BassKinG Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi, Im new to tackle making but sounds very fun and rewarding. Im curious if i should start hand painting or start with an airbrush and do any of you have websites were I can look at the airbrushes? Also I think im going to start out doing poppers and then crankbaits, I heard old broom handles work well for poppers so that is probably what I will do.

Guest whittler Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Bassking, do not start by buying a lot of equiment. You can do some great paint jobs with rattle cans and pratice. For wood use what you have, broomhandles or about any scrap will work then as you gain skill move on to better equipment and materials.

SENKOSAM Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Go to the articles on this site for good how-to's. Tacklemaking.com or tackleunderground.com has good info and the latter has forums. Do a google search on hobby sites and air brushes and check out e-bay. Hobby stores in your area have airbrushes and paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephkiller Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I found an airbrush at Wal-mart in the modeling section. It's not great, but it was inexpensive and a good starter unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassChaser57 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Balsa is cheap so carve away. You will have a great time with the Wal-Mart airbrush kit. Model paints also work well and are small quantitys and small $$. We want to see the pics of the baits and the monsters you catch with it. 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
