Re: Anyone Paint their Reels?

Thank you so much! I will be researching the type of airbrush to buy. Definitely a great project for the winter.

Re: Anyone Paint their Reels?

Here is a photo of the quantum reel I custom painted. I think I have a better photo somewhere else but this should do 4 now.

Re: Anyone Paint their Reels?

I recently played around and painted an old BPS Extreme. It's hard to tell in the photo, but I did a fade from pearl purple (bottom) to pearl turquoise (middle) to pearl blue (top). All paint was Createx with a Dick Nites topcoat. I have no idea how it will hold up, but we'll see...

For the record, there were two goofy pink jerkbaits I did for the DK open, and I am proud to say they weren't the last items picked in the giveaway!

I loved the look on some of the guys' faces when they saw those baits. I guess not everyone knows pink is a hot springtime color on St. Clair. Who da thunk?

i've always heard smallies like the bubble gum jerkbaits for some reason... being on the west side i don't necessarily have the same opportunities to test out that theory! at least they like black & gold just fine anyway
