What in particular are you wanting to make? www.bearsbaits.com is good for pouring plastics.. Tackleunderground is really hard to beat though.. Ton's of info..

;D ;D

It might be coinencendence but I always seem to catch bigger fish with panfish crank's than with shad baits (not as many but bigger fish). I thought about just painting one white with the bright orange scales on the belly and see if that's what set's them off! Well here's 2 I painted up last night. A bluegill and a warmouth..

That poe look's 'SWEET' jam.... Picture's are a pain in the butt aren't they.. lol

Thank's guys...

I know that color would be killer down here in FL! How about you send that one my way and I let you know how it works....lol... Excellent job...

X 2 on the BigM crank's! He is one of the most skilled crankbait maker's out there! I'm still waiting on some from him ( )but the one's I own have been really productive for me around wood. Thank's BigM...

> > I got the email from dick yesterday! Man I hope it's just a temp thing! I'll need to find something else for my lipless baits. Might give me a good reason to try glisten pc, I've been wanting to try it anyway.

I get the 9oz bottle's from here http://www.hobbylinc.com/prods/rga.htm Just noticed the devcon link's are not working! got me worried now..

Very nice! I've tried it a couple time's but never comes out how I want it to. How long do you leave the crackle medium on? I usually let mine dry completely, is that what your supposed to do?

Bored this weekend, figured I need somemore painted rapala's... Did some rapala's this weekend! walleye Golden Shiner Yellow Perch Citrus Shad Muskie Girl Skeleton Craw

Crazy name man!! lol ;D

No yellowing here either with devcon. I usually loose them or have a fish take them before I get a chance to see if they yellow.. lol

I leave mine overnight in dawn dish det. and hot water. Then the next day take a toothbrush and scrub all the big stuff off. Then I take something like a little pipe cleaner (got them from harbor freight, they come with really small ones) and run through the tip to get all the gunk out. Reassemble and your good to go.

BD BLUEGILL.... 1) Krylon for plastic's white base 2) Pearl white on belly and sides 3) Pearl purple on upper sides and back 4) Stencil vertical stripes with Thinned pearl black (folk art) 5) Mesh on belly & up gill's a little- Flor. Orange mixed with a rust orange scales 6) Trans. Dark Brown mixed with Pearl Chartreuse on back. 4drops char. 1 drop dark brown. 7) wrap entire bait with mesh and spray pearl white scales on sides and trans. brown scales on the gills. 8) Stencil gill spot's with painter's tape and spray w/ opaque black 9) Trans. light blue along bottom of gills 10) Flick some blue randomly around bait w/airbrush 11) Freehand with fine brush red gill's 12) opaque black around eye sockets... Sure I left something out but you can figure out the rest...lol...

When I started out I got a cheap airbrush from www.airbrushcity.com. They have some pretty good stuff to start with. I also used (and still use) some folk art paint from walmart. It just need's to be thinned with water enough to shoot through your airbrush.. Good luck and better think hard about it! Once you get started it's hard to quit, and as far as I know they don't have any tackle rehab center's as of yet... ;D ;D

I use 3d eye's alot but painted eye's can look good to with some practice. Get you an assortment of drill bit's and use the bottoms to dip in the paint. Dont put the pupil right in the middle, trust me , it look's goofy. Line it up with the front of the eye or bottom. I like to shoot black around where the eye's are going before I put the eye's on(give's them a little depth). Then Yellow,gold or red spot then smaller black pupil. Just a little tip, look's great though.

Maybe you'll catch a Frankinfish...! ;D

Very nice bud! You really brought that old stuff back to life...

Not a Miami fan! It's called a bluegill pepperstick.

lol.. Smart thinkin'... Look's great bud...

I like to use elgrandelures mexistick's and pepper stick's at night. Both are like senko's on steroids. We've been fishing them on brushpile's at night with 1/2oz weight and 50lb braid. Bigger weight let's us get down there quick, then just reel slow until you hit brush and twich like crazy! They usually hit it on the twiches.. Usually the darker color's are the best but I think they can feel them moving too. Since we've switched to the bigger worm's we're getting alot more bites at night. They've got some 12in monster's too, haven't tried them yet but will soon. Here's a hog a caught last month fishing at night with them...

Rodman Resevoir, Loochloosa or Half moon would be 3 big fish lake's if that's what your looking for!! ;D

;D ;D Me too Bob....!

I like it Stringjam!!! Very nice...
