| OK,
Just made a stop and picked up a sherbert Bull Dawg. I like the color for the chain but was interested in putting some black tiger stripes on it for a little color contrast. Was thinking spray paint might work, but before I massacre the bait I was looking to see if anyone has painted a Bull Dawg with any success.
Thanks.

| Use permanent magic marker. Paint is softened by the chemicals in the plastisol used to make the bait, and will make an awful mess.
Hope this helps!![:bigsmile:] |

|
| Does the magic marker eat into the paint?
Steve, have you tried this? |
|
| |
|
| The marker won't hurt the bait at all. Just use the permanent black marker, and you are set.
I have used markers to stripe my yellow creatures for years. Shouldn't be a problem at all. |
|
| |
|
| Steve, won't the marker bleed and fade? I have had this problem doing this. Let me know.[:)] |
|
| |
|
| It will eventually fade, but won't bleed unless the plastisol is very soft. Try the marker on a small area, fish with it, and see what it does.
I haven't had any problems using permanent marker at all. |

| Painter & I both know a person who shall remain nameless... we'll just call him Frank... who actually painted a bulldawg. He's still find paint smears in his tackle box, boat, pretty much everywhere the dawg wondered. It was a major league mess. It was also pretty funny. Take Steve's advice and use the marker. Save the painted dawgs for gag gifts.

| Update on the marker.
Tried it and let it dry but it is still bleeding.
I am going to wash it off and try one of those paint permanent markers. If that doesn't work then I give up and fish with my sudged sherbert dawg...lol

| Rubber Bait Tips....
When I get them home I put them on cardboard or paper towel and turn them about every 2 days to soak up excess oil from casting process.
Color tips:
Permanent magic marker works on "non-oily" baits.
The stuff from Bass-Pro works well also....Caution..This stuff stains any cloth it gets on so be darn careful where you work with it. I stained the carpeting of one of my boats when I was dipping twister tails in red dye in the boat.... Learned the hard way that the little $5 bottle of remover they sell is worth it's price....[:blackeye:]
No matter what you use it will bleed through if the baits are still "oily" dry them up and you should be in good shape.

| Phil,
When you go to Bass Pro Shops, you are looking for SPIKE IT - Worm and Chunk Paint.
It works awesome. Dries completely in a couple of minutes.
It comes in a small glass bottle (like finger nail polish). Has a brush attached to the cap so you can brush it on.
I have painted several Dawgs with it. Doesn't come off.
Good luck! |

|
| LOL....Thanks guys! LOL, now my second question:
How do you get smudging permanent marker off a bull dawg?
Thanks again guys!

|
| The best way to get magic marker off a bulldawg is to paint it!
Sorry - I couldn't resist.

| Man, it's been a while since I've been on the BB's, but it's time. Anyway, not sure if it is still produced, but Mr. Twister makes a product called "Color Burst" which is made specifically for paiting soft plastics. I have a few spray cans of chartruese and red...looks awesome and does not rub off. I think I got mine at R&H's a few years back. |

| I use magic markers on my 6" shads to add perch-bars or tiger/mackerel stripes and the inkt stays wet for about 24 hours. You should press them with one side first against a paper. This removes some inkt but doesn't smear it. Then press the other side on a new paper and hang it to dry for a day or two max. Then it should be ready. I don't mix these shads with other non-marked ones in my tackle box because they do tend to color other shads with bars then.
For yellow shads I use a red marker and the red inkt comes of but it penetrates the shad and forms hot orange bars! Nice color for orange throats, orange heads, orange bars, ...
The best option you have to get rid off the present inkt is fish with it. The buldawg will get used and the black inkt will come off bit by bit.
I know they sell coloring paint for plastics in about every DIY store: try moore's lures, jann's netcraft or luremaking.com They tell you how to use the paint on baits. Good luck! |

| Scott has the answer, SPIKE IT. I've used this for a few years and it works great. You can either dip the whole bait or paint it with a brush for detailed work. |
