Now that is what i am talking about thanks for the input guys. Two heads are better than one. Bruce I have made them out of Titanium. Yes expensive but possible. $43 bucks a pound and changes daily. Last year at this time was $21. The epoxy on the ends before grommet sounds good too. The single hook set up is easier for me too. I originally made for bass but someone told me they would work for small tuna types too. The small one is almost 2 oz. in stainless. The alum you can weight to what ever you want. I can make any size just need imput from people that fish for these species, I have not been lucky enough to. White is possible. Hell you can spray paint the stainless ones any color you want. Thanks guys More ideas please. Paul

I'm not sure how powder paint is applied, but could you do all the wiring first and do the painting as the last step ?

It is sprayed on, electricly charged and then baked in an oven. I guess you could do it that way I will have to talk to the guy and try a few this winter. Good idea. P. |

You can hard coat anodize them which is the way to go with a durable finish for aluminum but it is expensive and the colors are limited. P.

Mill some chugger head holes. Fat in the front tapering (aluminum would probably be the best bet to keep it light)... kinda like a popper cept the holes catch air and leave a bubble trail (Like the trolling lures).
toona/dorado go NUTS over that.
not sure if it'd work, but it'd be an interesting experiment.

Another good idea. Funny I was just last nite drilling a long piece of stainless and the drill melted down and I was admiring all the Kool colors. Never dawned on me to do it on purpose. I am on the horn today to get a few stainless ones powder coated to see how they last. Figure if the water gets under the paint it will not corrode the stainless and shouldn't be visable. Started on 15 new stainless ones late last nite to try and finish by late Aug. for trade 's. Going to be tight but if I just give up sleeping I should be ok. Thanks

Visited Paul last night at his shop. Man! He has got some beautiful stuff there and now I got a few too. Thanks Paul, enjoy the skin plug, it's a rare one so you may want to turn a few before sending it out to the sea. I still can't get over the sand eel rake head. Outstanding work! Thanks Again , Steve S.

I'm not familiar with that stuff but if you are I am willing to send you a few. Can you apply it over the powder paint or any paint for that matter or just to the raw aluminum. I'll send a couple for you and a couple for me .  Paul |

yes it can go over anything. painted, raw, powdercoated, chromed. just needs a little bit of grit to grab to stick well.
wont stick to polished.
