Hi
Some baits Ive finnished the last week. I have a few more colors (alot of colortests when youre new to this) Theyre made out of hard maple, painted with airbrush and Ive used a new lureepoxy made in Sweden, by Anders "Wolfcreek" Ulvforsen for topcoat. The season has started here, and some of these already has teethmarks in them (So I have done something right )
I also have a video of a, close to, 40" fish being caught, but I cant seem to upload here...

Michael

Sweet! I especially like the fourth one down and the two below it. They are all great!

Would you care to share your recipe for the hot perch? How did you do the black/silver under-over the orange?

Thanks,
Bruce

Thanks! Practice makes...better I would like to mention Beaver, sworral, Jed Volkman and the basement forum here, theyve all been very helpfull with tips and directions!
Bruce; regarding the Hot perch: I lay a yellow base, then Irrid. orange. Then I just paint the black stripes. And paint the silver at the end, throug a mesh, and aim meticulously to spray scales on just the black stripes. I use Createx paints mostly.

Heres a picture of the pike I got last weekend on the perch color.

Excellent work. You definitely have the knack for painting.

I finally got the "making-baits-spirit" over me again, kinda stupid time, considering fallfishing is around, oh well. I started a couple of new prototypes, tired of making the same 2 baits over and over again.
1 is a perch sized tally whacker style bait.
I also had a mishapp at the cnc, and made one of my Strap ons a tad to small, and found out that the blank could be used as a spinnerbait style bait, will ad skirt and a grub. Still figuring out the thruwire...
And I also painted some of my regulars, and tried out some prism (calling them Prism Break :P)

Nice woirk, I have not been here in while. It good to see that the quality of the baits being shown here has stayed at the very top. Awsome work. Kingfisher

Thanks for the kind words all. Been at it today aswell, but tomorrow I hope to test some of the new ones.
The first pic is a deeper, jigging version of my tailbait. The second is another Prism Break (the black perch is going over the pond), the 3rd pic is some CarpVaders that are going to Sweden.

Last pile for while...

I managed to get these done before I was tossed out. And atm I dont have any space to continue this wonderful hobby...
I still have a couple of more that I didnt get to clearcoat...crap!

Desperate times call for desperate measures...

A kitchen is there to make food, I make "food" for fish in mine

I have to a lot of sucking up to do, to my wife, but fortunately she loves me :P

Besides painting and clearcoating, I make RTV mold and such in the kitchen aswell...

Love the look of the baits. Awesome paint jobs. I am guessing most of your baits are already sold. If they are not all sold is there a way to get my hands on one?

Thanks,
Dave

Sorry, no baits for sale atm. But now I kinda have a place to paint, so maybe in the near future.

I like your drying wheel, similar to what many here seem to use but I have a question. When I hook my crankbaits or gliders onto the springs it doesn't matter how tight I stretch the springs, my lures only stay in place half way around the wheel then as the wheel continues up, the lures all go FLOP, & spin back! Needless to say this doesn't give a very clean, continuous finish. Do I need stiffer springs to pull the baits even tighter to get them to stop flopping around?

Pikester: I you take a close looke at the baits, Ive hooked one of the screweyes straight to the hook in the wheel. The become a pain to get off, but they dont flip and flop. And the bait in the background (the tailbait) I have to tie them down to the frame also.

Michael, now that I look closer at the picture I see what you are saying about the screw eyes to stabilize the baits. I also see what you mean by tying some of your baits down to the frame. Thanks, John
