You have good choices in friends. Those are two great individuals... and good fishermen too. In my old age, I didn't make the heavycover connection (duh)... Man I love your site... I have heard nothing but great things about your spinnerbaits....... I have come close to ordering on several occasions.... I think I just got a little closer........ I think you will like the GD100. I just purchased an Iwata Eclipse gravity feed for my own Christmas present (I had a 40% off coupon at Hobby Lobby)... I can't wait to try it and compare. I leave for Alabama late tomorrow and will be back Monday night... I hope to try it out next week..... I am trying to convince the wife to wrap the empty box.......

I have two of them and like them a lot. I have no complaints... easy to use and easy to clean. Airbrush City is easy to work with also......... JMHO.........

Great looking site and great paint work... Nice!

I bought the Bandit 200 types from Stamina. There was a problem with the weight system (the belly weight was stuck to one side and did not slide freely). To their credit, they replaced all of them with a new batch and they work great. Same size and shape as the 200 but with a different lip which gives it a wider wobble...... I have worked up over 100 of them for folks and have yet to receive any negative feedback. I also recently purchased some blanks from CLU. They look good but have not yet had the chance to paint any. My $.02

It has worked well so far...... SR 7,8,9s are my most requested to rebuild and repaint..... so far so...... so good

WOW!!!!!

Dean... you are too much..... I don't want to know how you get that puuurdy redish-brown on the Spring Craws:eek: ..... Dean... you are a great man... I don't care what Rook says about you Rook.. I appreciated the phone call and the great conversation. Thank you very much for your time and sharing of your expertise. It was great. Thanks to everyone who posted... I am now motivated and on the hunt for the right Iwata........ It will come soon.... BJ

I buy all my guns from Dixie Art.. They are the cheapest!!! IWATA is the ticket.. you cant go wrong with any of them.. I own 6 I like them that much. The Rookie Rookie.... I am only going to buy one for now (I have 4 others).... Which one of your six would you recommend? I mean.... if you had to throw away 5 and keep one..... which would it be? Thanks

NOW THAT IS FUNNY

What model Iwata would you recommend? I am looking at a double action gravity feed. Don't worry about the price (That is my worry ) Thanks in advance,,,,,,

www.airbrushcity.com A lot to chose from. I like the GD-100.

Dean.... check your PMs:)

Looks Good!!!

This was sent to me Saturday and posted on the bassfishingnetwork by a friend who lives on Palo Goucho Bayou on Toledo Bend....... "Friday I was going up the bayou when a friend waved me down. She said that she had a crank bait that she had caught on her Carolina rig and ask me if I wanted it. I looked at it and didn't like the black color but she pitched it into my boat and I saw that it was a Wiggle Wart. Got home and cleaned it up in the sink with dishwashing liquid and a scrub pad and lo and behold , it was one that BJ had painted for me over a year ago. After very little scrubbing the finish came thru good as new. I couldn't believe how the finish stayed as new after being in the water over a year. All the hooks had rusted off and the split rings weren't in very good shape but the color was in great shape. It was a fire/tiger color that he had painted 5 or 6 for me. I just wish I had taken before and after pictures to show how bad it looked till I clean it." No this was not some scientific test.... This is a true story about a real crankbait that stayed submerged over a year stuck to a Toledo Bend stump. Once the scum was washed off, the finish was good as new..... no yellowing, fading, bluring, etc...... I guess I can accept that. This bait was finished with Devcon....... BJ

Do you guys spray or brush on........ ??? I will be using some for the first time on some Pop-R types and I was just wondering how you pros do it....... Thanks, BJ
