Share tips on making and painting lure etcs.



Salty when painting, would spray paint work just as fine???



Anyone (other than salty) paint or make their own baits?

HF ,
Spray paint is very hard to controll when painting a small surface like a fishing lure. Air brush works alot better as you can fade colors w/ airbrush or use a small artist brush.
Use toothpicks to do small details like eyes ,gills, dots, etc.

Just sprayed the last coat of "bone"



So tooth picks work fine for like detailing (eyes, gills, etc.)

Yes they do....Just remember to practice on something else before you start with the lure...also you may want to take a pencil and draw what you want on the lure then paint it on...

I use to carve my own baits, and paint them with paint brush. Here is a popper below that i carved/painted, just never took the dremel and made the popper part.



Never thought of using a tooth pic though. Thanks Bluechip.




What yall think of a bone color she dawg with red gills, and red belly, kinda like this spook

Just be creative and pick a color....If you can talk your mom into going to Hobby Lobby or another craft store you can find those "stick-on" eyes that have that glitter look to them like the other baits..

If you use these just use a little glue when you put them on and they will not come off...

Cooollll....sounds like a good plan to me.....Give it a shot, if you don't like it all you have to do is sand it back down and start over....

Bet it looks like a Rat-L-Trap. NEVER use a belt sander or any other sander. Start with 400 Grit wet-dry and then go to 600. ALWAYS sand with water.
