Hey guys, I've been busy with my airbrush painting various things over the last 2 months. Over the last week I painted these crankbaits. I'm gonna try 'em tomorrow at the Windsor ponds tomorrow.

Dude, didn't no that you are an artist as well as an angler. Nice job, good luck! I like the Jimi Hendrix Mad Dad Crank-cool.

Great looking baits. Let us know how you do on them!

Mad Dad scored two fish today.
Can I get a hell yeah!! }( :+ }(

Very nice baits! I just got a new compressor, I'm new to spraying baits but I have a couple of DD-22 and DD-14's that I sanded down and sprayed, kind of stoked on the whole airbrush thing. The baits pictured are epic, mine look like some kid drew on them with a crayon but I'm going to work on it!! Hell yeah, Chris!

Thanks dude.
Actually my first 3 or 4 lures "look like some kid drew on them with a crayon" also! :P These were like my 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th attempts. I still need to work on the eyes and gill plates though. Heck, I forgot to put gills on my baby carp! :+
What I really need is a good wood worker who wants to work with me to make some crankbait bodies.

WTG! No pics;( ?

Pics were taken on a disposable camera that didn't belong to me. I'm gonna have to wait until the camera is full before it's developed. x(

By the way, thank you very, very much for saying I'm a young man in your earlier post. I caught those fish on my 39th birthday! :+

Chris,

I like the bluegill pattern, looks very natural. I think the crankbait companies could do a lot better painting natural colored baits! Now the first one isn't exactly my bag :) but bass eat chartreuse so heck why not right?

chris,
Those are some sweet paint jobs! Mabey we could do a trade thsi spring some of my plastics for a few paint jobs, you can see a bit of my stuff in my album if your interested.

Hey let that Bass go I wanna catch her some day

Thanks Tim. Sure we could do a trade. Where can I find your album?

Chris,
The plastics are mine the lures are just some that friends have painted for me (http://calfishing.com/gallery/album16) I have lots more styles and can do pretty much any colors if you use senkos I pretty much have those mastered I like to do pearl colors in the that give off a baitfish type sheen. I won't be able to trade for a month or so since my pouring stuff is packed away right now but let me know if your interested.
