Please note, this is not an attempt to sell anything or promote.
As some on here know, I have a little side gig making custom jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits etc. I picked up an airbrush to start offering a "premium" spinnerbait line, little did i know what it would turn into.  Just wanted to show some progression and the learning curve some, and answer any questions.  Attached Filefirst spray, looks great huh  Attached Filethis was my 4th bait in I believe, started progressing in fading and stencil work.  Attached Filethink ive got the gill figured out, still need to clean it up some.  Attached Filefirst big swimbait spray (7") Ill keep updating as I progress if anyone is interested |

Today I learned people paint their own fishing lures. Who knew.
And today I learned some people are really, really fantastic at it. That looks incredible OP! |

Thanks guys. Im still learning. Its a ton of trial and error.
But got some fresh sonicsides and 2.5 squarebill blanks in today. Pumped to get some painted. Also a bonus topwater. The topwater has a colorshift paint on top. It actually shifts from a violet to a greenish blue depending on how the light hits it. Its wild.  Attached File Attached File |

Wanted to post an update. This was by far my most complex paint to date. A lot of shading in it. It is a 7" Influencer glide. Looking forward to getting some clear on it.

Allow me to bump this thread back to the top.... That airbrush work is amazing! I wish I could do something that great, but sadly, I am slightly colorblind since birth. Now you all know why the US Coast Guard wouldn't let me do this, do that, this rating/MOS, or that rating/MOS, etc... They stuck me behind a desk doing Admin duties as a Yeoman. Oh well.... Somebody had to do the paperwork!
 At least I made a full career out of it and retired....Anyway, getting to the point. I too have been dabbling in fishing lures, spinners, crankbaits, swimbaits, etc... ever since the 70's. It's been a hobby that I've always had. Now that I am a grayhaired grandpa, and soon going to retire (again) from the public schools, I thought of making a little side-business out of my house, with fishing lures. Mainly just designing them, and assembling them from factory parts/pieces. It this a comfortable easy going business to get into? I can imagine the "competition" is quite fierce with guys doing incredible custom paint schemes (which I can't do). I just don't want to get into this type of field, and lose my a$$, if you know what I mean...  |
