Thank you everyone. I guess I’ll do the warm almost boiling water and lay them out.
I just dip mines in boiling water for 20 second or so. I then just lay them flat and they will be as straight as you lay them out.
My tried method = fine, stiff(eg.- stainless) length of wire...thread your bent baits(including Gulp) straight down the middle. Heat gun on low or let them sit in the sun. Be careful with the Gulp, however, they will firm up(which is a good thing) too much though ruins your effort. Hope this helps ya.
Thanks for checkin' on me! CURIOSITY takes me there, SUCCESS ushers me back!
