Really like your craw jig pattern. Nice use of materials for a realistic pattern.

I use .035 for the 3/8.

Swampman, I haven't had much problem from this mold. When I first start pouring, I will get a few incomplete pours and this is always seen in the skirt holder portion. Always in a hurry, it's because the first few pours are with a cold mold. As the mold heats up, or when I grab my torch and put it to the mold, things get better quick. I hate it, because now I have a hook and a wire form pretty much wasted. Just make sure the lead is hot and the mold too.

I brush it. I just purchased some of their spray but haven't tried it. I wouldn't spray heads though. I do put them on my turner after I brush them.

This paint is Createx Wicked Pearl. Gold is the color. First a black base coat was put on. Then the scale netting and then the gold. Createx makes an opaque black and also a black base in their auto air line of colors. The mold that was used to produce the spinnerbait is Do Its Ultra Spinner mold. It's really a nice mold with the detail and eyes that allows you to dress your bait up.

LOL. I'm pretty frugal when starting out so I went cheapo on my first couple of airbrushes. I bought a couple of these on an online rec from an "expert". Says these are the same airbrushes made in the same China factory as the expensive us sold ones. Pecoglobal, if this link doesn't work. Veda and Royalmax.

No sir, it's airbrushed Createx. Then eyes are installed and topcoated with KBS Diamond Clear.

Thanks, Ben.

Those are exceptional looking spinnerbaits. I agree, the paint on the heads is top notch!

This is actually the same belly color. It’s just how the light and shadows played with it. I had some of the back color run under the belly which puts it on top on a couple of these, I think, because I held too much pressure. Just learning the mold and this was the first time I shot it.
