Nice paint! Particularly deadly color too! I love throwing something very similar (I think rattle traps doesn't have purple bars though). RTs paint lacks the sweet scale pattern too.
-
Soft baits aren't my specialty... BUT THOSE LOOK GOOOOD! I'd figure a wide gap weighted swimbait hook w/ a corkscrew would work... but you the soft swimbait expert!
-
The paint is great, but I really dig the stenciled mouth... thats very sharp and smooth at the same time! Is this a topwater or a glider (or whatever musky fisherman call them)?
-
can u dump microballoons in it
Hmmm... so how much do you think it would cost you per bait (assuming the plastic was suitable) to do? heck, you don't even have to paint it!
-
Is the next one going to be the size of a quarter too! hmmm... ultra ultra lite swimbaits? im sure if someone can do it, it be you.
Oregon is cool... fishing is a culture shock. bass are not looked upon like they are in the midwest. smallmouth are hated by salmon and trout fisherman. Its been kind of tough fishing for me so far, bass #s seem to be lower overall in comparison to Indiana. However, the ones that you do catch seem to be fatty trout bass! seems like i'll have to jump on the trout swimbait bandwagon and whittle me up a couple for the spring.

Hey whittler! That bait looks familiar
Excellent coloration! Always enjoyed your paint work. The tail looks like it got spiced up a bit since I saw it last!

So was the 4hrs the "best" setting or "fast draft"
Cool stuff! That gizmo doesn't sound cheap.

Hey I have one of those! I got it in one of those "The Producers" $2 crankbait bins at wally world! Paints a little better on mine
Ha! Just kiddin! Nice work rookie! Nice paint too! Did you paint directly on the foil? If you did, would you mind me asking at about what pressure you were shootin at?
-
Ha! Thats neat! I can't believe it actually wobbles too! Nice work.
-
very nice paint! and especially impressive opercular detail!
-
Spoopa that is freakin awesome! Very very neat! Was that done with a CNC machine? Just out of curiosity, how long did it take to make that (just machine time)?
-
That color scheme is sweet! Very nice work!
-
that lure is wicked! Haha! That one of the coolest baits I've seen in a while! Very nice!
-
Haha! That is wicked! Nice paint!

Nice bait! I definately have an appreciate for the smaller jointed baits... haha, smaller as in not a 10" swimbait. Not to bash the big baits, if I had bass in Indiana that would tackle a 10+" swimbait consistently I would definately do it. You definately run out of room fast when throwing in all the components. Needless to say, your baits are great! Keep up the fine work.

-
dang... i feel like a cheater w/ an airbrush now... thats wicked man!

thats gonna be a fish catchin machine! Good color scheme. is that a circuit board lip? How do you like them in comparison to lexan?

I paint my bait first. However, on my hinges I have just one set of eye screws (twisted wire) for each section. I cut my slots into the bait and run a wire up throught the eyes. I paint and clear before ever putting the bait together though. I learned my lesson the first time when I got epoxy on my hinges. Its also much easier to paint each section separate(especially when doing scale patterns). After clearing, I put the bait together (run my wire up through the eye screws) and put a dot of epoxy over the wire hole. It blends in pretty good and you don't have the risk of ruining a bait and wasting the several hours it takes to get to that stage. Thats my worth. Hope this helps.

thats amazing. genious on how u bring out the facial features.
-
I'm not sure how your lure is connected, but I actually epoxy everything separate w/ D2T. I then put it together and spot epoxy to cover up. This kept my hinges completely clean.

wow... thats unreal
