| Regarding wood VS plastic baits. Does paint stay in better shape on wood baits over plastic? I have noticed paint is very thin on my plastic trolling baits and hooks flake it off very easy. |

Location: Freedom, WI | If the paint is flaking off it has not bonded to the plastic(each type of plastic is different on what bonds to it), if it is wearing off it is bonded to the plastic which is normal from hooks and fish. If it is epoxy coated it will last longer but still wear off over time. A little super glue on hook rash does wonders. Especially if it is wood as it seals the small holes and prevents water from entering. |

Good point from Roger on the glue trick too. |

Location: Almost Heaven | Fish must like dead bait. Lol Some of the most mangled up, ugly looking, no paint left baits my partners use, catch fish on a regular basis. When asked if they want those done over they say: "No Sir". |
