Bly Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) During the trip to Lakair I managed to ruin 2 husky jerks (just about all the "paint" is gone) and this evening I managed to lose my last "good" one. I have no complaints as these lures were fished and hit hard, mostly pike and muskie. It was suggested that I seal new ones before fishing with them if I want them to last a bit longer. Great idea but I haven't a clue how to do this. Suggestions?? Thanks! Edited July 3, 2009 by bly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 they probably meant a tough urethane or epoxy clearcoat. choose one from a real auto paint shop, not ctc and walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! easy to make your lures more durable get 2 part clear epoxy from ctc or walmart mix together and to make it more thin(brushable) put a drop or 2 of varsol/thinner mix well brush on lures and let dry (24 hour is better than the quick setting stuff) that coating will be hard as rock repeat 2 or three times automotive clearcoats chip very easily when used on fishing lures trust me !! been down that road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
