"Enough of the chrome $hit, when are you gonna paint some good old fashioned lures?"
At least that's what the PM said. Can't get any more old fashioned than pulling out an old pinstripe brush and laying a lateral line down the side of what were going to be golden shiners.
$27.50 delivered.
Sorry, but there will be price increases this year, and I'm taking about everything.
All hardware and hooks and bodies and paint and E-Tex went up twice last year for a total of $15/gallon.
I'm trying to keep it real, but most lures will be $25 with the more elaborate ones going for $30 and $35.
Blame fuel costs, blame the cost of living....just don't blame me.

"Perkettes".
Smaller version of the Perka.
Like holding a 7" perch in your hand.

Got you down for one Yeti.
I'm doing all my striping the "olf fashioned way" this year. I've never used a stencil, so I would do precise airbrush work for stripes.
Well now I'm going back to scuffing up the first layer of clearcoat and painting the stripes on, then putting on the second layer.
I met with a guy at an auto detailing shop, and he could sign his name with a pinstripe brush....of course the brush cost more than one of my lures.....but I asked the stupid question, "How did you learn to do that?" His reply was obvious, "Practice. 30 years of practice." Sorry dude, I don't have 30 years. Gonna be some OTJ!!!
I've been practicing.
Watch for the Firetigers and Sunset Tigers and Extreme Red Tigers.....combining gold scales and pin stripes.
I should be out in the garage.
