Paulownia painted with acrylics covered in tabletop with stainless hangers and lexan bib -
Balsa painted with acrylics then covered in tabletop with stainless hangers and G10 bib. -
This one looks pretty good. Look forward to seeing some of your own baits. Vic -
The paint looks good to me. And nothing easy about reproducing this shape. These rounded shapes are always the hardest to me. Really good job keeping them basically the same. Using a pattern? The toe eye looks high on this one. How does it swim? Vic -
Mike the CLIT bib is destined to be a hit with fish and fishermen. The action will surely catch bass. Thank you for sharing the photo and info. Nothing worse than having a CLIT and not knowing what it is good for.

Thank you Brad, This color pattern was one of Boot Anderson's best. He used it on many of his lures built from the 50's to the 70's. A hot rod color pattern if there ever was one. -
Thanks Sam . Really glad you liked it. That beauty mark just came to me while painting one. I have to say the moment I put it on; the bait takes on an attitude.
-
Thank you Dieter. Glad you like it. Hope the fish like it. -
Thank you gentlemen for you compliments. Crankpaint you got it exactly. This is exactly what this bait is about. Taking old school style and mixing with a modern bait build. Fifties flames on new charger with a modern hemi under the hood.

Very nice bait! Is the bottom pic taken with the lights off? Glow in the dark paint? -
This is a bit unconventional but I now use one of these http://www.lowes.com/pd_55452-353-562-03_0__?productId=1245703&Ntt=dremel&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Ddremel%26page%3D3&facetInfo= Works well if you have a dremel or similar tool. Pros Clean cut any wood any angle. Works easily with best vice on my bench the "hand" so my lure is not marred or damaged Can make any size hole i wish. One tool does it all. Cons Slow Slow Did I say slow Vic

Hi Mike Sorry I can not help you with dorado pattern. Your baits look very good. The cupped bill on you Molly bait is different. What does this do for the action on the bait? Also like the curves on the bait . The shape is also different. Really like the Chopper as well. It and the one below it have the bib built into the body. Very nice work! Thank you for sharing . Vic

Hi Mike, Welcome! Look forward to seeing your work and hearing your insights. You say another place to hang. Where have you been all these years? Vic

Wow! It is huge. Took some mojo to bend such thick material. You'll need a swivel. Looks to be a spinner. -

Brilliant! Thanks you Dieter. Have you tried glass beads? Good video. Gotta love fiddle music. Vic p.s. We have to get you some US coinage. I have no idea the size of those German coins.
-
Thank you Dieter for showing me it is possible! I had all but given up on brush painting my lures. I really like painting this way. Thank you again Vic -
Looks great Mark! -
Really like that shape. The paint looks really good too! -
When you spray, it is like thinning it. A very thin layer is applied to the lure will appear much lighter than your mix. As more and more layers are added, the darker and closer to your mix it will appear as more and more paint pigment is added to the lure.

Try adding a bit more green. If a greener chartreuse is desired.

Great catch Patrick! Where are you fishing?
