re: Wadd Needle

I’m curious to know if you have ever used or do use shellac as a finish on any of your wood bodied lures? I wonder if fish can ‘taste’ or smell the oil-based finish on the lures, regardless of how long they have had to dry/cure. Shellac is hard, durable, non-toxic, eatable. It dries faster than any other finish I am aware of. It also dissolves itself, so at a later date you can use a new application to rejuvenate the old. It’s also a very shiny finish, coming in clear to various shades of amber.
