Popular Post MarkSpolarich Posted April 12, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I remember when I first started painting lures and even building a few how this site was the only source of information. Unpainted blanks were limited to a few sources and were tempermental sometimes to fish. You could ask people on this site how they painted a color but you still had to work through the process all by yourself. We even had to learn how to blend colors thru trial and error. I leave the "business" for several years and now you can find a multitude of sources for unpainted crankbaits, youtube videos showing the entire process of painting any color pattern imaginable, and even sites with painting tutorials you can print out. While things have changed one thing remains constant. This site still remains as a great source of information and full of very helpful people that will assist in any way they can!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tendelta Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 It is amazing the talent spread thru out all areas and the willingness to provide their knowledge so kindly without the desire to gain personal income from what is surely is the art, not just making a bait to fish with, that is thought to be locked away in the big business of lure manufacturing and development. When viewing the remarkable paintings and reading the vast hours placed into the creating and testing just one lure, it becomes clear that it is a desire to create an art of a object that every normal person would say "why don't you just buy some live minnows?" but no, not until they have created a masterpiece to rival a live prey. I thank everyone that freely gives to us their talents, and god given drive to create. Reno Replogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogAddict Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I think if someone has to ask why we do what we do, they just don't get it and they may never get it....which is fine. Each to his or her own. If everyone built lures it would be harder to find the supplies! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's a journey or the challenge as they say. If you leave the hobby it lures you back. We try to create the perfect bait to the fish or we try to paint a masterpiece. Oh well, it's what floats your boat. But whatever it is for each of us......we all got the virus.
