My goal this season is to catch a musky on a lure I painted this winter. What type of paints do you use with an airbrush system? Also, what type of clear coat do you put on the bait to protect the finished product? Thanks-----Todd

Muskiehound here in St Louis visiting in law for Christmas. cant remember

I use Createx alot and find they work great for me, also easy cleanup.
You might want to check out www.bearair.com I think thats the web site.
All kinds of options from them. Good luck on your adventure.
If you can take time to get a good action that will create alot of vibration.
If you have that you should be able to catch fish with a bear wood lure.
One of my buddys that uses my lures had a bait I made him 4 years ago.
when I wasn't coating the bait good. the finish came all off other then the
back and that lure caught alot of Muskie for him. Unfortunatily he lost it in a rock pile in lake of the woods.
Needless to say he wants more.
