I want to drill a hole in each of my pike lures so that I could add some split shots into them to make them heavier so that I could get more casting distance with them and make them dive deeper. Do you know of an epoxy or resin that I could use to seal those holes in my fishing lures? Would that 1-hour Loctite Epoxy be a good one to use? What I want is something thick enough so that I can maneuver it and shape it into the holes that I have drilled and then smooth it with a piece of sandpaper after it has dried so, therefore, I don't want anything too runny so that it would fill the entire cavity of my lures, which would only kill the sound of the lures since my lures are hollow inside.

Nice work and great editing, fast forward is fine. my only critique is that the eyes are way to far back to be anatomically similar to a fish... if that's what you're going for. Oh and the tan color is pronounced (See Pee Ya) 🙂
@FrettholdBaits
2 жыл бұрын
This model is called the "Cuda" after barracuda and is based off of a 16" jointed barracuda I made. So the eyes are set back a little bit because the "nose" of the bait is a predatorial snout. Also, I love how eyes compliment a paint job so I go with 16mm and I like the eye set back farther because of the carved eye-socket I do, plus it leaves more material in a potential weak point of the bait. They may look a little far back if you're thinking Bait fish but theres a reason they are where they are - but I get it. As for Sepia, thank you. I feel like I've heard other people say it say-pee-ah so I must've picked that up somewhere. Now I know.

Western Red Cedar. Lure ran great but never caught anything on it unfortunately. I use Alumalit Amazing Clear Cast as top coat.
I understand that a lure resembling a musky should have the eyes placed back a ways. But when the eyes are always placed back off the nose I think they look extremely goofy. Fantastic professional work however!
always add a mid coat before you use any kind of tape....4050 or Minwax Polycrylic...I made the same mistakes tens of times

I can get away without it if I let my paint completely dry and cure. I really should've done a mid coat but I always rush these baits for the videos.
Nice work and great editing, fast forward is fine. my only critique is that the eyes are way to far back to be anatomically similar to a fish... if that's what you're going for. Oh and the tan color is pronounced (See Pee Ya) 🙂

This model is called the "Cuda" after barracuda and is based off of a 16" jointed barracuda I made. So the eyes are set back a little bit because the "nose" of the bait is a predatorial snout. Also, I love how eyes compliment a paint job so I go with 16mm and I like the eye set back farther because of the carved eye-socket I do, plus it leaves more material in a potential weak point of the bait. They may look a little far back if you're thinking Bait fish but theres a reason they are where they are - but I get it. As for Sepia, thank you. I feel like I've heard other people say it say-pee-ah so I must've picked that up somewhere. Now I know.

It's a spoke shave. The cheap one on Amazon.
Ever tried polyurethane waterbased varnish as a mid coat?

Old family secret recipe. Any basic wood sealer or sanding sealer will do. I'm also a fan of Brotherhood Baits sealer if you can manage the fumes.
