First Painted Cranks

[flippindrew]

I just started painting crankbaits and I have to say its pretty addicting. Here are some of my first baits on my second day painting. These were all painted with SPRAYPAINT lol. How do they look?

[buzzking]

look about fifty times better than the first ones I tried
Probably why I gave it up . Just go rob a bank and get ya an airbrush then you can really get crazy.

Those look pretty good Drew!

They look good. The second to last is really cool. I am afraid you won't like the way they hold up in the rocks with that spray paint, but that is good practice.

well, lol in the past day and a half ive painted prob. 60 baits and i think the last time i thew one was october but, i did coat them with some devcon epoxy from ace. i think these will hold up pretty decent.

I made some this afternoon that look REALLY good in my opinion. Ill have to post them in a couple days. Its really addicting, probably b/c of all the fumes I've been brething in It kinda got to me today so I tied a t-shirt around my face

there goes the 17 brain cells you had....baits look good. Maybe you should give a few to somebody who throws a crank alot (Buck) and see if they catch fish.

I wonder if sniffing smelly jelly crawfish attractant kills brain cells too? if it does, i think i may be down to 1 or 2 left lol. but, i wouldnt mind sending you 1 or 2 too see how they do.

Drew,
The more you paint the more addictive this will become. Brent and Donnie Wilson turned me on to this when I worked at the Cain Pole and I've been doing it for about 5 years now. Get you an airbrush. THe amount of detail you can put in a bait will be unbelievable. Good Luck.

Here are a few that I just finished not too long ago.

c'mon! thats hitting below the belt! j/k lol. those are some really good looking baits, wish i had the money to get an airbrush and all that stuff. but, untill i can ill just have to stick with the graffiti baits. if i ever get an airbrush, ill have to get ahold of you for some lessons.

[H2Fishing]

Anything I can hel you with I'll be glad to. You can get an airbrush pretty cheap off of Ebay with the compressor and all, maybe $150. There is also a great sight for crankbait painting and all other types of baits. It's just a bunch of guys who do it as a hobby and will answer any questions you have. http://www.tackleunderground.com

You're going to have fun with this.

[flippindrew]

Cool, I'll look it up. Thanks. I'll be down there again this October, we'll have to grab a bite to eat or something.

[H2Fishing]

Sounds good to me. Look me up on here or e-mail me and we'll get together.

[flippindrew]
