mrbass85 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I’m new to Tackle Underground, I’m glad I stumbled on this web site. I want to start painting my own crank baits. Had one question, have any of you guys tried using Bare Metal Foil to foil them? Thank you in advance for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) No, I have not, but I went to their site, and it is, to quote Artie Johnson, "very interesting". Edited October 23, 2012 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbass85 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thank you for the welcome. I have used this foil on my model cars, I have never painted over it, but I have shot urethane clear on it. So I think it will ok to use. It comes in different colors. Also where is a good place to buy blanks? I have found some from Dakota Lakes website. Just trying to see what else is out there. I have herd the ones from Jann’s aren’t that good. I want to start with the plastic blanks before I attempt wooden crank baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Try http://www.predatorbassbaits.com/ and http://bustinbassbaits.com/. They both sell unfinished crank bodies that swim well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
