Here's a line to the way I do it. There are several ways.

Hey Angelo. I sent you a pm for a link to a tutorial by Tigger. It is the best step by step I have seen. I didn't want to post it here because it was removed once. Too bad, it's a great resource for us builders.

You can have some fun making the foil bases too. Here are a few Grunts I did. One used netting, another used a wicker basket as the backing form and the last I just pinched the foil over and over again. I also use a lot of my kids toys. Some of those have very neat textures to them that transfer onto the foil.

Grunt, those are really nice. You've got you're own style and they look like they'd produce big fish too.

Thanks! I would love to do some of the work others do here but, lures in general just don't command the price it would take for that kind of work. I imagine a Tigger bait in a Grunt with the foil and paint would take me at least 2-3 hours of hands on work. I amy still ahve to try a few for my own collection though

I've made a few in metallic blue over a lighter blue that are amazing producers.

Sorry forgot to log in on that last post.

Watching UFC and posting at the same time... bad idea.
