has anybody seen this bait ,or tried building one?

Looks better than my first one.One of the best tips is to use some kind of netting to spray through.Before long you will find yourself looking at all kinds of different things and materials you can spray through.

I've seen the Envirotex spray in the WASCO catalog and wondered the same thing.I can't seem to get regular E-Tex to work correctly.

that's kind of what I thought about the braided line. wasn't sure about the wide gap hooks. Still not sure about senko's vs worms vs c-rigs

1 Createx 2 Createx 3 Cteatex 4 Createx Not trying to be funny, but starting out you can't get any less trouble free than Createx. You can experiment later with other paints but learning how to use your airbrush and getting comfortable with it is most important when starting out. Createx is easy to use and relativley inexpensive.

Has anybody ever fished it.We are going down in about a week,it is supposed to be great trophy bass fishing,but they have some restrictions i'm not sure about. 1. No wide gap hooks 2.No braided line(It's all flooded timber) 3.only Gamakatsu hooks 4.No senko type baits but you can throw flukes,and plastic worms 5.No Carolina Rigs just curious about some of the rules,probably sponsored by Gamakatsu,but the braided line thing,I don't understand. why can you throw plastic worms and not carolina rigs.If anybody has been or have any ideas please clue me in because I can't figure it out on my own. Hope to have some trophy pics,when I get back.They say there are 80-100 bass 10lbs or over caught every year.

there was a video from the TU get together on the homepage,shows how to make a inexpensive vacum form. I would have to look around to find it now since the sight has changed,but it is here.It is very informative.

Thanks guys, I gave it really thorough cleaning,I'm back in the game.Thanks for all the help and I like the suggestion of straining paint now I am going to have to sneak the wifes pantyhose.

I am using a VL Paasche with a #1 needle.I called myself cleaning it, but will really break it down and clean it tonight.

I don't think the needle is bent.If the needle is not centered how would you correct it.

Ithink I know the answer but I will ask anyway.When I spray, the spray pattern shoots off to one side or the other.I'VE Cleaned it,no change .It's a new needle and tip,and was working fine on the first bait but on the second it started doing it.Am I going to have to buy another needle or is there something I'm missing?

Those look great. I'm like you I slink around on this sight, and finally put a couple of mine in the gallery. It feels good to have your on pictures on the sight again great baits.

I've missed something what is CA glue?

[The easiest and least hassle free is Devcon 2 ton epoxy

It's amazing how you can have good airbrush days and bad days.When the days are good this is a wonderful hobby.but on those bad days it will make you cuss.Good looking bait.

I guess it is the size of the pics,when you enlarge.You see every little flaw.Thanks for the compliments.

[ It is a very eye opening view.

I added some photos to the gallery.It's the first time I have posted any pics,they look alot different on the computer.I will have to improve both on my painting and my photography.
