Location: Moses Lake, WA | An all paint lure that evolved from (1) chartreuse/black, (2) blue, (3) gold, and finally (4) green. Three lace patterns were used that each covered roughly 1/3 the length of the lure. The patterns were rotated as each color was added.

Location: Muskegon Michigan | pretty cool way of overlapping different patterns. It really does get me thinking of overlapping stencils more. As it is now I only use multiple stencils on my Blue Gill. This might be the real answer to doing a realistic Walleye. Mike |

The great thing about basement building is that you can share techniques that can be applied to your own work. I got the idea of using multiple masks from the works of "Arsenal" who posts on Stripersonline. |

Location: Muskegon Michigan | Amen to that Gringo. I cant seem for the life of me to do a Walleye that really looks like a Walleye. It could be achieved with overlapping patterns Im sure of it. But where to start. This winter we will be taking some huge steps out of my comfort zone patterns and trying to get more realistic. Walleye is at the top of my list in must have patterns. Thank you for posting this work. It is something that everyone here should be looking at. Freehanding is great for artistic flavor and creativity but the only way to recreate things is duplication or keeping it simple like I do. Get the right stencils and its 1,2,3, done. Great lure makers like John Mulliet of Loke were even better jig makers and tool makers. I think The same thing applies to paint patterns . This is a great thread. Mike |
