the iwata revolution br is a good brush. not too expensive either. that kit looks nice, i like that it comes with 3 different sizes of needles and nozzles, but i don't know anything about the quality of it as i've never used it. definitely stick with a gravity feed brush with a little cup on it though.

haha thanks everybody. i took it out to the lake today and it sure does swim nice. makes a lot of clicking too

threadfin paintjob on one of my standard shad swimbaits.

dude this is shameful... :-[

with your hook how it is now (single hook, facing backwards) i think you are going to have issues with hooking fish. maybe flip it around so it is facing forwards and just make sure its got a good weedguard. or try what big m said.

thanks guys!

i know man, i'm about to pass out!

better than mine, i just have a bedsheet draped over my desk in my bedroom ... :-/

thanks guys! hope it catches some fish

from a few weeks ago: before: finished: sorry about the glare, i've never had such a hard time taking a good picture of a bait before! i might try again tomorrow...

i always use uni-uni when tying two lines together.

grilled rockfish fillets are amazing. grilled largemouth fillets taste really similar, and they're probably my #2. i also like tilapia.

dude that was great! props! but def leppard still sucks.

dude are you kidding me??? you listen to def leppard...?

make sure your paint is fully dry (heat set too, preferably) before you put the painters tape on your bait. also, stick the tape on your t-shirt or jeans a few times to make it less sticky before you put it on your bait too.

nice baits! that first one looks very much like a bait i just got done painting earlier this evening. i'll put up pics when the clearcoat is finished.

bigfruits nailed it. use an ultralight and toss inline spinners and other tiny crankbaits! by far my favorite inline spinner is the blue fox vibrax minnow spin. i have had soooo much success with this little bait, in all sizes! smallest size for huge bluegill, biggest size for little-medium bass. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_15446____SearchResults minnow, silver, and gold are my favorite colors.

okay but i'm wearing the hat

AP calculus >

it DID win best picture (totally earned it too ) however, i'll be straight with you, the bet was on best leading actor (i said it would win this at the very least), which it did NOT win. Jeff Bridges won that with Crazy Heart.

i dunno what happened but it looks pretty cool! btw, a good primer won't help additional paint stick to the base paint

in the banner ad for Ice Fishing Success, if the guy is ICE fishing, why are there a bunch of MACKEREL lined up... ...advertisers are getting smarter and smarter... :

it will work, no doubt about that, because the hooks are spaced out about the same distance they would be on a normal crankbait, but it is 100% unnecessary for that exact same reason...

lol yeah all of the above work. if you look at any electronic display though polarized sunglasses it will look weird and it will be darker if you tilt your head to the left or right.

i like my berkley digital lip grip a lot. i don't know anything about the berkley tec you have listed, but i'd choose that over what else you have listed.
