Legendary Lures Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Here's my Rainbow Trout pattern: 1. Make lure body, pre-drill the holes and undercoat it. 2. Brush paint it yellow. 3. Sides are pink, brushed on. 4. Using a stencil made from a plastic coated playing card, spray paint the head green. 5. Spray the back green. 6. Use a toothpick to make the black dots and red gills. 7. Insert eyes. 8. Clear coat, twice. 9. Assemble the lure. 10 Go fishing! It may not be a true to life RBT, but the fish seem to like it.
