Captaing

I've done a few like this.....lay your colors....put two different nets over the bait.....lay your next layer.....take off one net.....stripe it or place more color.....remove last net.....finish it....you'll just have to experiment but it can make some awesome results.

Howdy..My name is Bob Gunderson, from Williston, North Dakota. Married, 2 kids. Started making my own jigs last year and powder coating them along with powder coating spoons. Decided I wanted to start painting my own crankbaits, so I went on YouTube and found Jake from Dakotalakestackle.com showing how "easy" it was to paint crank bodies. Love that I found this site so full of like minded people that are all very eager to help us newbies and answer any questions I've had thus far.

Yep....airbrushing.....

I can't hear or feel the wind thru the cement down here either ..and as long as my furnace's pilot light doesn't get blown out in this 60 mph wind today I should be ok.

I've read the stencil topics with the guys using a silhouette cameo, but see that they now make a smaller unit called the portrait and was wondering if anyone had used the portrait? The cameo goes for nearly 300 bucks and the portrait is only 150..... And the only difference I can see is size of stencil capability, and there is no little LCD screen....both of which I can't see making a huge difference being as most of us will only print out 4" stencils. My wife won't be happy with either purchase....but the that's why I spend all my time down in the basement anyway

I ordered 60 of the painted ones for just that purpose Let me know what you find out from wlure.....it may just be a different salesmans site so the get credit for the sale?.....but if they have the blanks and it's legit I'll order them too

LPO has discontinued them...I called them...and they're even in their new 2014 catalog.....and they don't know how they made it into the catalog I have ordered from wlure....and this link shows it's wlure's website, and they have them instock....but I'm a bit worried because when I go to put in my account info at deal2search.com.....it says I don't have an account..and I do have an account with the www.wlure site....so do I dare order them from this link showing they have them?...

I've been scouring the net looking for upm9 blanks as shown on luremaking.com, and dhgate. I called lm and they have it listed in their 2014 catalog, but say it is now discontinued and they don't know how it made it in there. Dhgate has it listed, but out of stock. I found pre-painted ones for .80/per, and have some coming, but if any other walleye fishermen out there know how hard it can be to tune in a reef runner 800, then you know how scared I am about these. I've got two fellow North Dakotans in Dakotalakestackle and Tekoutdoors.co that read this forum, and I just wish they had a good inroad to where I can find my deep running minnow blanks as I would prefer buying "local". Thank you in advance to anyone that can help.
