I remember Canalman use to put some kind of grit in his paint ,making the texture bumpy on the plug .. Reminded me of cieling grit you add to paint for texture .. Also some peeps are glueing scale fabric to plugs and foiling over it .. looks pissa .. Every plug I've ever seen this done too I'd never get wet ..

What's a peep? What I am looking for is the scale fabric....
While sniffing aroud the net I found this ...http://www.taxidermy.com/cat/09/maczscaler.html
but I am not 100% sure how well it will work on plugs...I may want to try though

Raven: I don't think bass can "scan" a baitfish with their lateral line. To do that they would need an "active" type of sonar and send a "ping" or a "click" thru the fish. As I understand it, the lat. line is a passive set of nerve endings that can pick up vibrations in the water, not ping. That said, it is sensitive as I know that "blinded" fish have been able to track down prey using it.

Sandman...you are probably right, they might not send but they sure have a heightened ability to recieve small inconsistencies in their environ....

I couldn't find the scale fabric but maybe you could use one of these scale mats and pour a thin layer of flexible plastic...if you are making a proto with scaled body to cast others with this would be easy to manipulate and wrap around the body of your proto

Scott,

I am talking with a laser engraver now and asking him to give it a try for me. But I want him to try it on a flat piece of wood first and not my wood master.
