And can I use oomoo 30 for 2-piece molds or is that a bad idea? simply adding air vents to the highest points of your mold. oomoo does work for 2 piece molds too but its flappy as hell so personally i prefer to use stuff that is more rigid.
  3. i assume your having trouble in attaching the axle to the part that spins, the axle on my discoball motor has a hole in the middle, all i did was drill a hole trough the spinning wheel contraption and and then another one from the side so that i could then pin the motor trough that hole.
  4. thank you i'm pretty fond of them too
  5. some of you might have seen these ones already on various social media sites but here's some new trout colors i've made, like always i'll keep the japing to a minimum and let the pics do the talking for me. -Mikko
  6. back with a vengeance :lol: . most of the spots are still iced up over here but thats ok cos i have time to make some baits when i wait for the white stuff to thaw. anyhow heres my new trout swimmer i can honestly say that i have spend the most time on this model than any of my previous ones and i think it shows. enjoy the pics

And the wire you use for the thru wire system do you order these at lureparts.nl? hey there i've covered that scale carving thing on a video of its own unfortunately it seems like its blogged i some countries and on mobile devices ( cos if music in the background even though you can barely hear anything but the youtube algorithm that seeks copyrighted material does not seem to care about that) i use wire that i get from one finnish guy who sells it on one of the biggest finnish fishing forums.

What kind of action do you get from the pike with the small plastic lip on the tail? if you go and google "river run manta" the pike glides quite similar the plastic tail gives it more stability when it glides thus making it glide just little bit further than it would without the tail part
  10. thanks bruin88 i'm gonna try and do more of those painting tutorials this winter here's some recent baits i've done, i guess the one good thing about winter is that i have plenty of time to practice lure making when i cant go fishing ( not a big fan of ice fishing)

  13. Quote: Originally Posted by Seachaser1 Good stuff! I have not read every page, but did you paint, cast, or carve the scales? well if you mean on the last bait the scales are hand carved on a wooden bait first that i then used as a master to create a mold that i can use to cast those jointed swimbaits.
  14. thats a bit steep for a lure but hey if you have money to spend why not.
