    Very nice. Need to get my oldest child in to painting some of my old lures.

    I have a question...what are you guys finishing your baits with? The clear coat, who makes it and where can I get it? Thanks in advance.

    Jaybluze, I use two types of epoxy, Envirotex Lite and Devcon 2Ton. Devcon 2 Ton can be purchased at Walmart and most hardware stores, Envirotex is a bar top finish, Home Depot, Menards, Lowes and Hobby Lobby all carry it along with some hardware and paint stores.

    Challenger, the top three are my own handmade cranks. The bottom five are repaints of baits that I buy, usually found and old baits from e-bay and yard sales.
