RiverMan Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 I dip my baits in a product called polycrylic, let dry and then dip it in a primer/sealer paint. After that you can use an airbrush if you have one with createx paints or just buy a few rattle can colors at Wal-Mart and go to work. Go to the tutorial section to learn how to create scales on a bait. After that open up your latest issue of BASS or Cabelas, choose a simple pattern you like, and do your best to replicate it. Have fun. Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishBooger Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 As a top coat for pike/muskie lures use multiple coats of 2 part epoxy like Envirotex Lite or Devcon (30 minute). I use E-tex - if both are available in your area, you ought to try both and find what work best for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
