My "Titan" swimbait. Next to it is one of my baits from my last post.

In this pic, none of the hardware is epoxied in place, and it doesn't have clear coat on it yet (the tail isn't fastened on either). I don't have a drying wheel, so what would be the best way to finish it? Should I epoxy in the hardware and then topcoat it? Or should I coat each piece before connecting them? :-/

i would top coat each piece individually, it will save you a lot of trouble. at least it saves me trouble... :-/

oh and if you're into naming baits, you should name this one Mako oops didn't notice that you already named it lol

[edit]oh yeah, i didn't say the first time around, that bait looks sick![/edit]

I clear each piece on my swim baits.

Nice looking bait!
