Can't See Me

[Salty]

I've had many requests to paint a lure with a duck hunting pattern. I thought about it for some time but never really tried. Last week Chicken asked me about painting a lure for him as a "keepsake". He axt about duck hunting. So, I started thinking about it, but, never could come up with a pattern that would incorporate duck hunting, but, still catch fish.....until, I looked at a pic of a drake mallard. Here's what I came up with.

sweet lure... is that a camoclad wrap?

It's a Saltyclad wrap. ;) I got the pic off the interweb and made the wrap.

[SaltERedneck]

interested to see how the bait performs.

[meaux fishing]

thats an interesting idea... looks pretty good too

[Salty]

Here's the first one I did just to see if it would even work.

[SaltERedneck]

mossy oak duck blind would look good on a bait

[meaux fishing]

are you gonna clear the whole thing?

[Salty]

There are some neat patterns on the interweb that they call "camo". I found a lime green one last night that I'm gonna maybe try.

[SULPHITE]

Thats cool!

[Salty]

They have a coat of Devcon epoxy and 4 coats of Dupont Chroma clear. They don't look shiny? :eek: ;)

No different than out of the box. That jerk is loaded with rattles and tracks very true. No doubt they'll catch trout.

Can you post a pic of that "duck blind" stuff?

[SULPHITE]

yellow green white grey......sorry you just piqued my interest...duck hunting and fishing...i'm in.

I think the pink would be cool on a lure. No?

[Goosepond Monster]

That's really cool. I like that the mallard provided your inspiration.

Is there a specific site they are on?

If you have any skitterwalk blanks I will definitely take a few mallard patterns - if you can pull it off :smokin: but none of that camo stuff like on chicken's bait...

That camo works, heh? :)

I ain't paintin' no feathers. :rolleyes: :shaking:

[mikedatiger]

I ain't paintin' no feathers. :rolleyes: :shaking:

i'll throw in an extra pack of cigs...

[Armand16]

I would be interested in a UL or LSU "keepsake" lure. I can just imagine you painting the L and your hands begin to shake out of control..... so maybe the UL one would be better...

I've painted probably 100 "LSU" lures without any added stress. It's a good thing you want it for a "keepsake", cause, as far as catching fish....it won't even score. :p :smokin:

There are no Skitterwalk blanks that I'm aware of. Just let your buddies throw the topwaters. All you need is a Bomber. ;)

[Armand16]

Already sold 9 to 2coolers. ;) :smokin:

Y'all gotta shoot me a PM with the blank you want and what you want the pattern to look like. A clear pic will do.

All the topwater "planks" I got right now are listed here.

There aren't many aftermarket topwaters available. That's why I suggested you send me the One Knockers or whatever you want.

I got a special pattern picked out just for you. :rolleyes: :smokin:

[Harley123]

it's got to be a short special pattern salty right
