Can you make a jointed swimming crayfish lure, so it undulates as it swims like a dolpin swims? So up and down and not side to side. Of course crayfish swim backwards too

[@zimmtex]

I've got an idea drawn out for a crayfish. Having it swim like a dolphin would be really difficult, I think. But this one would have buoyant claws that wave around in the water, then you pull it backwards in the water and make it click.

Been struggling to get the right action out of my wtd bats and you have given me a few great ideas about how to improve the bait... Especially the fostner bit/weight idea! Would it work if you made a cavity big enough so you could do screw in weights and get a floating wtd... Suspending/slow sinking wtd... And a sinking wtd? I'm going to try it!

[@zimmtex]

Interesting idea! I've never attempted anything like that but I hope it works out for you.

[@BOSN_BAITS]

I have goosed that idea around as well just haven’t come up with a good way to do it yet so if you do please share

[@ManuelIrizarry-j5s]

Great job as always. Do you allow time for the resin to degas before you clear coat?

[@zimmtex]

Thank you! I really do try to give everything plenty of dry/cure time. Otherwise you really risk bubbles or even delamination.

[@albow4oops5]

Very nice

[@zimmtex]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@mabukfishingluremfl5706]

how many grams? for sizing micro balloons for top water baits? I want to try making a wtd lure 10 grams resin

[@zimmtex]

The final weight on this one is 26 grams. I would experiment with your resin and and see how much micro-balloon powder you can get in there and still pour it.

[@fishingwithhouse]

If I did it right I gave you a mention on my channel. Love your work, wish I had your talent.!

[@zimmtex]

Thank you very much, I appreciate your support!

[@BOSN_BAITS]

I have actually gone back looking for this video thinking I have missed it so many times lol

[@zimmtex]

Now we have the complete set! I appreciate you sticking with it and watching!

[@BOSN_BAITS]

@@zimmtex hey you keep making videos then your stick with me lol And I know why it took so long you got going on the grouper got distracted ( epic reason for distraction )

[@blind_eye_fishing]

Looks pretty good. Dont think id use high dollar kbs thinner to clean my brush though lol 91% alcohol does a good job of that for me.

[@zimmtex]

Thanks for the tip, I'll try to remember that!

[@blind_eye_fishing]

@@zimmtex I brush kbs on swimbaits/jointed baits that I can't dip. I can't take full credit for the tip though lol a long time bait painter shared it with me lol

New sub good stuff

[@zimmtex]

Welcome to the channel! Thanks for the sub!

[@dominicregos4902]

Have you ever considered molding and casting an actual crawfish then making it into a crank bait?

[@zimmtex]

I didn't think about that. I do have a design for a crawfish lure that sits on the bottom. Great idea!

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

walking the dog was also Roger Clinton's go-to

[@zimmtex]

:)

[@process77design]

Whats the purpose of clear coating befor the detials are painted? Is it just a smoother surface to work with or is there another benefit I'm missing?

[@zimmtex]

It's a smoother surface, but also I wanted to get multiple layers of clearcoat for a more durable shell. KBS technically reccomends 3 layers for marine applications but I only did 2 for this one.

[@simonelucchese8687]

​@@zimmtex hi friend... Can you help me??? What's the kbs? Where did you buy it? Time to dry? Thanks in advance.... 🙏👍

[@LuisAlviña-j2t]
