Swimbaiter23 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hi guys, I'm making a nezumma-Woodrow rat hybrid that I am in the process of. I'm hand carving it with a hand planer and knife. So for it is looking pretty decent but I have a question... Do I attach the bill and hook hangers before sealing (masking off) or after with some redrilling. I am new to bait making as this is my first one. I have a Woodrow style joint so I don't think I could assemble the bait and then seal it. However, I feel the lip could pose a problem...... I am using red oak for the wood and I am going to seal it in a boat varnish. I am not going to paint the bait because I believe the grain and red color of the wood is enough. Thanks for your time and I will keep you informed. God bless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace D Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'm not sure if boat varnish will do the same thing but I know when using super glue if you get it on the bill it may melt the plastic. I don't think it really matters what you do first as long as you take your time and make sure all wood is covered by either sealer or the epoxy used to attach the bill. bassing305 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimbaiter23 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks I think I will just dip the parts and drill afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimbaiter23 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I have been doing some research and I am seeing more and more Super glue (CA glue) sealing. I have a lot of zap a gap from fly tying so that is not an issue. What are the pros or cons of Ca glue sealing and how do I go about sealing with it?

Ceaser Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Squeeze the glue on, rub it in, sealed. And by the way, "woodrow" style is not a thing. That bait is the same basic design thats been used but alot of people. Pb rat, ab rat, rago 8-ball, morning woods joint is similar and most came long before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
