Thanks very much Dieter. I've wanted to do a Suick Thriller and with my being basically lazy this is so much easier. Think I'll "steal" a couple of those paint schemes too. bill

Dieter, A quick question on the gliders you made from Muskie Pattern #2 on the luremaking site. Did you use the same body width/height ratio as the plan? Your cross section seems more squarish but that may be the angle of the photo. I'm thinking maybe 5 1/2 and 7" versions. bill

Thanks, I was aiming for a generic perch look. I was pleased with the orange wash that settled into the scale pattern. I've started collecting pics of lures that I thought could be acheived via brush. Another 100 or so tries and I'll have my own style. bill

Thanks. Still getting used to using a paintbrush. -
Finished brush painting a couple of practice blanks with Createx on one and Jo Sonjia on the other. We'll see how the fish like em. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/index.php?/gallery/image/11975-beginning-hand-painting/ bill

Trying my hand at hand painting. These are 1/2 oz wlure blanks. Top is white Krylon Fusion primer with Createx color. Bottom is silver Krylon Fusion with Jo Sonjia acrylics left over from my decoy days. Both are top coated with Devcon 2T.a

Littleriver, Good deal, thanks for letting me know. I'll try it on the wood baits I've turned. The plastic stuff is intended for practice painting, maybe I can get a similar base with matte spray white. If not I'll try Krylon Crystal Clear matte over the Krylon white. bill

It's funny but I'm having more problem with a paint brush than I used to with an airbrush. Keep trying to go realistic when I want impressionistic. I did a lot of decoy and decorative bird carving years back. That was almost all realistic except for a few "slick" style decoys. All Acrylics over gesso which was suited to blending washes of color. The first lures I've done are unpainted plastics with a primer of satin Krylon Fusion. Tougher to do washes without runs. I suppose I should try a coat of Createx primer airbrushed. bill

Hey Mark, thanks good to see you have a sense of humor. No tourney involved just fun fishing. bill
-
Oh you haven't lost me. In fact picked up 30 plastics to practice on. I need to either place a Createx order or go get some Apple Barrel from the craft store. -
I can only hope, we'll see tommorrow. Thanks Diemai. bill

Well Mark's nail polish lures have gotten me to experiment. Goint to a Muskie lake tommorrow that also has rainbow trout. Wanted to test some new plastic minnow baits I bought so I did up a trout. Results are in the gallery and yes I have a ways to go before I come close to Mark's results. Overall body is gold/green transparent glitter polish from the dollar store. Rest is waterproof markers. Side stripe is red muted down with alchohol wipes. bill

Not nearly as nice as what Mark Poulson does with nail polish but I thought I'd experiment.

You may also enjoy this Polish blog. http://1939handmadelure.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html The first two months of it are brush and sponge painting. Third month he has a picture of an airbrush so I assumed he was using that afterward. I keep taking different things away from all these sites. The Polish blog showed me how different dilutions of color can produce varied spots. See some of the trout lures. Also showed me how a spot with very diluted color where the color dries to the outside can be a good thing. I always thought of it in terms of being a negative. bill

Thanks. I guess I need to order it even if most of my stuff will stay simpler. bill

Ben, What's your opinion of the DVD? His shipping is a little excessive but where else can you find that type of info. I searched youtube and google with little results. Actually the old decorative bird carving videos I used to have would have been of use but the player died long ago. I emailed him and he said it was actually faster for him to use a brush so he wasn't constantly cleaning an air brush. bill

Can you believe this guy's stuff is brush painted? http://s140.photobucket.com/user/jrhopkins_photos/media/20130108_7563_zps1255d3c7.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1#/user/jrhopkins_photos/media/20130108_7563_zps1255d3c7.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1&_suid=1379537812645014743496851162702 He sells DVDs on his site. I'm almost tempted when I saw how beautiful they are. http://www.johnscrankbait.com/Pages/default.aspx bill

I've tried the same searches. The only brush painters I came up with are Diemai, Littleriver and Mark Poulson (if you count nail polish). I tried hand brushing of Creativ this am and so far it's ok. I hate messing with an airbrush. bill
-
Thanks for the comments. Since I'm experimenting with these I was trying to go for a range of colors to see if I could find a "hot" combination for the lakes I'm fishing. I still need to learn to blend the different colors together. I'll try a few with bigger blades. bill -
Careyb1975, I've got that book also, which of the lures have you made from it? I've cut out blanks for the panfish prop and the minnow chaser but haven't gone any further. The minnow chaser intrigues me as a Pike & Muskie lure. bill
-
This is a great thread so far. I'm looking to make some 4" or so jerkbaits/gliders for the Muskie & pike around here. I'd go bigger but my heaviest rod will only throw up to about 1 1/4 oz. Dieter, Those last 4" gliders you posted have got me tempted to use some of my prop bait blanks & weight them. bill
-
So true. I'm sensitive to CA glue and also just discovered to nail polish also. Can't believe I used to pour lead in the basement 30 years ago. Sheesh. bill

Looks and swims great! bill -
Nice video! I really love pike. bill
