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.

Hey guys, Merry Christmas to all,
These are a couple of baits that i started a little while ago, that I will shortly be finishing. The large deep diver in the back I started about a month ago. Sealed with Devcon, foiled, it just needs one more epoxy coat before I can paint it. The other three are all the same bait, a shallow diving crankbait, it will hit about 7 feet with the round lip I will put on it. The foiled one again just needs another epoxy coat before I paint it, the others need to be shaped and sealed. Good Luck to the other builders and have A great holiday!!
Zach

Got a question for ya. I see alot of lures that have foil sides with topcoat coming off. did you experience this? it don't seem to want to adhere to the foil very well/.
How did you overcome this.
thanks,keith

Hey,
I seal the bait with polycrylic, then a coat of devcon. Over the devcon I apply the foil, then another epoxy coat over the foil. I then paint over that, and finish. Haven't had a real problem yet, but I think the first epoxy coat makes a huge difference. Of course I haven't caught any muskie on my lures yet though so I wouldn't know how they would hold up.
