Like a lot of guys on here I found myself needing to make a little extra cash to support my habbit of painting crankbaits. The wife had cut me off on buying supplies so it was time to get a little ching to help (so i thought). I figured i would do a couple repaints and sell them on ebay. East right,,,, nope. Unless you are absolutley an unbelieveabel artist when it comes to painting these baits your not going to draw interest of buyers. Even if you do have artistic abilities, what sets your lure apart? By the time it was all said and done I still only made a buck or two profit on each lure. Thats just not going to cut it in order to pay for supplies. Bottom line is you have to be artistic, have a good product "THAT WORKS", have a good reputation, good bussness sense, find affordable materials, and a profitable market to promote to. That leavs a lot of room for error with all these factors. One more thing, if you look at the people that are selling baits, the succesfull ones are the people that have been doing this for years. Its touch and sure isnt going to happen over night.
