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 Gang,

Until now, i have been using a nail head and just "stamping" the paint on the bait. Well, i keep getting a bubble effect.
I am not putting it on a flat surface, so the "stamping" method isnt really doing it nicey nice.
Any suggestions??
I dont need anything other than a big white dot with a little black dot in the center.

What are you guys doing??

Thanks and sticky hooks,

rob

Try using paint markers. I've used them to make eyes on a couple of my baits and had no problem. Mine are "Markal" Valve action paint markers. Not sure where to buy them - a couple found there way home from my workplace.

How about putting a sticker on it and then clear coating over the top?
