dtrs5kprs Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I was just thinking about how much of a PITA it has to be to take the lips off those baits.
5bites Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 I'm impressed!!!! I wish I could join you guys on Saturday, but I'll be returning from Lake Guntersville. Can't wait to see who has bragging rights. I see the early line has Babler at 5/2 and Champ at 2/1. Should be lots of fun for everyone. Maybe have to make it a annual event. Thanks again 5bites for all your help. Ken Don't we all feel sorry for this guy!?
5bites Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Those cranks have potential! That's a nice way of saying they'd be good if someone that knew what they were doing painted them lol.
5bites Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 5bites, Those aren't pre-rap DT's. They won't work. Everyone knows that. Nothing pre rap works. Warts, chug bugs, tungsten weights, drop shots... Those are risto raps. They've got a trick up there sleeve though besides the paint. I'm just getting in to this bait tinkering stuff though. So there's lots more tricks to learn.

I've seen Risto's that are custom weighted by a guy I forget the name I believe up north. Last name was Johnson if I recall but not sure. Anyhow if you have one he has "tinkered with" it goes from a $7 bait to about $30 or $40. I've also be playing with Redfin's as of late and tinkering. Took 4 that didn't work and made them with different size bills, angles and weighted. 2 of them were a success while one was a flop. Will post some pics maybe this weekend of them.
Fish24/7 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 nice looking baits 5bites,risto raps are great cranks, I can hardly wait for Spring, I have to paint outside so the weather has to be "painter friendly'
Guest Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 it was 68 degrees in my garage yesterday after work, I painted a few WW in the old V38 pattern you could hear the frogs outside, spring it near
