If your lures already have the lips in place, take a scrap piece of 2x4 about 6 inches long, take a clothes pin and super glue it to the piece of 2x4, then lay it on your work bench so that the clothes pin faces up in the air. This will hold your bait in place on your work bench, and you can also turn the bait around as your painting the top, sides, bottom, etc. Or if your painting wooden baits, I would go with Chips idea, still use the piece of 2x4 bit instead of the clothe pin, use a square dowel and insert your nail in one end, glue it to the 2x4, facing up, and then sit your wooden bait on top of the nail as Chip described in his earlier post.
