Location: Richfield, MN | I will take the first 5 or 6 for sure. Those are just sweet. I keep coming back on this listing and enjoy loloking at them over and over. I would love to have you paint a couple lures for me and get them to turn out as nice as these are!!!!!
Or if you want I will just take 2 of them off your hands to have.,....
Are you selling any of those lures. I would love to have 1 of the first 5 or 6 for sure. I really love the colors you are using.
Do you do any repainting for people in the USA at all. I would be interested in what you do and pricing. Please PM me info if you would.
LOL

Location: Finland | thanks guys for the comments
@MuskyLureFreak i haven't had the change to test that particular model yet since the lakes have a 1 meter sheet of ice covering them so its lil bit hard to test that :D but i would guess the diving depth is around 2-4 meters and lil bit deeper when trolling.
@Muddy41 actually most of the lure pictures i posted have already been sold only few of those i kept my self. and usually if i ever make anything for sale i just do small patches since i don't really have much time put into this hobby now adays when i have a steady job and a girlfriend lol lure building was way easier when i was unemployed and single.
but yeah if anyone wants to get some painting tips on lure painting i have few lure painting tutorial vids on youtube like michael already mentioned

Location: Richfield, MN | Well then Solar We should test that prototype here in MN to make sure it works!!!
I reallt love that 1st lure in the 2nd series of pics. It has a double eyelet to hook up your line to it.
What is the idea behind that. Looks like there has to be some logic behind it but I have not yet figured it out.
Thanks for the awesome pic and please keep them coming!!!!! |

that one was for a lure building competition on a finnish fishing site . the basic idea behind having 2 places where you can put your line to is that the upper one gives a small and narrow swimming action and the lower one gives the lure much more wider and erratic action so you would have 2 different actions on 1 lure. |

Location: Finland | lets add something old again witch i think you guys might like.
these top ones are already been tested before and the action on these is really erratic and they are all over the place and really do imitate like a injured fish more than anything i've done before in the crankbait category.
the lower ones had a really big swimming action witch should be really good for summer piking when the water is warm

thanks and nice to hear that my videos have been helpful, that's what they are for.
The brand of paints that i use are solvent based paints called CAB made by domestic manufacturer lakkavalmiste, these paints are specifically made for lure builders and i have to say that they are like from a nother world compared to createx or other water based paints. i don't know if you are able to get these paints from any other country besides Finland though.
but here you can check out there brochure http://www.lakkavalmiste.fi/extranet/ext/cms3/attachments/CAB_engli...

Location: Finland | here some new gliders i made from blanks that i had lying around for a long time but never had a change to finnish. though that glitter base might look pretty cool on them so this is what i was able to come up with based on that idea.
they are 2.5oz and 5.9inch

| Your baits are really impressive SolarFall; the body shapes, color combos and patterns always seem to match perfectly in order to make a bait that I can't imagine would look "right" if it were done any other way. Each one just looks perfect.
I do have a question about the baits you make with a glitter base, I would like to make a few for myself and am having trouble getting a nice, even, glitter base. Are you typically mixing the glitter in with epoxy and putting it on the lure or putting the glitter on the bait and epoxying over? The best result I've had so far is by spraying a light clear coat and applying glitter heavily then epoxying over. If you're willing to share a tip on how you do it, I would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks,
S.Trutta |

Location: Finland | @s.trutta the way i do the glittering is that i just dip the lure to the clearcoat and then just springle the glitter all over the bait, usually i have to do the same process 2 or 3 times to get a nice and even distribution, then i just clear coat it enough that the surface is even and smooth and ready to be painted. im pretty sure that just mixing the glitters to epoxy will work aswell i just have never tried that
@MACONE if you mean the bigger scales that you can see in my previous pictures thats not done by netting but with a special stencil that i've made. what cames to that "normal" netting, you can get that stuff from shops that sell various fabrics and also some fishing stores stock that too. |
