IMO createx to me is by far the best paint i have used

could you elaborate on this or show pics of what it is your saying

Thanks for that I will look into it.....

Sounds good thanks. If I am to get my product into this retail store I will need more body styles then I have now. I have almost every Predator blank and now need to find some other quality blanks.

Hey Bob have you tried there blank crank bodies

Beautiful thanks BOB. exactly what I need

I know alot of the users here sell and stock bait stores with there lures. I have a IN at BIG retail store here in MN. I was wondering what you guys use for packaging. Or where I can find something I could use thats presentable to put on a shelf. As far as inserts I think I have that covered. But the packaging I havent found yet. Looking for something like rapalas package but all plastic and see through. Or pretty much any and all the ideas you guys can give me. Much appreciated in advance..

sounds good guys thanks for the help

wow nobody. any help would be great

I was wondering if anyone has a good place to get walleye blanks from. I am strictly a Bass angler and have no idea what to get for walleye blanks. But I have a few customers that are asking for walleye lures. So any help on this would be great. Like I have said I have no idea when it comes to walleye so if you could be specific that would be wonderful. As far as maybe the website and model number of the lure and just stuff like that... Thanks in advance appreciate it

Although I am sure someone here can answer this question. I have found a good website for my AB questions. howtoairbrush.com. There is a guy that runs the website that would and could answer any airbrush related question you can think of. Just an idea to check it out they will be able to help you out for sure. Although like i said you will in time get some good answers here cause there is a vast knowledge base on this site..... I am so HAPPY I found this site.. Thanks again to all the TU members for all your help and willing to share your secrets and knowledge with us all..... THANKS AGAIN

One coat is sufficent. But I do plastic cranks so as far as wood someone else could probably help you out a little more

Has anyone tried the small sunfish from vanndalizer 313-1.. Just wondering if they run true

Try Predatorbassbaits.com.. I have pretty much purchased all of them and all swim great. Its the only place I get blanks from right now

The only things im finding when I do a search is other forums talking about them..

Where would I find these

Have you tried Barlowstackle.com

+1 hes awesome ... I just started doing this whole bait painting hobby. and if it wasnt for jim over at predator bass baits. (and this website) I would have been lost. But thanks to guys like Jim and resources like TU im painting away like i have been doing it for years

Why is no one telling us who it is. If it were me his name would be plastered all over the place for beyond bad business practice. I dont know I guess people like seeing others complain when they get screwed by him... If this is his way of taking care of customers then he should be outted for this. So nobody else gets stuck in your shoes.. Just my opinion. I know i would hate to make an order and then months down the road all of a sudden im on here posting about the same problem ,,,,,When it could have been avoided. Cause from what I know makes me not want to order anything from anyone on the east coast. Which I feel isnt right for the legit sellers on that side of this Great country

im going to go try that right now thanks.. been looking for a chrome solution

All good ideas. thanks again. I tried the popsicles this evening and it turned out great thanks for the advise..

i will give this a whirl..ty both.

I am having a hard time painting scales or should i say getting the netting on the lure.. My problem is that when i wrap the lure with the netting. It always screws up my basecoat near the bottom hook ring of my cranks. I am using createx opague white for a base. And hitting it with a hair dryer to heat set it. but as soon as i wrap it it chips or gouches the paint. Anyway someone could wrap a lure and snap a pic and show me how they do it for reference. would be greatly appreciated.
