Thank you Larry!
Essentially I am looking to make a large Twitch Bait similiar to a Mirrolure/Bagley Mullet.
My plan is to
1- Make a two part mold out of synthetic Clay. For the mold I will use High Strength #2
2- Create a through wire system to lay inside the two piece mold ( line catcher, belly hook, tail hook) Based on your advice I will use the Brass Wire provided by makealure. As I want this lure to be heavy, I will add lead weights directly onto the through wire.
3- Cast Lure with RC-3 Black. Black is the color I am going for
4- Sand then coat the lure with Alum UV
As I am looking for this lure to sink - do you think it is necessary to add micro balloons?
When waiting lures like this do you want the weight forward or aft of the belly hook?
What do you think of the new inline hooks by VMC/OWner? In my limited experience they seem to not let go once on but do not do as well at hooking as tradtional trebles.
Any other insite would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you in advance for your kindness.
