Transparent is see through, translucent is able to see shape but not clear, colors aren't thick or thin, they are saturated. I dont know who started these terms in the bait community butbits all wrong!
Where’s the link to your baits that you’ve made!! Want to support you, keep up the great work! Love the powder cat coverage and lesson was very detailed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@eliwolfe9067 I don’t actually sell baits right now but I appreciate it. I just don’t have enough time to keep up with trying to sell baits at the moment
Awesome looking bluegill color. I am starting to get I to making my own tackle and I was wondering how you got the jig head to have that blue shine and the orange on the bottom of the jig head?
This jig head was dipped in the magic craw blue pro tec powder. Then I took a paintbrush and dipped it into the orange powder and sprinkled it onto the bottom. Then sprinkled some black on the top 🤙
There is a difference between them. Typically a Dye is a color that bleeds really bad so if you laminate it with another color it will bleed into the other color over time. Dyes are usually a little more translucent as well
Ya I think it has to do with how fast that salt settles. I think it makes the bait slightly heavier on one side which leads to the gliding motion. I could be completely wrong tho lol
@@michaelbarbieri9871 for a standard football head I use the mold below with an Owner 5304 hook. barlowstackle.com/Do-It-Football-Weedless-Jig-Mold-P260/?afmc=198 For a shakey head I use the one below with VMC 7247 long shanks hooks because I like screw locks but if you prefer no screw lock then I would go with the Randy Howell shakey head mold barlowstackle.com/copy-of-do-it-screw-loc-shake-it-jig-molds/?afmc=199
Awesome video. My observation was that the table salt senko had the least quivering/ shimmy of the lure tips on the fall, which I think is something important on a wacky rig. I personally think the Bait Plastics salt had the best action.
@@Senkomaniac I agree with that. I was really happy with how well the flour salt mixed in but it changes the color of the plastic a lot which I didn’t care for too much
@@N2TW_customlures Absolutely, can you make me some of these? Electric Chicken, solid Pink or Chartreuse? I'm going to Canada in late August and the lake is filled with smallies and Walleye, mostly smallies.
As an aside, if you ever want to try a more premium hook for that same application, I've heard that the Gamakatsu B10S fly tying hook can sometimes be substituted for that VMC hook... Food for thought!
Jacob, love it!!! I've been making some similar micro spinnerbaits using the Poison Swingtail mold - love taking a traditional design and using a little ingenuity to downsize it. Well done!
@@N2TW_customluresthanks for the cool video. Just a question on the wire that you put the blade onto, does it not bend open when you are pulling on a fish?
@@Senkomaniac I have never had a wire bend open on me. Even on full size bladed jigs and catching larger fish they stay closed. I’m sure if you had a heavy rod, heavy line and set the hook like a linebacker then there is a potential but it’s never happened to me lol
@@N2TW_customlures cool thanks man. Appreciate what you do for the bait making community. You have inspired me to make my own lures and turn into a nice side hustle.
Great hook for that bait. Everyone uses round bends. I do not like them on spinnerbaits and swim jigs. I started using the weird bent Trokar's on my spinnerbaits. Landing percentage greatly increased over a round bend gammy.
Enjoyed the video! I’ve always wanted to try a small chatterbait for crappie. I’ve had great success using bladed road runner type jigs for crappie and I think a small chatterbait would work as well
@@N2TW_customlures I’ve been wanting to downsize since I fish a lot a skinny water. I believe in what you said, sometimes the fish don’t want a monster bait
@@craigvandyke9298 it’s just some 3M double sided tape that I leave the plastic on the top side to keep the hooks from sticking to. I’ll link it below a.co/d/iL0qOEI
Hey, you don't have a problem of your Vibrating Jigs coming apart? I've had a few come apart on retrieve and i reel back just a blade... i was using the STW130 and bending completely closed in the hook eye... may be bending too much and making it brittle 🤷♂️
@@calvinnegrete913 I’ve never had a wire form break on me using these wire forms. I’ve had a couple start to wiggle a little because of the soft lead but never actually had one break or come out
I believe so, i thought those would allow the eye to open up up due to the force of pulling the vibrating jig. If you hook the end of it in the hook eye, the opening where the blade attaches looks like it would open up... i guess not.. I'll try them! It can't hurt anything!
Absolutely!! We have used it in several videos in plastics. There are other guys who have also used it in airbrushing paints and clear coats for hardbaits 🤙
@@N2TW_customlures I've come to the conclusion I am not a good enough camera man to get the colors out of them LOL. I tried a photo booth but its the same thing
Awesome video! I had to try your recipe so I finally bit the bullet and ordered some powders from 8bit. Finally made this color today in a 3.8 riprap and it is mind blowing
That’s awesome!! Ya these 8Bit powders are unbelievable in person. It’s hard to capture on camera the full effect but they are truly incredible in person 🙌
Man, going through all your videos, very instructive! 👍👍👍 But there is a mystery you must unveiled: what's the story behind those burning marks on the left side of your workbench? 😂
Well I appreciate you watching them all lol. And as far the burn marks that was my drippotamus (lead pot) 😂 I plugged it in and started doing something else while it was heating up and next thing I know it’s puking lead all over the table lol. That’s why I now keep it sitting in that little metal tray lol
@@N2TW_customlures watched every minute. I just got into making swim jigs for my kayak club on the Potomac River. This pattern is very close to what a lot of the guys throw during the Summer.
It depends on that trailer you’re using but I would probly drop down to a 1/0 size. I’ve even made some micro chatterbaits in the 1/8oz with a #1 hook and they work great with thinner profile trailers
