Hey Gang,

Until now, i have been using a nail head and just "stamping" the paint on the bait. Well, i keep getting a bubble effect.
I am not putting it on a flat surface, so the "stamping" method isnt really doing it nicey nice.
Any suggestions??
I dont need anything other than a big white dot with a little black dot in the center.

What are you guys doing??

Thanks and sticky hooks,

rob

Rob Try making a simple circle stencil to do the white color ,then a smaller stencil to paint the dot

Try using paint markers. I've used them to make eyes on a couple of my baits and had no problem. Mine are "Markal" Valve action paint markers. Not sure where to buy them - a couple found there way home from my workplace.

How about putting a sticker on it and then clear coating over the top?
