    Would you be kind enough to link those premade bills. And I really enjoy all your videos. I don’t think there is one that I haven’t seen. You’re definitely my go to source of information, if I want to do something new, like chroming baits, or building the tools to do it. Thank you for bringing this community, just an astounding amount of information and technique.

    I fish in the area around Ocala and I get some on that pattern. I do the best in the darker waters with jerkbaits that I stained the wood with tie dye and coffee grounds. Yellow with a brown back and dark green with a yellowish belly are the best producers and I get a lot of giant bass on them. Lately I’ve been getting them best on 2-1/4” crankbaits but I won’t stop making my jerkbaits so I’ll be ready when the fish are😊 I think you should make a clear jerkbait with the polycarbonate layers and have a bit of foil inside and do a translucent honey yellow with a brown back. I think that would be the ultimate weapon for Florida bass.

    @@EngineeredAngler I was saying you should make one. I’ll consider making one when I come up with a cheaper material source unless I happen upon a polycarbonate window somewhere. You could prob get a good video doing one similar to the liquid deal but have a wobbly piece of foil on springs like a shimano flash boost. I know you can pull that one off.

    Hey Franco where did you get that bib? This was a really well done video by the way. I've seen you do the top slot before but I didn't understand the why. Your explanation was perfect. I also liked that you explained how the UV-resin cures from light transferring up through the bib. I notice you use UV resin a lot instead of super glue and after I thought about it I realize I'm always frustrated by the friggin super glue running or spider webbing and getting all over the place including my fingers. Seems the UV is a lot easier to control.

    I have watched you airbrush straight from the bottle many times. Do thin your paints first? I cannot get any of my air brushes to spray paint straight from the bottle unless I thin it first. What air pressure do you use to spray? I love your videos been watching for two years and have learned a lot about lure making. Thanks.

    Nice Video! I just discovered your channel a day ago when watching the video about Lithium batteries. I have watched several of your lure building videos & it is quite interesting. I was wondering if you would have any idea's on how to repair the Rapala ScatterRap Minnow type lures? It has a round curved lip & I can't find any lips anywhere to replace them with. The Rapala ScatterRap minnow has a problem with the lip coming out of the lure. I thought you might have some idea's on how to fashion a replacement lip. Also I wonder if anything can be done to the new lure to re-enforce it somehow so that the lip wouldn't come out in the first place? Thank you!!!

    I'm pretty sure that concave lip is integral to the plastic body. That means it would be very difficult to replace it with anything. I think the only real course is to go out and buy a few more. Good luckI

    That's the problem it has a balsa body & the lip is just inserted into it & falls out easily. It has happened to me about 4 or 5 times already. I wonder if I could drill a small hole through the top of it & put some kind of pin into it?
