I have a Paasche H series single action airbrush that I've used for years on different projects. Would this airbrush be OK to start out with? I would be using Createx paint. What kind of clear would ya'll suggest for this paint?

The H series will do fine. As far as clear you'll have to experiment to see what works best for you. Alot of guy's like devcon 2 ton epoxy, other's use flexcoat, automotive clear, dick nites, the list goes on...

Thanks. I need a winter hobby and I've always wanted to paint some baits but just didn't know how to get started. After we get through the holidays, I'm going at it.
Createx paint and devcon 2 ton 30 minute epoxy for the clear. You can go to hobby lobby and get mesh netting for your scales.

If I could ever get half as good as you are, then I would be a happy camper!!

Thanks !!
Time and patience is the key !
If you mess up, try not to get to frustrated and paint as much as you can because the more you paint the better you will get . Post pics of the baits you paint and you can get tips from all the great painters on here.
So if a guy was starting from scratch what type of airbrush would you recommend? I just got back from Hobby Lobby and they have several guns but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Do I need a gravity feed? Will my little air compressor from Lowes I use for my small nail gun work with an airbrush? Sorry for all the questions...but I'm as green as they get fellas!
i would personally go with a gravity feed gun your compessor should be fine just get an air pressure regulator with a water trap and you will be set
+1 on the gravity feed gun.
Easier to clean, easier to do fine work using low air pressure
