SUPER SWIMBAITS ROUND II
This is just a more detailed version with photos of before and after.
Along with a step by step from beginning to end how to.

ITEMS NEEDED TO MODIFY A SWIMBAIT
1.Mini Butane BernZomatic Tourch w/Ignite Button
2.Aluminum Tray, Size May Vary
3.Multi Colored Glitter,Purchased At CVS
4.Extra Containers For Custom Colors

Ive actually done this to about everything possible and it really enhances its look and increases bites and catch ratio compared to its original versions.
Go head and give it a try and find out how well it works to catch more fish.

Step.1 Prepare work station by selecting a safe and secure location with a fire extinguisher handy just in case, Lay out items needed within reach.

Step.2 Prepare swimbait. If a new swimbait is used it will have to be washed because diffrent oils reacts to the flame and may ignite or burn.
Old ones just a quick rinse to remove any old residue.

Step.3 Lay chosen washed swimbait in aluminum tray, open chosen glitter color container,ignite torch and begin with slow steady passes over swimbait untill the rubber starts to become clear and liquefies evenly on swimbait.

*Height and flame setting will vary depending on swimbait thickness and
rubber type used by manufactures.

Step.4 Then evenly pour glitter over swimbait and spread it around with finger
after a few seconds remove swimbait shake off and brush off any loose glitter into tray,then gather glitter in trays corner and out away from flame or swimbait once returned into tray.

Step.5 Repeat Step.3 and Step.4 on opposite side of swimbait making sure there is no glitter on swimbait or burn zone before swimbait is heated because glitter will burn and will turn into brown ash.

Step.6 Collect remaining unused glitter from tray and save in either same colored container if no mixes were made or in a new one if custom mix used.

this is actually the most realistic way to mimic scales on fish.

I do this myself, and it really does make a lure more appealing to fish!

I don't want to try this with my Hudds, lol. They are already too realistic. The glitter would probably just mess them up!

post some pics of your modified baits....

Belive me FireBall....it gives it such a realistic look and will increase your catch ratio.
Try it on something else first and you will see what im talking about...

Ive fished the same bait without the mod and the results will show..the glitter won.....

Just an FYI on the huddleson--
Your rigth Fireball you probably will not want to try this trick on your huddleston because unlike other swimbaits the huddleston is actually painted. Most swimbaits either have the color directly added to the plastic when they are poured or if they are injection molded they get their color from a film or fiber underneath a clear plastic body. If you torch huddleston you may end up burning the paint but other plastics baits which are not painted should be fine.

Other than that this is great tip. Thanks for sharing.

i already tested the hudd and it works fine....i simply torched it lightly and tapped it with my finger and it was sticky just like other plastics and had enuff adhesive to pass my test, with no bad reaction from the paint or plastic.....i will glitter-scale my 6" and post it tomorrow after i come back from fishing...lol

I was just going to say that. I will not thread jack anymore! LOL

Does the glitter come off or anything when you catch a fish on them?

[Fishbones]

yes it will slowly come off the bait and ive found that after i used it a while.
you can take a small hand brush and scrub off the glitter from the swimbait and re apply it again in your choice of color
sometimes when the fish hits and misses the bait the glitter falls off and it looks like scales and makes them react even more..

[BIGRED KILLA]

Im gonna do that to my nails.




Bigred

[Fishbones]

Im gonna do that to my nails.Bigred

You microwaved them? Haha, nice! I wouldn't try that because I would worry about the fumes in my house, unless I did it outside. I'd like to see the pictures.
