Location: Girdwood, Alaska | These are my first attempts at painting crankbaits, not terrible for a first try (Even signed them :-) ). I would like to thank Rob from Muskynightmare for giving me the blanks... so Thank you very much! The top one is a Lolleita twitchbait painted in a bullhead pattern, and the bottom one is a Nessa crank painted in a gizzard shad type color. Thanks again Rob!

Good stuff man!
Your welcome! Glad to see a young guy doing something constructive, as opposed to playing x- box or D&D all the time.

| Those are your first attempts? I wish my first attempts were that beautiful, Alex.
Great work and the patterns look like they'll tempt the beast into biting too. |

Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | Video games is what robbed me from a major part of my kid's lives, as well as D&D (thanx to my ex-beotch).
I'll ship a few blanks, for waiting so long for your re-paints.

For scale patterns try some old football shirts or beach bags. Anything with a patern you can spray paint through is great! I know of some lures that use lace or womens stockings too. As for the Suicks, I put mine towards the front of the lure. On my 9 inch Suicks they are about 0.5 inches behind the front hook..

Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | glad to see the future of baitmaking and muskyfishing taking such an interest! i will be holding a day long bait mod/ building/ painting clinic at The Sportsman in Appleton next Saturday. Stop by and learn. I am not getting paid for me being there, I just believe in their shop. |

Seriously the paint jobs look great. I really like the Nessa trolled - it doesn't dive deep so it's great for trolling over weed beds.

Location: On the X that marks the mucky spot | Good job for you're first try.
Here's a tip: lay down a coat of yellow paint before you put your orange down. You'll get a much fuller and brighter orange that way. |
