basicly nobody has cracked the whole story yet or we would all use the same lure. when it comes to color difrent fish see them diferently and all are difrent to us. so an exact match on the deck of a boat is meaningless. coulors change at various depts for example you cant see red at depth without artifical light. ultraviolate is a pritty important coulor with lures but is rarly used becase the fisherman cant see it. visability changes color. refletion changes aparent color transparincy is a bit important. but even that is insignificant becase fish will only chase what it can catch as in its dying or slow ect, or anoyes them enough and provokes a responce. noise is a important to get right too

hi all im new to fourm and fairly new to tackle making only done lead molding and a little fly tieing. rod and reel repairs ect im stating to paint my own tackle. well repaint all those ones that just dont work you know the ones obvious catch th fisherman colors. i realy want to use artist acrilic paints as there cheap and realy easy to get hold of i have tryed these before but found there not great. they are hard to get them to stick to metal (lead) and mold if the get wet. but i did not undercoat or seal them. im going to try these again this time with a proper under coat and dry really well then use a good enamil or exterier clear varnish so my questions finaly 1 is there any hope of this working i intened to use on (metal and plastic) 2. when striping old lures what should i use. standered paint striper or somthing else ? 3. under coat what should i use? the cheaper the better 4. best easy to get outer gloss seal btw i simply cant aford a airbrush much as id like to hope ye can help donal
