Ok now let me ask a quick question. What about repainted used lures? They are dirt cheap at yard sales and such. I have been meaning to try some on eBay just to see where it goes.
I looked into it, its a minimum order or 200 pcs I think and he charges $90 for shipping. 200 lures at .60 cents a piece plus shipping is 1.10 a piece. It is cheaper then Predator lures and such but you need a large order.
I have no idea how it works but WOW it does... I read this a few days ago and grabbed my spare brake fluid and threw a Rapala Rattlin Rap and a Scatter Rap in there since I never use them... The Scatter Rap since its balsa removed the paint but welted the body but the plastic Rattlin Rap worked fantactic... Its down to bare white plastic.
The quality paint is a good point, I use the cheapest stuff I can find. 50 cent bottles of actinic paint from Walmart. Thin with water and it works, but I have some createx and it's a lot better.
I have been researching custom crankbaits and BB Lures painted the best baits I've ever seen. Does anybody have any idea how's someone would go about painting with such detail?
