Modifying

[watshisface]

Does anyone here have much of a go at modifying hardbodies?? I think I'll have a go at trying to make an Atomic hardz 38 suspend of even just float a little slower??

A bit of sticky weight round the eyelets will do the trick.

Alright... can i find this in a tackle store or what??

Will affect the paint-job but shaving the lure's surface with sandpaper can alter the way the lure's flotation. For example if you sand down the right amount of the lure you can turn a slow sinking HB into a suspender. Wouldn't wanna' do this with some of the higher end HB'S, pretty self explanatory on why

i have heaps of spare packets of lead tape if you want some.
its a bit easier to use and less messy than sticky weight.
pm if you want some

Problem solved, and no more stupid putty

[watshisface]

I usualy alter the size and gauge of my split rings and hooks and sometimes remove the split ring on the tow point. i wouldn't mind having a go at that sticky weight stuff, it sounds pretty good

Oh... and what about sanding the bib n giving the old girls a new paint job =)

Great idea mate. Would trebles be more prone to tangling after such a mod?

[nereus]

Nope,depending how i want them to sit i might stick them on the rear on lures with a radical nose down pause,this also can help balance out a lure during the cast and give you an extra metre or so.

Adding a split ring.... I'll try it it never occured to me before but I've done it to poppers
