What caused that

Don't do anything. Reach out to the maker. He will fix it.

For clear you can always get another airbrush and solely use it for clearcoating. One with a bigger needle. A siphon fed airbrush along with a 3oz glass jar does the trick.

Brushing baby powder on the mold before pouring helps eliminate the super tiny air bubbles.

Proof read that

Most likely you will end up with something custom. Look at hudds for example, it has a foam/lead harness. It will solely depend on your bait and your Intentions. You can buy some high-temp silicone for pouring custom lead inserts.

What's the issue

Yup does great work. Glad to know hes on here too.

Top pic looks like a dockrat. Thats way too difficult for me unless I pay someone to design it. I personally have no desire for carved scales. I prefer a smooth finish, clearcoat looks more professional.

I put vaseline on the rod.

Lurepartsonline and barlowstackle are a couple good online options. And it just depends on the bait/baitmaker. I like to use swivel hook hangers and the smallest line tie screw I can get away with. But that's just me.

That would be like taking away our guns. It will never close. They work under the constitution.

We still have rights(last time I checked) No matter how much fear the media is force feeding us, no man is going to stop my freedom of travel and my right to assemble.

I'd use a size 5 for those size baits.
