Man, those craw's are killer... Good job Marty...!

DONT KEEP IT IN THE CAN!!! The trick is keeping the air out as best as you can. I keep mine in salsa jars! They have a fluted neck which allows less air in the jar. I also wrap the lid with aluminum foil with a rubberband around it just for some extra protection. When I get down to about a quarter jar it will start to get hard. Also if your dipping your bait's you have to make sure not to let any drip back into the container. It is kinda fussy but not too hard to figure out. Dick is usually pretty good about returning emails and calls??? Anyway here's your link for the glisten.. http://www.por-outlet.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/170?osCsid=6cbbcc07a1d308ff3bb698ffb6354d47 . I want someone to try it and let me know how it is...

My favorite thin clearcoat is dick nites. I've dipped it, which work's fine but my favorite is to spray on a couple coat's which gives you a super thin super strong finish. I usually only use it on lipless bait's which have sharp edges. I love d2t but it will chip on sharp edges eventually. DN's really stink's to high heaven and will probably kill you if sniff it too much and you dont use a respirator but if your looking for a thin clear coat you cant beat it. Trick is to let it cure. It's a moisture cure clearcoat and will take up to a week to fully cure. I've used them 2 day's after coating without a problem but the longer you let it sit the harder it gets. Here in FL it dries pretty quick because of this dang amazon humidity!!! Anyone ever try Glisten PC? I've heard some good thing's about it, think the humidity is too high here for me to use it though..

lol... Dude, no one mean's any harm... Hell, I think it's funny watching this post.. Clearcoat's have always started heated forum discussions... Just let us know how it works man... ! ;D

YOU ARE THE MASTER...!!! LOL....

Was looking through some of my old bait's and I didn't know if I ever posted these on here for you guy's to check out... Their DD22's.. Butter cat and a Bluecat....

I hate it when that happen's... I love it when you leave 4 or 5 bait's on the drying wheel overnight and come out the next day to check on them and you have moth's, and mosiquito's stuck all over them..!!! :olol. Guess that could probably add a little attractant to a crank, huh....

Not a good lure finish,peels off like cellophane. That narrow's my search down a little...! Thanks...

you got me looking a little with this post. That stuff is only 24 bucks a quart. Might be worth the money to give it a try...

Is this the stuff? http://www.constantines.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=267

YEP!!! Come on man, help your brother's out....! lol

It's called a mexican rattler and their made by elgrandelures.com ... I love them, they also make a killer 5 in swimbait that I've caught fish in quarry ponds with too...

You dont remove anything but the eye's. Just scuff up with fine sand paper, Clean residue off good, and prime... Then paint...

;D ;D ;D

I've caught some nice fish in some pit's in Citra using a 1/2 oz weight and these http://www.elgrandelures.com//~stores/95679_preview.jpg .. Sometime's they hit it on the fall... Killer worms...

Their H20's from academy sport. Exactly the same as a LC 2.5 but only 3.95....!!

Got those craw's finished....! Also did another pumpkinseed sunfish and a golden shiner... What do you think...?

DD22 or elgrandelures.com BIG mexican rattlers....!

If you fishing alot of grass like we do here in FL. Try some weedless wacky worms by 'KickerFIsh' .. I've tore the fish up on them, Really hard to do the old regular wacky rig without hangin' on everything. http://www.kickerfishbait.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=45&osCsid=a228a9e12c0df5c8c79d579785720e5c

I did a black and blue one today. That's my favorite color craw. I'll get some pic's up as soon as I get them done!

DYNAMITE!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Congratulations!!!! Welcome to the 'BAITMONKEY ON OUR BACK' club...

All the craw was stencil's made from a business card. Not that hard, got a little more practice. I do like the pincher's though. They need a little more detail, but like I said it's not clearcoated yet so I can still play around with it. That joker being as big as it is and digging in the dirt will have to draw a strike...!

What do you think of this DD22 I did today? I got a bunch of them and the bill's were beat up pretty bad. Thought I'd cover them up with some craw claws.. Still haven't clearcoated it yet, and it's going to look 100 time's better after I do. The other is a spro bbz1 4" shad I did for a tackle store owner here. It was totally beat up from fish strikes. He wanted a golden shiner on it. He died the tail and fin with spike it. Look's pretty cool, might have to do my self one in this pattern....

Here you go. What do you think?
