great looking lure and a great foil job. is the foil easy or difficult to work with? Richard -
looks great!!!!!!!!!! photo blurr is easilly corrected, i have been taking photos for over 30 years and i may be able to help with the blurred photos. not meant to offend you, i hope people will help me when i post my first photo of my lure. try this:. switch the camera to "macro" zoom in to desired shot hold down on shutter button 1/2 way, this allows the camera to focus on the object, after object is in focus. . gentlly squeeze the shutter the rest of the way richard -
i am just getting started and i think the lures look really good, great job!!! how long have you been painting lures? do you use a template on the red gill?? if you don't mind me saying something about the "blurred" photo ? if you are using a digital camera you need to switch your camera to "macro" and then zoom in and hold the camera shutter buttion 1/2 way down, this allows the camera to focus on the object and will take an actual size photo. i hope this will help you an the photo's as for the lures they are great. i hope i can get as good as you are on the lures. i am a rookie at the lures.

should i take steel wool and lightly sand between each coat of paint. i use createx water-based paint and the finish is a little dull. does the epoxy bring a shinny look to the finished lure? snooterfish

the poe looks better than the orgional, i am new to this, is the third one from the left coated with an epoxy or is a clear coat?? richard -
i have been admiring some of you guys crankbaits that you have painted they look great also and i was wondering if you use a regular airbrush to get the thin lines such as the gill or do you use an air pen, paint marker ? i have been working on some lures and i am ready to begin with the gills and they need to be a rather fine line. my brush has a #2, #3 and a #5 tip. is one of these ok to use??? snooterfish
