clemmy Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 There are many excellent painters on this site tat could likely help you. The most experienced that I could reccomend would be Tim Hughes; Hughsey on TU. http://www.hughescustombaits.com/ Clemmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy G Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 That tournament wouldn't happen to be on Bull Shoals, in Arkansas, would it? Just asking because I just painted 12 baits for a guy to use in that tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboy17 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 no it isnt, its on ray roberts lake on the 12th of april, i live in texas and this is a local club tournament the lure was part of the old academy brand, the fish hit so hard and so much on the color it will break at one point during the outing is how aggressively they attack it in the spring its a lot like bill lewis blue gill red out in the spring in east texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy G Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I was just wondering. We are having our annual Tyson tournament on the same date. It would be hard for me to meet that timeline with my work schedule. I would like to wish you good luck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I agree that Tim would be an outstanding choice. You could also try to send an email through the site to Blades and Baits. That is John Prior. He is killer at matching paint colors, plus he is an excellent painter. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeter Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah... Sellers is a good choice too. Considering your turn around time, I would contact Tim Hughes. The guy is a painting machine. If anyone can get it done in time it would be him. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
