Anybody know where to get the reflective tape like on the kramer bucktails. With baits becoming harder to find than muskies, I think I'm going to start making my own windowmakers and front end loaders. Thanks

Thanks everyone. I don't know why googling it just slipped my mind lol. I ordered some reflective tape from amazon but now I need to figure out what size weights are used on front end loaders (the front weight). Thanks

Not sure but they go 5oz total, FYI.

I've bought several different kinds of reflective. This stuff is the best from what I've found.

I'll get that too and see what I like better. Is it a little thicker and more durable?

I know that Thorne Bros has the tape already cut to shape if you don't want to mess with that aspect of building. I'm sure other places would have the stickers available as well...

I bought the other stuff that comes in a longer roll instead of the small sheets. It's just not good stuff.

I have Kramer bucktails that aren't even a year old and are peeling up. So none of it is as tough as I wish it was.

I've got a few different reflective tapes on the way I just need to figure out the weight for the front end loader. Do you guys know if it's lead or tungsten (I assume lead)? And is it just a bullet sinker you would use for like a Texas rig or something? Thanks
