Painting Crankbaits

[bollie27]

Not sure how many people airbrush their own baits. I use them for browns and walleye in the spring and for fall salmon outside the pier heads. I'll be posting a few new paint schemes and some glow patterns that I have done and if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask away.

Brian, I do not paint them myself, but have had CJ Baker paint some for me with great results. It would be interesting to see your Walleye paint schemes.

I'll get some posted in the next couple days here. Pretty excited for some of my newer ones too.

Brian painted several thin-fins and hot n tots for me. They came back perfect!

Brian, I am trying to pick up three magnum hot n tots. Can you do mettalics? I am looking for a copper, metallic lavender, and chartruese.

[bollie27]

Thanks Rick, hope they are working out for you.

Yes I can do mettalics! send em my way and i'll get em painted!

[Cork Dust]

Purchase finalized. I will be contacting you to work out shipping,cost, turn around, etc. Thanks!

Sounds good Rick, just finished remodeling my basement, so I'm ready to start painting again.

Please don't use them, they are terrible baits and I don't see how they would ever fool a fish.

Except for these which were obviously not very intelligent!

It's not really necessary to airbrush them. The fish don't give a rip about runs, drips, or errors. The pretty paint jobs are to catch fishermen. JMO

C'mon Jeff, you know you like saying "Custom" whenever we get one on those baits. I can't see your pics tho, computer is not letting me see them.

[bollie27]

finally got some time to get some crankbaits done, should be able to start painting on a regular basis once deer hunting is over...hopefully I can get out to try these on some fall night time walleye.

They look good Brian.

[mriversinco]

Those look really nice.

[Paulywood]

Very Nice!

[RedRider]

The one in the middle/bottom pic gets my vote. I would buy a couple .

[bollie27]

Thanks guys!! I actually get a lot of my ideas from salmon spoons, I like the color patterns. Something different that maybe the fish will react better to.

RedRider, once I start up painting more in a couple weeks, I'll shoot you a message, maybe we can work something out. That one is the new #9 flicker shad.

Made a lure for my brother in law...his name is Mike but we all call him Spike, so i put his name into the paint scheme of the lure, plus he likes musky fishing, so i got to use a decent sized crankbait.

[bollie27]

here's some new ones, got some more drying on the rack now too.

Brian,

I have a painting project for you if interested.

Spillway- nice, looked into it and i might give it a shot. Be cool to post some pics on their site catching some fish with it and to be custom painted as well.
