Location: Land of the Musky | Hello all,
Winter is coming and I need to rid myself of some blanks! Happy to give you guys a good deal on my unpainted blanks. I will be in and out a lot over the next few months with a new day job but will be able to ship fairly well during this time. It just may not be 24 hour shipping for my blanks like my other stuff. My wife hates prepping the blanks for shipment and honestly does not know all of he components well enough to know what to ship with what...
So, here you go:
Nokken $5
Sea Cow $5
Sea Calf $4
Super Cisco $4 (Clear or red diving lip and silver or red hooks)
Mag Shads $6 (Straight lip or bent lip deep diver)
Dingo $6 (I have multiple tail and fin color options)
(Plus a little for shipping)
Happy to ship globally too. Just email me what you want and where you live to [email protected]
I will shoot you a PayPal invoice to pay and I will ship ASAP. You do not have to be a PP member to pay with PP either. They do take one time CC payments. Real easy. I am also happy to do bulk deals and can take off $1 per lure if you want 10 units or more of anyone of the above blanks. They have to be the same 10 though (example 10+ Mag Shads).
Real fun to paint these up with your kids or just for yourself. As most of you know, there is just something about catching a fish on a lure you made and/or painted yourself.

Location: Land of the Musky | PS-When you are done painting the lures, please post pictures. I may have to send the best of the best a prize 
Wish I had just a pinky of talent some of you have! Amazing some of you can get that 3D depth in a paint job. Some guys in MI also foil the Mag Shads and Super Ciscos and those also look real cool.

Location: Pigeon Forge TN. | Awesome paint work. I can't compete with that because of the time involved and I just don't have it to spare. I live in my man cave enough as it is. I did a couple simulations for myself and a couple friends but just don't do it for public due to the work and time involved. Am working on one in chrome and am designing pattern as I go, no solid idea as yet.
Very nice work, lots of great talent on this board. |

| Wow, Crown him now. That is an awesome paint job Paul. It does appear to be many many hours of work. Just curious, if you don’t mind me asking, how long does it take you to do a paint job like that? How many steps/color changes is that?

Location: Money, PA | I appreciate the compliments everyone...
Surprisingly, it doesn't take a lot of time or work at all. Many of my patterns took some trial and error to get the right color combinations in the beginning, but once I got them figured out it comes easy, its just a matter of layering, scaling and a little detail work....A good eye for color helps as well I have to admit. I do very little masking work or stenciling....most of the markings are done by hand with the brush. Pretty much the only stenciling is the gills (which I'm still not satisfied with and needs improvement) and scales. Realistically, those two baits probably took me an hour to paint....If I had a set up of multiple airbrushes, I could probably knock them out in half the time...Switching of colors and cleaning in between changes is what takes alot of time while painting BUT Most of the time goes into the clearcoat finish with my end product.
Again, thanks!

The Sea Cow/Calf has a tighter swing to it. WE moved the weights in towards the center so it would swing fast and erratic. IMO it helps the fish zero in on the lure easier and helps increase hook ups. |

| Do you still have any Dingos, Mag Shad's and sea calfs left? |

You bet. I have about 100-300 of each blank left. Only thing I am almost out of is Twitcher lips for the Mag Shad lures. STill have a lot of the bent lips for them. |
|
| |
|
| what type of glue/epoxy should I use to attach the lips and set the eyes on my Mag Shads? |
|

Location: Land of the Musky | A great glue is that Gorilla two part epoxy but most 5 minute 2 part epoxy glues will work just fine. |

That smallie is probably one of the best most natural I've seen and the shad is real nice and clean....awesome work man! |

Location: Land of the Musky | How does this sound for the competitions for the $100 in tackle from my website? On January 1, 2013 I will post a thread here. Everyone who has baits to show can email me a picture on Jan. 1 and I will post a message requesting them. On January 5 or so I will arrange the pictures with #s and post a voting thread on either the basement board or the General board for all to vote on. We can give it 10 days or so and then the winner can be picked.
If you have your lure(s) ready now feel free to start sending me the pictures now to my email: [email protected]
Thanks,
James

Location: Land of the Musky | If you are talking about the 11" Mag Shad lures those are 7/0 hooks. Any larger and you won't get good hookups IMO. They do look odd in the picture though
