jr1945 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 found this gift bag at the dollar store and thought it would look good on a lure. i cut it up and soaked it in hot water to soften the paper backing and then rubbed the backing off leaving the thin mylar film. used spray adhesive to apply it and then topcoated it with d2t. looks great in the water with a lot of movement and flash.

heyvern Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 did you make the swim bait? if so what did you use for the dorsal & tail fins? Vern Quote
jr1945 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 'Purdy' brand paint brush bristles. they have the best color for fins that i have found. Quote
heyvern Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Can you show how it's done or is it a trade secret? I have been making mine out of old plastic worms remelted and cut to form, they work but I'm looking for a better way or different way. I don't like doin the same-o same-o know what I mean. :-X Vern Quote
