First of all Dave....even on the ones that come out fine...the stuff just does not hold up well. It goes on fine, then the hook swing quickly begins to wear it out and then it begins to come off in sheets.....I think it gets to a point where the water gets under at the spar varnish and causes it to release....you ever coat a plug with spar varnish and put it in the ocean? It comes off like jelly after a few minutes! The plugs wear better if I just painted them and fished them! I just don't like the e-tex for all the trouble of putting it on (with a brush no less) it does not wear nearly as well as it should! I don't mind the fish beating the hell out of it....but I am talking plugs who have yet to see a fishes maw!!! Got a test plug with auto urethane.....no problems with being in the ocean and it wears as I would call normal under fishy conditions and I can spray 100 plugs in no time if I want!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
