I've been using helmsmans spar varnish for a while and I like the results but now that I am working on maple swimmers I was worried about weight gain from the 1 hour soak I usually do.

I just took the big maple donny's I was working on and took a rag and wiped the exterior down with the varnish. In a day or two once they are dried I'll dunk em to get the insides sealed. I'm hoping that doing the outside first will cut down on how much gets soaked up when I dunk them.

Wow.. I have heard they are very expensive, and tricky...don't always give you the desired action, demands constant change of colors on the bucktail and hardware, wants bronze at times, nickel or SS at others, and you can't use them for 5 days or so out of every month, tempermental too, I have been told if they find out you use another lure, they will never let you use them again.....

I was trying to hold off until plugfest but I've been working on a scratch and sniff fishing lure .. patend pending ..

I remember years ago Hab mentioning tung oil


you may find that different woods require different sealers, some may work well with a mixture of tung oil and varnish, some may be fine with tung oil thinned, some woods do fine with propianite. You have to keep in mind it's a system and primer has to be able to adhere to whatever you use.

I know they used lacquer for the top coat... not sure about the sealer...

And what slip said is dead on.... different sealers act differently for different woods...

This is DEAD ON,,,,, The only thing I can add to this is that the softer the wood the more important it is to harden the blank before primer, paint and epoxy or your plug will break like and egg the first rock it bounces off.
