Larry,
Thank you so much for all of your help and assistance!
I am planning on building a few twitchbait type lures for Tarpon and Snook ( Mirrolures and Bagley Mullet style). I intend to do this as follows:
1- Make a two part mold using synthetic clay and high strength #2 (
2- Construct a through wire system line hanger, belly hook, tail hook. As I am wanting this bait to sink I will be using weights on the wire. I will use Black RC3 to cast the lure
3- I will then seal the lure with Alumi UV
a couple of questions are:
1- As I am interested in this being a sinking bait would you recommend that I add microballoons?
2- When weighting the through wire would suggest that I add the weight forward,aft or both of the belly hook?
3- What are your thoughts on the inline single hooks made by VMC and Owner versus traditional trebles?
Any and all assistance woudl be greatly appreciated.
