Thread: new bait

Kind of reminds you of the Fin-S-Shad. Very nice swimming action. I like the thin forked tail. Good movement when you shake the rod tip.

It is a quiver type of bait.

Bob and G3, what do you think about if I took a thin wire, dipped it in black paint, and painted perch striping on the chartruese body? Would it hold up on the plastic in the water? Or maybe taking a hot needle and scortching a few stripes? Permanent marker? Just thinking outside the box before I screw up some of the ones I got. Why don' you two try it and let me know what works.

You try it on yours and then let me and Bob know OK.

you cannot take regular paint and put it on plastic it will not stick it would be easier for you to use a marking pen or use spite-it .

What is spite -it? Is it the same as spike it? Never thought of that. Does it come in black? G3 if it works out I will post a photo. If not you will know I screwed up five of them. Still might try a hot needle or permanent marker too. That is what old geezers do. We experiment and have fun trying.

Let me know what you find out. I've seen some great perch patterns but not sure how they do it

spike-it it is a plastics, paint or plastic die you stick your plastic bait in it and pull it back out and let it dry please note, this stuff has a tendency to crawl up the plastic baits . So if you paint the head. It will gradually crawl back to the tail which a neat affect I do not think this stuff is meant for permanent fixture it may work when you're fishing out in the boat. I believe that's what the stuff is made for is you can change the color of your plastic baits on the spot. please note we are post to get a different so Lucian of this from the main source I have not heard back from them yet and we were post to get samples. I haven't seen them either. So when I hear something. And when I receive the new stuff this post be for commercial use. We will pass this information on to you guys.
