Can't See Me
 

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.

interested to see how the bait performs.

thats an interesting idea... looks pretty good too

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

mossy oak duck blind would look good on a bait

are you gonna clear the whole thing?

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.

Thats cool!

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?

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

One of the most recognizable creatures on earth.

Its for inspiration...:smokin:

W is another. ;) :smokin:

I just noticed that you changed the colors? Why? :confused:

LMAO :rotfl:

Trout love pink. :cool:

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

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

Is there a specific site they are on?

I just googled "camo pattern".

well I can see the head.... but I kind of lose the rest of the body:cool:

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:

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

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. ;)

LOL... FB link?

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

Good lookin stuff salty!

sammich

Hey....u told me 50 times u was sending me a top water...I guess u forgot????

You ain't never sent me the one to refinish. I ain't got the kind you use. I'm sittin' on geaux, hoss.

Thats neat

Salty,
Those look excellent !!!!
I would also like a UL THEME!!

Geaux Cajuns!!

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.

Post a pick of your top water planks

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:

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