It depends on the swimbait, I've got them on 5"-6" Mann's Hardnose baits and on the Yum Money Minnow

Don't worry I got a couple of those and one that is ready for another paint job ;D

I am going to be doing some night fishing and want to throw a black buzzbait. I have no experience with buzz baits except for fishing cheap wally world ones. so what are some good ones?

I've had the same experience too. I don't plan on buying them again

Agreed! I've yet to catch a bass on that crap!

Ok so, 1.)Black Jitterbug 2.) Black/Blue Rage Craw. Ok any more guys?

ok guys you've been a great help. One more thing if you could have anyone bait tied on to your c-rig for the summer bite (evenings & early mornings) what would it be? (Brand Specfic) ;D I am going to hit the water this evening we had a cold front move in it might help the bite and might hurt it????

Well our water temp is already at 80* so I went out this morning, I got out a little late like around 7am and the temp was 80* and I was throwing a SK Anaconda on a T-Rig, and landed a nice 5lb 8oz bass, then caught some dinks on a XR50, numbers weren't great but did catch some I am gonna try some of those tips y'all said too, I am gonna start probably next week

That is a good idea, i didn't think about that

I may try the night fishing, I have been working on my C rig skills . So what do you do at night? The Same things? Same colors? I have seen all black spinnerbaits that are midnight something or other. Guessing these are for night fishing?

We have no grass and no pads :'( I really wish we did that would be some fun fishing, but the lake is more for selling Real Estate than it is for us hardcore fisherman ;D

So I have some ultra steel bullet weights that are shiny and I wanted to coat them and was wondering how I could do it with bullet weights? I have seen the how to videos on painting jigs and SW Jigheads, they hold it with the forceps and heat it then dip in paint and cure in a oven. So how do I do it with bullet weights?

yeah its a man made lake, and they really should have made it an avg. of 15' IMO. I will try that what would you be throwing? Big worms? Creatures? Lipless cranks?

OK so I had a hard time fishing in the summer months last year on my lake. Our surface water temp got up to 94* in August and mid to high 80s in late June-July. I was trying different things to get the bass to bite but wasn't extremely successful. We have a ton of underwater structure that we put out in the lake. Pallets, trees, etc... Our lake is an average of 8ft deep with deep holes in the 10-12ft range. We don't have any pads up top or anything like that. So what do you guys recommend for those hot summer months. I did well with shaky heads and t-rigged 10" worms last year, but numbers weren't great. I am in SC, so it gets pretty hot down here. Oh also we have LMBs, Hybrid striped bass, and BLGs Thanks Guys!

Well I went with the Owner's for now, because they were sold out of Triple Grips >

Ok so that stuff is $10 to ship it , man shipping rates have gone up! Might get some E-Tex and some of this too

Ok Sounds Good, I am going to order some. Thanks Whittler

Love this one!

Ok what PSI Should I be running on? No I am not back flowing it, when do I do that before I put new paint in and do it with water? Or do I do it after I put the paint in? Should I run some solvents through it? Denatured Alcohol? I don't wanna mess anything up

ok you guys are a big help! I am mainly doing small to medium crankbaits. I am working on repaints of SK Red Eye Shads, Rat-L-Traps and some predator bass baits cranks just to get the hang of it. None of them are that big the biggest one is the jointed crank that is supposed to be like the jackall one, IDK the name. So how long is the shelf life on the flex coat, I am not going to be doing a lot of baits at the same time so I don't wanna get a large quantity and have them go bad on me, i.e. harden up or something

Any ideas?

I've only used the small one, but I use the same techniques mentioned above

Ok thanks guys, I might try both of them out. How much Flex Coat should I need? does this stuff go a long way?
