| I prime mine with spray Zinnser "Cover Stain"(most hardware stores). You don't need an air brush. You can get some great looking spinnerbait heads with good old fashion "rattle can" spray paint like Krylon. For spinnerbait heads, you will paint heads for years out of a can. When finished painting, add eyes and cover the heads with devcon 2-Ton Epoxy (Wal-Mart) and they will look professional.
I like Krylon because they don't clog and you will use every last drop out of the can three years later.
I can paint nearly any pattern that I want with these colors; White, Black, Hunter Green, Yellow, Leather Brown, Safety Plum Purple, Gold, Silver, Flo Chart., and Flo Red/Orange. With these colors you can get all the basics like; Firetiger, Red tiger, Perch, Sucker, Shad, Cisco, Walleye, Crappie, Bluegill, and purple. |

| As far as hooks go, the Mustad 3407 has been the standard for quite a while. Lately I have been using Mustad's 32608N in 6/0 and I really like them. But the 6/0 is the largest they make in that hook. If you are making really big spinnerbaits, the 3407 is available in much larger sizes. The companion to the 3407 is the 34081. It's basically the 3407 with a large eye that can be used as a trailer hook if you need one. These are all available from the Musky component guys like Reinke Bros.(414-383-5591), Moores (715-356-6834), Stamina, Barlows, etc. |
