A couple others I took pictures of today... both hard-maple gliders; blue-gill and shad. Both painted with rattle cans. Comments/critiques appreciated!

Wow, rattle cans.....cool,cool. I love both of them. How large are they and how do they run with the line tie above the parallel line?

Thanks,

Nice looking lures. I'm very impressed with your weapon of choice

Painting with cans is almost impossible to get that kind of look. You must have lots of practice or a tremendous amount of control. Very nice.

Thanks! I don't know that I'd say rattle cans are my method of choice, though... more a matter of not having an airbrush, and using what I have on hand. For example, the foil for the blue glider is actually some silver-ish wrapping paper I found in the basement that must have been purchased for a wedding at some point.

The gill is about 5 1/2" long, while the blue glider is about 8 1/2". I'm hoping they run sort of like a Rapala sub-walk; they're roughly modeled after a lure I made last winter and had more luck with than I had any reason to expect.

Those would be great jobs if they had been done with airbrush. I'm impressed that you can do THAT with rattle cans!

Great stuff.
