| All things being equal, has switching over to airbrush painted lures produced more fish for you? |

Location: Eastern Ontario | Airbrushed lures are works of art but I don't think muskies study scale patterns. I have lures with no paint left that still catch fish. When muskies are on they will hit a well placed socket wrench. HOWEVER BEFORE A LURE CAN CATCH A MUSKIE IT MUST FIRST CATCH A FISHERMAN. |

I've done well with my rattlecans paintjobs. I'm still on the fence though on wether or not to switch over to airbrushing.... |

Location: Eastern Ontario | I plan to use an old air brush I have from back when I used to do 72 scale model aircraft to repaint some old lures because I think the paint will be cheaper than spray cans. I dont plan to get to fancy just a colour change. |

Location: Nordeast Minneapolis | Hmmm.... 'Socket Wrench', you say? Who makes that? Does it have Double 10's? What rod should I throw one with? 
I've found the number of lures I'm able to paint in a night has gone way up with the airbrush, because I can paint them all in my basement, rather than my garage. I don't get quite the same 'high' I used to off the spray paint fumes, but I'm able to increase my Miller High Life intake, so brain cell damage is probably a wash.
Having said all that, the lure I was most productive with last year was a jerk bait that I couldn't get the airbrushing right on, got frustrated and sprayed over the whole dang mess with black spray paint.

| Yes, using an airbrush has caught me more musky. Not all colors, effects, and finishes can be had in a can. |
