Campobassmaster Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Is there anywhere I can buy these to replace for one of my new styles? I was clearing the skin on mine to try and do my own wrap and the shell morphed somehow............ Or am I just going to have to try and find a broken 250 or something. If anyone has an outer 250 shell hit me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlant Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Gotta be careful using chemicals on silicone..some will work some will melt your sh!t..some may work on the skin and melt the plastic bait..you got quite a boneyard going basskickinrednick, Lakeshark, Jpratt and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 So what were you using to clean it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campobassmaster Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 So what were you using to clean it? Nail polish remover, mostly acetone based. Weird. Well we win some we lose some, It was a project bait already, might chop it up and make it a 3 piece for sh!ts n gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hollow..if you cut the plastic body it in half its more f'd.. rogers954 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaknh Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Maybe fish it without the skin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campobassmaster Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Maybe fish it without the skin? I was thinking of that, do you think it would swim without having a tail still? doesn't the tail help direct the glide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campobassmaster Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I didn't have a ton of nail polish remover left to use and I soaked what I could of each side (the bloated parts obviously, and it's a disaster but that's what I get for tinkering Edited May 2, 2017 by Campobassmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campobassmaster Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 You need the tail ballast The ballast as in like it levels it out? theres not any weight in the tail besides the plastic itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thastickybandit Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Did you wash the bait with soap afterwards at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campobassmaster Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Did you wash the bait with soap afterwards at all No I didn't, After I rubbed it down with acetone the skin was still all gross and weird looking, that was before I soaked it. It generally "cleared up" but not nearly as much as it should. I went off what deefeesha told me before he wrapped a 250 of mine some time back, he said he would soak them in acetone sometimes.

Volfan Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Put the skin back on the bait, and then very slowly use a heat gun or quality hair dryer to get it back into shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealandhunter Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 put it back on as is haha looks like a trout with a fat tumor, probably wouldnt swim straight though asavamedhi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
