Hello to all of you master lure builders and painters. I am a new registered user but I have been looking and have been very inspired by the lures I have seen here. I have been building bucktails for a while and have figured that out, and also have had the capabilities for making crankbaits for a while, but really didn't know how to get started to effectively paint them. Thank you all! Attached are pictures of some of my second generation baits. Although they look ok I have along way to go, but I guess that is the artist in me talking. You can also check out my website for other baits I have been working on. Thanks again for all of the info posted here.

I have six inch and 8 inch models. These baits were originally made by a guide near Crivitz Wisconsin that fished High Falls and was one of the most popular baits there in the 70's and 80's. They have a great slow wobbling action to them.

Location: Richfield, MN		The suicks are most definatly one of the best paint jobs on a suick that I have seen in a long time. Love the colors on it.

Thanks for the comments!
The crankbaits actually run fairly shallow 1-4 ft, but they have a great wobbling action.
Thanks for comments on the suicks as well, I have fished for a long time and always found great baits, but there is always something I like to change to them including the paint and sometimes weighting them to suspend or rise very slowly. I think they act more naturally in the water and gives the fish more time to look at the bait (sometimes good and bad), however I feel the little extra attention I can put into paint job, it gives me a little extra confidence when I throw the bait, and I try to do that on all the baits I work on.
