new balsa baits

Featured Replies

Here are some Hedd Hunter copies, a Big O style, and a little light flat sides bait.

Sweet as usal.   8-)   I just dont see how you turn out as many lures as you do. I might turn 3-4 in a week and that is if I don't work for 1/2 the week.  ;)

;) you continue to impress, they all look awesome

ernel, I carve at night and sand at lunch.  I can have 6 baits ready for hardware and sealing a day, I get a long lunch.   I paint in the evening after work when my 2yr old lets me.  

thanks for the kind words.

New to the forum, joined because i make baits aswell, i'm into poppers cus they're the easiest, your cranks look awsome. How do u keep the bill in them (what kind of adhiesive?) and do u weight them?

Hog, the bills are epoxied in with devcon 5min.  I drill anchor point in the back of the bills and you can't pull 1 out unless you tear the bait apart.

very nice. ur baits look awsome, i'm gonna have to stop using a detail brush and go to the air brush. i went through the archives and all ur cranks look rediculous, awsome colours, cool colour schemes and bait construction looks awsome.

Mabey i need a lesson from the best.

I do appreciate the kind words but I'm far from the best when it comes to painting.  I know some guys that blow my baits out of the water.  

the airbrush is the way to go for painting your baits.  It  just takes a little practice to get the hang of it.  I'll help any way I can.

Very nice as usual.

How thick is the bill on that second one?  It looks a little thicker than usual.

Hookem, that is 1/16 thick polycarbonate.  I don't use it much anymore, kind of a pain to cut and shape.

Marty definitely has a knack for color selection......I think this is beautiful!!
