Random quote: Muskies are nasty. They stink. They taste bad. They are hard to catch and will disappoint even the most devoted angler. The lures required cost more than some women's jewelry. The rods and reels require a remortgage of the house. The boat is always worth more than the tow vehicle. Sure beats the hell out of golf.

Hi guys, The only two blanks that I have received from ERC both had the same pattern of deep gouges down the sides which easily show up when painted over. Is this normal , and what's the best way to cover the defects of the blank before painting?

Elmers wood putty works just fine....Or you could use Kombi spot putty.

Pretty much normal. I just spray a few coats of 123 primer and lightly sand between coats. Helps enough for me to be ok with it. Bondo maybe...lol

They are called flow lines; it’s from when the plastic fills the mold. They vary to some degree, but most hellhounds have them. If you can’t live with them, use a rattle can heavy primer to fill them in. Sand the bait smooth to reduce the primer buildup.
