Crank Bait Nut

Did My Take On This Color , I've Never Been Able To See One In Person , Only Pic's. The Pic's With Writing Is A KO 110 , Shows How The Bait Looks With Sun Light and Limited Sun Light. The (4) Baits I'm Holding Are KO's 95's. I Used (6) Different Colors To Get What I Thought Was Colors In The Picture. Mike There Are (2) 110 Kasumi Tigers "Used" On Ebay $120 and $130.

Thanks Numb ,

X2 With Cadman , I Don't Use A Lure Turner and Know Guys That Don't As Well , That's From Knowing How To Apply A Thin Coat All The Way Around. I Put Two Coats Of Devcon 2 Ton , 30 Min Epoxy On All My Custom Baits. I Posted A : How To Use Devcon 2 Ton , 30 Min Epoxy Here On This Site , The Credit For The Write Up Goes To A Guy Name "Skeeter" From Another Fishing Site. Mike

Mick , You Had Me Really Thinking In Your First Post , Then Your Second Post Cleared Things Up , Laughing. I'll Say This , When First Starting Out , Anyone That Wants To Use Epoxies , Use The Syringes. After Sometime You Will Be Able To Use The Squeeze Bottles and Just Trust Your Eyes , I've Been Using The Squeeze Bottles For Sometime Now. Mike

Great Work On Your Baits. Mike

You Can Through About Anything , With The Grass 2 to 3 Down , Small Crank Baits , Spinner Baits , Chatter Baits , Traps , Swim Baits , Jigs, Top Water Above The Grass "Killer" , Jerk Baits Along The Grass Line. I'd Go With 15lb Fluorocarbon. My 2 Cents Mike

Don't Under Estimate There Small Mouths , I've Caught Many A Smallies Off Of DT 6's. The Color I Use Is Chart Sides with Root Beer Back. Mike

Not A Big Fan Of Photo Finish Stuff , Good Job On Those , Pumpkin Seed Is Nice. Mike

Thanks Everyone .... Mike

Reason It Was Tacky , 1. Not A Equal Amount Of Both Parts , 2. Did Not Mix Long Enough. Glad To Hear It Worked On Your Second Coat. Mike

Thanks Travis , I Painted It. Mike

It's going to take over night for the epoxy to set , dry to the touch, Hang it up and if you want another coat then do it the next day. I don't ever fish my baits for a few days after , just to really let the epoxy set up hard. Mike

Finally Got This Painted How I Liked , Could Not , Wait To Fish It , But I Ended Up Breaking A Piece Of Bone Off In My Right Hand , Had A Operation To Remove The Piece Of Bone , In A Cast Until Mid August. Can't Even Paint. Mike

Hope The law Can Catch This Person / Persons , Best Of Luck To You Getting This All Worked Out. Mike

Its Just One Of Those Issues That Comes With Fishing , Mike

Local Angler In The Area Was Under Suspicion For Some Time , His Local Club Decided To Take Action , Prior To A Tournament They Observed Him Placing Fish Into A Holding Basket , They Removed The Basket and Marked The Fish , During The Weigh-In He Was Approached and Admitted Cheating , But Only In This Years Tournaments. I Haven't Heard If The Bass Club Will Try and Prosecute Or Not. He Was Winning Many Of The Tournaments Over The Years. Note: He Always Wanted To Fish Alone and He Was Seen Many Times At Night Spot Lighting Around Docks as/well Used A Underwater Camera Attached To A Pole , I'm Not 100% Sure On This , But He May Have Been Shocking The Fish At Night , I'll Try and Find This Info Out. Mike

Good Baits , I Have Several Of There Swim Bait Floaters. Mike

If The Bait Is Cleared With The 2 Part Epoxy , There Should Be No Issues. From looking At The Pic , That Cracked Balsa Appears To Be Damaged Were The Paint Has Cracked and Separated From the Wood. Should Be A Easy Fix. I Would Not Go With Anything Else Other Than The 2 Part Epoxy. Again My 2 Cents Mike

X2 With CJ , On The 2 Part Epoxy , Word Of Caution , Once You Mix The 5 Min Epoxy , You Will Only Have About A Full Minute Before It Starts To Set. My 2 Cents , I'd Go With The Devcon 30 Min Epoxy , This Will Give You A 5 Min Work Time. If Your Not 100% Sure What To Do , Send It To Me and I'll Re-Clear Coat The Entire Bait and Ship Back To You. Mike

On The Tough Bite Days , I Pull Out My (Storm WildEye) 2 in Blue Gills , Mike

I'm With A-Jay and hatrix On The Spinning Outfit , Getting Use To Using The Spinning Outfit , Gives You One More Weapon Out There. Hope The Bait Caster Set-Up Works Out For You , Mike

If That Big Girl , Doesn't Want To Bite , Your Best Chance Will Be When She Comes Off Her Bed , She Will Be Looking For Some Big Meals , I'd Throw Swim Baits and/or Jointed Floating Swim Baits. Slow Cranking Them. My 2 Cents Mike

What Are The Water Temp's Of The lakes Your Fishing ? At This Time Of Year I Fish A Lot Slower Due To The Lakes Water Temp / Post Spawn. My 2 Cents Mike

That's A Nice Build , She Will Enjoy It. Mike

I've Been Thinking Of Making My Own As Well , I Had Someone Making My Soft Plastic's , But They No Longer Pour. I Just Don't Think Any Plastic Bait Like Worms / Craws / Grubs / Trailers Are Worth .55 Cents or More Per Bait. When You Break It Down Per Pack. Mike
