How to repaint spinnerbaits?
Use enamal spray paint in the can and after it drys I put on a coat of epoxy, or flex coat rod finish. I don't buy into the idea of spinnerbait head detail..I dont't think it makes that much difference. T

Wise sayings from two very wise men "Adjust a small sapling when small to keep it straight because once it becomes a large tree it cannot be straightened out" "Spare the rod and spoil the child" Wise words for parents...As the father of 4 kids over 20 I followed those rules and it works. T
