email me if you are interested.
