Net Man Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 OK. I see a lot of good looking bait in the gallery. So how do you guys get the gills painted that look so good? They are sharp and look like a sticker. I use a stencil for mine and they don't look anything like that. What is the secret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL Rods Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 just experiment with using tape cut in the semi circular shape and apply that to the bait, then you want half the paint sprayed onto the tape to create a feathering and once you remove the tape you will have your clean line on the outside edge. You can shoot a simple curved line shape by cutting out a stencil but the tape will give you that feathered look. If you want a second line just move the tape further away and spray again. Just remember to spray the first one closest to the front (eye) of the bait and then move the tape back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
