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.
HERE ARE SOME I HAVE DONE

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..
