rlcam Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 The first two are my first attempt at foiling.I used stick glue and foil paper from a gift bag.The others are some of my first repaints that I posted before,just took some better pics.All criticism (good or bad) welcome.Still using the old rattle cans....Robert I painted these for a friend at work.The one on the right is supposed to look like a trout that he showed me in Bassmaster mag. Pop-R ,modified lower jaw,so it will spit instead of pop. Repaints Coming soon....more repaints I just can't stop,anyone have any extra lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Robert, Those are really looking great. Are you still using rattle cans??? If so, those fantastic!!! Either way, you really starting to gain skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 @ rlcam You did a great job , they look far better than my own spray-can colored lures , I just don't take the patience for achieving such neat looking baits . Also like your first foil lure , I'm planning on my first one as well , with your pic you have already helped me a bit , otherwise , I guess , I would have attached the lip before foiling .

MTfishingrods Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 WOW! And with cans. Simply amazing. And what an awesome job for a first foil. This man gets hold of an airbrush and look out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampionBoatGuy Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Dang! Those look good for a rattle can. If I could do that I wouldn't have bought an airbrush. What are you using for the scales? I'm still on a quest for good 'scale' stenciling material.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodieb8 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 very cool. im useless with a rattle can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Great looking baits. You are a master with rattle cans, for sure. Do you use a clear coat for a top coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlcam Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) Yes, Spike-A-Pike I am still using the rattle cans,but not for long I hope. @ rlcam You did a great job , they look far better than my own spray-can colored lures , I just don't take the patience for achieving such neat looking baits . Also like your first foil lure , I'm planning on my first one as well , with your pic you have already helped me a bit , otherwise , I guess , I would have attached the lip before foiling . Greetings , diemai Diemai,thanks for the good feed back.The foiled one is a Stanford that the paint cracked on,I just took the bill out before I started.These are great around riprap,and thats what I patterned my own after(with a little mod's).All of my Stanfords cracked,I guess it was the way they prepped the cedar before painting. Dang! Those look good for a rattle can. If I could do that I wouldn't have bought an airbrush. What are you using for the scales? I'm still on a quest for good 'scale' stenciling material.... CampionBoatGuy thanks for the kind words.I get my scale material from walmart in the craft dept.They have a couple different sizes. Great looking baits. You are a master with rattle cans, for sure.Do you use a clear coat for a top coat? Mark thanks again,I seem to be able to count on you for good feedback(you must feel sorry for me ).I started out using Krylon Clear Glaze and clear coated all these but I didn't think it was going to be hard enough for rocks,it dried pretty hard though.So I thought I would give the D2T a try.These have D2T over the clear glaze. I have got a few more I am going to post including a Bluegill pattern that I tried...Robert Edited April 24, 2008 by rlcam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captsully18 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Really awesome. You get good scale effect, even on your foil (I am real impressed with that job). Looks like you maybe used a scale material under foil?? What ever you did it sure works. Fantastic. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic.David Captsully,yes I used the same netting under the foil that I paint scales with.I thought that was the way you guys did it,if I am doing it wrong let me know.

Heck no, man. I've always been told there is no wrong way, just different ways. I did a foil job a couple of weeks ago using drywall web tape. It was awful, stripped all off and started again. Refoiled (with Dean's helpful advice) without any netting underneath the foil. Those baits came out better. But I will try your method this weekend, 'cause I like it. Airbrush? You don't need no stinkin' airbrush! Like some else said (Ithink) you are a master with rattle cans. Keep up the wonderful work David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny.Barile Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I second that on the drywall net tape. I just finished foiling a bait that I used it on today. It doesnt look so great..............but it is way better than the paint job I attempted to put on it at first. I did this to try and save it.
