Random quote: A couple of young fellers were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the Game Warden. Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods like a bat out of hell, and hot on his heels came the Game Warden.

This was my very first jointed bait I've painted. I got the blanks from James @ Tackle Industries. Let me know what you guys think of it...

In case the pic doesn't load, here's a link to my PB account...

I have some guys who paint these up for Bass Pros and they use just a little Play-Doh and then dig it out after the epoxy dries. Any Play-Doh that gets into the joint disintegrates in water. Sounds like a good plan

PS-I still have a lot of the Dingo blanks left for $6 each ($5/blank if you buy 10 or more) if anyone wants a winter project. Lots of fin and tail colors to pick from. [email protected]

I saw the rainbow paint jobs on these baits --- they look awesome. I'm going to have to try my hand at this sometime. I do have a question regarding the Devcon2Ton epoxy that you mentioned -- Do you mix up the equal parts and pour/brush it on and then turn (like Viratex and other epoxies)?

Again, great looking work on these baits, that paint job sure makes it. I fish a few small streams that have a good population of trout swimming through, we always speculate that they make excellent muskie candy.

Thank you for the info.

Yeah, I brush the D2T on and turn it for about an hour. Thats provably a little longer than necessary, but thats what I do. Also, I do separate batches of epoxy for the front section and the back two. That way I dont have to worry about the pot life as much.
