Hey everyone,

Started trying my hand at airbrushing musky lures a few months ago, and repainting my hellhounds is getting expensive. Tried doing some searching but seems like everything I can find is either old with the links not working, or requires weighting and drilling for the eyes/wire-through. I see that drifter tackle sells lure blanks but they cost as much as the new finished ones here after usd to cad conversion.

I'm wondering if there's anywhere I can get muskie lures that I can just paint, and clear coat with etex and then fish, without needing to weight and screw in the eyes or installing wire-through? Open to any kind of lure. I'm located in Toronto, Canada so hoping to find a place that will ship up here, but if needed I can ship to the states and pick it up. Thanks in advance!

So I will be at the Bowmanville Fishing and Tackle Show ( March 12 )which will have 90 dealers and 35 private tackle tables of used treasures. I will have many old lures at about 1/3 or less than retail many scarred from almost 40 years of fishing and could use a repaint if you think paint is important.

And no my firetiger Suicks are not for sale
