Very nice. thomas

Here are some baits I've painted recently, still working on making my own, so i'm using the plastic bodies as practice pieces dam peoples, beautiful work. I have no doubt when you start making your own, that the quality will match your painting skills. thomas

Big M, What kind of paints do you use (brand), water base or enamel? I agree with Whittler, beautiful work. thomas

Very nice. Is that a custom mold? Also where did you get the spiral wire at? Hate to be so nosey, but I sure would like to make some. Just so darn expensive to buy. thomas

Beautiful work Gentlemen, thomas

Whittler, Did you airbrush the epoxy? thomas

Beautiful job John, I've framed the two crank baits I've recieved from you in a shadow box. Hung them in my den. I will be airbrushing my first baits this weekend. I'll post some pictures soon. It's great to have such a talented gentlemen on this site. Gives all of us beginners someone to emulate. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. thomas

Very nice jbass, You are right up there with wittler, I'm impressed. Do you use a base coat before painting? thomas

Thank you jbass, thomas

Gentlemen, I am ready to paint my first crankbaits. What kind of paint should I be using? Need to know what kind of base, main colors and finishing coats. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, thomas

Hey John, What gauge wire do you use for your line tie's? And what type of wire do you use? One more question if I may. Just how do you attach the end of the wire going into the plug? thomas

Anyone out there know of any plan's available on making a plastic injector? thomas

I use a bench drill press, scroll saw, 1" belt sander and carving knife. Great fun. thomas

Great stuff Daren, Welcome aboard. thomas

John, Sure seem's like a lot work, but that's what makes you the best. Also, I found a shop the sells Lexan plastic. They want $40.00 for a 3 ft. X 3 ft. piece. That sound about right? :-/ thomas

Hey Whittler, How do you use a photo to paint or cover the lure? Also, that letter I sent you a month ago, found it under my wife's floor mat while cleaning her car the other day. She said she forgot to send it. Well, I did send it out yesterday. I feel like a jerk. Sorry John. thomas

Is there anyone, who might know how one could buy direct from a soft plastic's company? Like Calhaun plastic's. I can't seem to find a address for them. Maybe someone out there my have it. Would surely be thankful. thomas

Thank you John thomas 8-)

John, Is that Lexan a pretty common product? :-? Would you purchase the material at a hardware store? thomas

Hey Whittler, Do purchase your bills for the crank baits or do you purchase the material then make them? Also, what kind of material would you use? Sent you off a letter today. Thank you thomas

jbass, Nice job. thomas

Hey Guys, I've machined a two piece Alum. mold. It's a 5 1/2" Senko worm. I'll post a picture of it in a couple of days. Want to make a few worms first, so I can take a picture of the worms and mold together. Would surely like some feed back. Thanks, thomas

WildBill, I just finished machining a 2 pc. mold out of Alum., and will be posting a picture within a couple of days. It's a 5 1/2" Senko worm. I'm going to ask for some feedback on what the anglers out there think about it. :-/ thomas

I haven't purchased any yet, but I intend to very soon. thomas

I will surley do some research. Also, as soon as I move to my new address, I'll e-mail you and give you my address. You can then send me some sketches of what you want. I thank you very much for the input. thomas
