No - I know what you mean about the final stages. Even though I don't love to clearcoat I always have that little sense of relief when its done because the plug is protected. Clearcoating is the last step in the process where I can still screw things up.

I truly enjoy painting That and putting the lures in front of fish.

I hate wrapping tail loops. Someone should make a haywire twist type thinggie and make like a million dollaz. I cant tell you how many lures I have primed, painted, cleared and wired waiting for tail loops...

Domination takes full concentration..

Best part = Painting
Worst part= Sanding, followed closely by drilling.

I like the wiring too, me stupid. I hate, and I really only hate one thing the Yan..... never mind , but I hate the epoxy. I never know if it is going to come out good or bad and being the final operation it just plain stinks when you screw it up. I can do without the turning too but that is an occupational thing. Victor send me your plugs and I will trade labor for plugs as i don't mind tail loops at all, like I need more plugs. P.
