I've been using Helmsman Spar Urethane and have never had any problems. I spray a couple coats after painting so I can do the detail without screwin' up what I've already done. Then I dip the baits 2 or 3 times and let 'em drip. Hook rash is gonna happen with any clear coat. I like the Helmsman 'cause it's just thin enough to dip, so, I don't have to spray it 99 times.

Just an estimate, but off the Calcasieu River this year so far, probably close to 80-90 bass.

Spray the color then dip the whole bait in clear coat? They come out pretty clean seems like they would have some streakage, anyhow they look awesome let me know when you board I'll send some of my old one your way haha

It "runs" until it flows out. You have to clean out the hook hangers. Haven't found a way to dip jointed baits yet. It screws up the linkage.

If you and I were in the same boat and you found a topwater bite.....I would put at least 2 fish in the boat with that "Chicken" Bomber to your 1 on any topwater bait. That, my friend, is a fact!
