Here's what I've been working on lately.

This is a very large jerkbait at 2 1/2 ounces, and it's 6 1/2" not counting the bill.

Catfish

The next two jerkbaits are more or less normal sized lures, although they're still 5" without the bills.

Yellow-belly Bluegill

Lava Tiger

Chartreuse Pepper

Here's another attempt at crackle. I still haven't quite got the crackle nailed down, but I'm very pleased with this one.

Molting Blue Razor Craw

Let me know what you think!

That catfish swimbait is SICK!

Great looking baits Ben. The B2 clone is my fav but I have a soft spot for the big round square bills.

these are great looking baits.

I love the catfish bait, it looks amazing. Great job

They all look great!

The bluegill jerkbait is my favorite, though.

Tom

Great job! The details are amazing

i'm curious how you're doing your splatter. are you using the airbrush to do this? i know some people use a paint brush

These look sweet dude, you must have lots of free time. That crackle paint looks nice, almost looks marble.

WOW...! :blink:

Thanks guys.

Dave, I used my airbrush for the splatter on these baits. I remove both the needle cap and nozzle cap and just use the nozzle.

haven't heard of that method. i like the splatter is produces. are you using very low air pressure to do this? seems to me if you had normal spraying pressure without a needle it would just soak your bait in paint

Those are all awesome baits. Excellent work. I really like your background for the pics also with the water droplets

I leave the needle in for splatter painting; the only parts I remove are the nozzle cap and the needle cap.

I use the same PSI for splattering that I use for normal painting.

Thanks Cliff! I can't take credit for the pics; my brother took those.
