Tuna Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 A folding crankbait stencil or one side at a time? Which is the preference for you? I'm just a newbie but I assume the folding stencil might easily scratch the paint?? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I go one side at a time, but it really is a matter of your skill level. If I was better with my hands, I think you could get away with a folding stencil style. Most paints I use would not scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodieb8 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 we do one side at a time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I never had much luck with folding stencils. I use non stick stencils that you can simply flip over to do both sides. Dry them first, of course, and you can save them for future baits too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted December 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Thanks for the replies. Any of you do "off the wall" patterns say like french fries? Really don't think the fish care. May be something a bass fisherman just has to have. Yes, we can do one with ketchup on the ends. Grilled cheese might be another good one. Hey, I got it, a daredevil red/white painted style. I know, it's Friday night but I really haven't been drinkin, just the way I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
