Took a little time to build a few lures. Haven't built any in a few months, so don't pay too much attention to the paint as I was way more rusty than I thought.

Eric

Very nice!

That's what happens when spend all your time working on rods, those look terrible and will never catch a fish at least while they are sitting on that table.   Good looking baits even if you were a little rusty.

I agree they'll never catch anything!! I think you should send them to me..... ;D ;D

you worst attempt far surpasses my best...nice baits

Thanks guys. I actually had a time with the airbrush. Things that used to be 2nd nature were a little of a struggle to do.

Marty, I agree I am spending more time building rods than lures these days. It is a blast. You should try one someday. I can say that I let my wood stock actually run out for the first time in 4 years. I was shocked to find hardly enough to make the above 4 lures. Most importantly, the lures do however have the correct action. At least I did not forget how to build them.

Eric

I built a couple of spinning rods but that was enough of that, not my cup of tea.   Besides my wife would kill me if I start another hobby.

I don't think your skills were all that rusty.

Marty,

I had to reshoot the very top lure 3 times. I haven't done that since being 6 months in to building. The bottom lure is a double shot. I could not get the psi right on the metalic silver for shooting through the netting. Maybe it won't be so long in between the next batch. I only have two blanks that I have to build up and test so it should not be long. Either way I need to buy some more stock anyway.

Eric

Man, it that is terrible work, I would gladly take it off of your hands.  ;D

Paint jobs look mighty fine to me.  8-)

Very nice looking cranks.  

Thanks guys.

Eric,

I'm painting all the time and still have re-paint baits, what are you trying to say.  

Marty,

Somewhere along the line my hand and my mind have went on seperate paths.    I used to see the pattern in my head, and my hand would make it happen. I can't say that re-paints never happened, but definatley not at the scale that was going on with this batch. Time to break out the PVC again.  

Eric

You are not kidding, take a couple of weeks off and the brush feels like a lead weight in my hand.    

you worst attempt far surpasses my best...nice baits

That pretty much sums it up.  Nice baits.

Thanks Gman.

Marty,

It has been so long since I bought stock, my supplier has went out of bussiness. No Joke. Drove by yesterday, and there was no one there, all the material was gone. So the search begins.
