FERG DADDY

I might be the only one, but I cant get the picture to work.

Anyone know a cost comparison between True Coat versus multiple coats of KBS? Do you mask your lips when you dip them? That sounds like a funny question, but I’m sure you know what I mean.

Okay.........thanks for the additional response.........you likely saved me (and others) time and money with that.

I appreciate the comments and information that has been shared so far. I look forward to trying the True Coat and paper towel trick.

I promise this isn't the same old question. I have a more specific request. I've read probably close to every post on here regarding clearcoats, so I'm not just hoping someone will summarize the vast amount of information that has been shared here. My question/questions.............what would you recommend for a large batch of musky lures? I'm looking at doing approximately 15-20 lures at a time. I don't want to say cost is not an option, but the overall quality is more important to me than the cost. I apologize if this is too similar to all of the other questions about top coats.

Finally making my way back to this post after a few years. Dad and I fished together two years ago and for a laugh I decided to throw the Quad P. To our surprise, a 32" pike decided to nail it. The only fish it has taken, but 1 is better than none. Moved to from Wisconsin to Utah last year, so I haven't had the chance to fish it again. It is hibernating in dads tackle box. Planning to make a few "better" lures and fly back to Wisconsin for a June fishing trip with dad next year.

@ 68KF I just posted a reply to a different thread and had a flashback to this one. I was typing the word "airbrush" and couldn't remember if it was one word or two. My wife looked at me like I was crazy when I started laughing for no apparent reason.

@ DSV Very nice paint job. I like that it has the hard lines yet you were able to blend it almost like an airbrush. The eye is a great touch.

68KF......It is especially, not specially. I couldn't resist. I'll take your "free", "professional" advice any time I can get it. I'm not afraid to say that someone who has your years of experience is a professional. You may not be a "know it all", but you certainly do know all you are talking about. Hearing your opinions about your equipment (vs other equipment) and experienceis a desire of the majority I'm sure. Please don't let the one bad apple spoil the bunch, I value your comments and posts. FERG

Um, I think you have got it mastered. They swim and look great. Did you pour the tails too? FERG

That would be awesome on one of the lakes I fish if it were painted Baby Walleye. The shape is to die for, I hope you don't mind me fashioning one after it. Can't wait to see the finished product. FERG

I hate to admit that I know what it is called, but I think it is the stuff used for "Plastic Canvas Stitchery". If you would ask for that at Michaels, they will know what you mean. FERG

Great tute. You sure make it look easy, I have got to give this whirl. If I can make a suggestion; I would go with a solid color background, some of the colorblind folks might not be able to pick out some of the foreground from the background. FERG
