sealing lures

[Bly]

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!

they probably meant a tough urethane or epoxy clearcoat. choose one from a real auto paint shop, not ctc and walmart.

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

the problem will be. the husky jerks will be to heavy. they are not designed for heavier top coats.. if you must try circa new lustre 55. mix exact.
