I'm curious as to how and what people use to remove masking tape and excess epoxy from finished lures. I am especially having trouble removing the tape that I wrapped the lexan lips with before epoxy coating. I don't want to damage the finish or scratch the lexan. I am a newbie and find this site and content to be fantastic. Maybe I should be removing tape before epoxy coats and coat lips evenly as part of the finished lure? Thanks for all the great advice in advance.

Hello All Eyes, couple more questions for you if you don't mind: 1) What type of epoxy are you using? 2) How many coats on this lure? 3) Total weight of the lure? 4) Type of wood you are using? Thanks! -
My version of a Fire-tiger pattern. Still got a ways to go with paint. -
Another variation of a Burt style Muskie bait. -
My first jointed bait using the same pattern as the other Jerkbaits that I made. -
My first attempt at creating a Sucker Jerkbait. I used a downloaded pic of an actual live sucker. Need to make stencils for fins and gills similar to what All Eyes does, he's my secret inspirational friend. -
Another Bert style Jerkbait in Perch Color, made from Poplar. -
This is a Jerkbait of my own design, made from Red Cedar. -

You must be a Muskie Fisherman, too. Where are you located, I thought I saw something that said you were in Canada? Lake of the Woods?? I am just starting out making my own Muskie Baits for personal use. I could only dream of ever getting as good as you are with the paint jobs. These are too pretty to even throw into the water!! I will be posting pictures of my first attempts soon. Thanks for the inspiration!

These are absolutely beautiful. You are truly a gifted artist. I have never seen better detailing. I make my own Muskie Baits, but can't hold a candle to you! -
Very nice, how did you paint the gills, using a stencil, airbrush or by hand?
