Just hang them up and spray them, then clear coat. You can either use some type of clear lacquer or envirotex spray.

No need to seal them first.

I use Kilz on all the baits that I make. It seals the wood and is a good primer for the top coat.

If you coat them in superglue before painting it helps give the wood a tough skin, especially in soft woods like pine.
