Nicely done! I'm curious as I've never build lures before-what kinds of paint can/do you use? What are the processes you use to build them? I'm assuming you'd rough cut the shape, then fine tune the shape by sanding etc.

for more information. Right down there are three threads scattered in regards to lure building I will post more on this string here. Perhaps we could get strings moved to here? The Bobby Fault and lure making under the sub board in auto repair..

As for painting the first group here was done with an airbrush but small model car paint was used and had to be thinned. This makes the colors more pastel. The next group was done with a gravity fed air brush which lets us use brighter paint as it does not have to be thinned and also lets us mix paints for more colors. Tripnchip has also made some lures and either one of us can give you ideas, Just catch us in chat...
