Here are some more lures lures sporting this certain paint pattern sprayed trough slid-on rubber-O-rings .

The green lure on top was my first one done that way .

The two diving jerkbaits are made after a sketch on www.luremaking.com , free downloads , musky jerkbait pattern 2 , the lure with the rotating head is a "Whiligig" , the flat sinking jerk is an own design , that I named "HumptyDumpty" , due to it's about egg-shape:huh: .

greetings , diemai

Neat patterns for sure Diemai. If I tried this I would worry about damaging the yellow and orange base coat when removing the bands. Yours look super clean and undamaged.

I find it more tricky to take care about short spray shots to avoid dripping under the rings . I let final coat set for 24 hrs. (also BEFORE sliding over the rings) , then I carefully cut open ALL loops of the O-rings , DO NOT just slide them down again . Once cut open , some parts of the rings would fall off on their own , when they were under tension , the ones remaining stuck , you would carefully peel away from the lureblank , just in a way like you would peel a banana . When all are removed , carefully use your fingertips to gently wipe over the pattern , this breakes away small paint portions , that potrude a bit , finally clean off with a dry brush !

For cutting the rings I utilize scalpel-like hobby knifes , these consist of a thin , metal handle and an interchangeable short blade , once got a set of them , cheap Asian made , at a supermarket sales , but you could also call in a RC-model-shop for so-called "Balsa Knifes" , these should be similar . If nothing else at hand , you might also use just the blade of a "Stanley-Type" carpet knife , but best is a very pointed triangle blade , that easily slides sideward between rings and lure , the cutting edge than 90
