Thanks Ryan ! I have caught more fish on my original Perch lure than any of the other lure I’ve painted and used. I also know it has caught fish not only here in New Hampshire but also in Maine, New York, Ohio, Texas and Georgia. It has become so popular that I have expanded the offering to include not only the original, this Shad Rap KO, a Lipless Crankbait and a Whopper Plopper type lure and just got a request from a repeat customer today to paint this pattern on a Popper and a Spook type lure as well. Too much fun ! Thanks again !

Thanks David ! Appreciate ya ! Did that crawler ever arrive ? I think I misplaced the tracking info.

Thank you so much !

@@EthanKanak-j6s Hey Ethan ! Thanks buddy, I really appreciate that !!

@@jurajanal2277 hello Jura, glad to hear from you after my Giveaway snafu. With the Createx paints I’m finding that it is imperative to reduce the Pearls but I agree that the Opaques and Transparent paints don’t need it as much or at all. You could see the effect of reducing that Detail Moss Green too much , thankfully I was able to over it up. I just started using some of the color shifting paints from Vallejo which you will see me use in some upcoming videos and although I can’t speak about the model air paints, I will say the Shifters are already as thin as water. Still waiting for my surgery which was rescheduled for Feb. 13th . Thanks for asking !

@RaggedEdgeLureWorks can't wait to see the shifters! Will probably order some myself because, from what I've seen on other channels (mainly Solarfall baits), greens and purples over dark backgrounds are really nice.

@@jurajanal2277 the difference between putting them over a black base - vs- a white base is crazy.

Thanks Douglas ! This Is definitely my favorite pattern to paint and I have now extended the line-up to include a “RattleTrap” style Lipless Crank-bait as well as a “Whopper Plopper” style tail splashed lure. I never imagined this painting hobby would be so much fun and I continue to learn something with just about every lure I paint. I really enjoy experimenting with different colors and paints and with the help of others I keep learning something of the ins and outs of working with an airbrush. I really appreciate the kind words !

Thanks John, appreciate you buddy !

Thanks Mike ! That’s the reason I like the sponge over a hard lined stencil, I think it really does look more realistic too. Happy if I inspired you in any way, I find so much inspiration from so many other painters here on TH-cam as well. Would love to see what you’re doing as well so don’t be afraid to start sharing. Thanks again !

@@Fish-Erman Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I have fished transparent lures before but never a clear blank. Personally I have been more of a soft plastic bait angler in the past but after starting this hobby of painting I am using crank-baits a whole lot more. I really enjoy painting and trying to come up with patterns that I think will catch fish while showing that it is not really hard to paint lures and with a moderate initial investment it can be a really fun hobby. Lots of times I don’t think the fish care how fancy a paint job is, they’ll hit just about anything. Fancy painted lures catch more fisherman than fish…lol.

@@Indyjeeplover Thanks for the tip. I have just started using 4030 at a 10 to 1 ratio (Createx paint to 4030) I then add my 4011 at approximately 50/50. The 4030 is also supposed to enhance flow and paint adhesion but I am only using it on my white base coat so far. I’ll look into the UVLS. l really appreciate comments like this. I am always trying to learn as I go since this is all kinda new to me and I’ve only been paint for less than a year. Do you add the UVLAS to every color you paint ? ( let’s say your 1st coat being your base white primer, 2nd coat being a Chartreuse coat before adding stencil work) . Thanks again !

@ I personally use UVLS/reducer mix in about all my Createx paints and sometimes others, though probably 95% of my paints are Createx. The Wicked line takes less than the original ones but I still add some. I feel If you use the UVLS/reducer mix it not only makes the paint tougher but it also about eliminates tip dry. I thin my paints enough that I typically shoot at 20# or less. When I watch TH-cam channels I can usually tell who doesn’t thin their paint because there will be overspray on anything in their booth. They have to use higher pressure and it blows the paint over a wider area. IT REALLY helps flow with pearls and metallics I do use Golden Titanium White as it’s a more intense and brighter than Createx IMO. Another tip…..obviously you can use satin gold under colors like orange or green, and particularly yellow to get more vibrant colors. If you want to really make them pop use Createx Gold Chrome. Be advised that this particular color requires a few extra steps. If you are interested reply and I’ll fill you in. In sunlight they look like they have a light inside

@ Awesome info, thanks ! I typically shoot my paints at <15 psi and when doing detail work <10 psi. I was not thinning my paints for quite a while but was getting a lot of spatters, tip dry etc. as I guess you would expect. I am now reducing all of my paints close to 50/50. Really interested in hearing more about the Gold Chrome and how you use it ! On another note, can you tell me what airbrush you use ? I started out really cheap when I started out and the set up I bought came with a Master G22, (.035 tip ) was having issues with it and got a Iwata Neo with a .035 nozzle tip from Hobby Lobby for $69, it’s better but not great. I then bought a Master G33 and like the .05 tip and it’s working out ok for $35.00 from Amazon. My buddy Kris who is a really great lure builder/ painter swears by the Iwata HP-CS but it’s a little pricy @ $179.00 for my budget….. maybe in time. Just curious what others are using. Thinning paints properly has made a huge difference with my cheaper airbrushes performing better but they can still be frustrating. I am grateful for any info you are willing to share .

@ I have three brushes, though I’m only using two. My main brush is a HP-CS eclipse with the .35 tip. As noted, it’s quite a bit more costly but my philosophy is that I’m going to use it quite a bit and I’m not going to suffer along with inferior equipment. After all, is $75-$100 really that much today? My second brush for detail work is a Creos 771 which is usually even more expensive but I got it $100 off during a sale at Spraygunner. It runs at low pressure which is great for detail work. Has a .18 tip. My third is a Neo. The Neo is not quite as precise and more tricky to clean. Haven’t used it in over a year As for the frustrating part, I’ve virtually eliminated issues by being EXTREMELY careful about dried paint on my bottle caps. It only takes a super small piece significantly smaller than a piece of sand to clog the tip..Before you dispense paint look at the cap. If there is any, and I mean any hardened paint I either pick it off or clean it off with alcohol or reducer. Be sure to look inside the opening where the paint comes out. I cringe when I see guys flip up the cap and squirt paint into their brush. Asking for issues.

The Gold Chrome….per Createx, it MUST be used over a smooth white base, be shot at a minimum of 40# using a minimum.35 tip, and be applied in 4-5 very light coats that are dried to the touch between coats. Otherwise it pools

@@JumbleTronChannel Thanks Ryan, your too kind as usual. I’m not sure why he said he couldn’t get it anymore but he took the one I offered him and I just had to put the other one in my own personal tackle box. My approach to fishing this coming summer is gonna take on a whole new look with a bunch of these new hard baits taking a front seat over my soft plastic game.

@@134rwa Thanks Russell, yes he liked it a lot and took one but I wanted to keep the other one for myself. 🙌

@@AnglingSpiders Thanks Sean , appreciate that.

@@BigBaitPosse Thanks Mike !

@@magcolor Thanks !

@@JohnAmes thanks John

@@davidwilliams1805 Thanks David ! Did that crawler ever show up ? I sent the tracking info to your personal email.

@@mullisoutdoors Hmmmm Gold Finger huh ? Cool name, I like it and might just have to try to refine this one some and add it to my Etsy store when I get that opened up. Thanks Lance !

@@douglasmcgraw1572 Thanks Douglas, thankfully the customer did want one of them and I am happy he only wanted one cuz the other is definitely going in my personal tackle box. I may try to refine this one some and add it to my Etsy store when I get that opened up.

@@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors Thanks Dale ! He did indeed take one of them and I am happily putting the other one in my own tackle box. I’m not sure this is a pattern I will try to sell but am definitely going to mess around and try to improve it after this experiment. Have a great rest of your Sunday.

@@mikemcelveen2973 Thanks Mike ! I know it’s hard to see in the video but the scales show up better in person. Thanks for watching !

@@ZAZUBAITS4U. Thanks ! I’m spraying at ~10 psi most of the time for pearls. I may go up to 15 psi when I am priming lures and down to ~7-8 psi when doing detail work. Working for me so far. Thanks for watching.

@ ok thanks

@@AnglingSpiders Thanks Sean.

@@mullisoutdoors Thanks Lance 👍

@@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors Thanks Dale , Happy New Year to you and yours as well. Bodhi says “hey from snowy NH” to Buster.

@@RaggedEdgeLureWorks You know I am a terrible Speller, I actually had his name typed out and I was like, Man, I dont think they is how you spell his name, so I changed it to pup hahhaa, Bodhi, got it brother, thank you for helping me, I Hope yall have a blessed week. PS Buster said hey Brodhi. hahha Dale

@@Dominic.Minischetti Happy New Year Dom ! 👍

@@douglasmcgraw1572 Thanks Douglas ! Happy New Year !

Congrats!

All good, I hope you'll put it to good use and catch plenty of bass. I'd probably get bit off by a mean old pike. This just gives me more the reason to attempt and make my own one.

@@jurajanal2277 Thanks for your understanding Juraj ! I really would have liked to see what you could have caught with it. Happy New Year !

@@davidwilliams1805 Happy New Year to you and yours David

@@RaggedEdgeLureWorks oh I imagine some big pike and catfish wouldn't mind slamming a lure that makes a ton of noise, and with copper and orange color scheme I'm confident it would lure in asp and ide since they mainly feed on similar color insects (hornets, wasps) that fall in the water. Happy New Year to you and everyone reading!

@@JohnAmes Happy New Year John !

@@BigBaitPosse 👍

@@JumbleTronChannel Thanks Ryan ! 👍

@@134rwa Thanks Russel ! I had to do a redraw so you did have a chance but it wasn’t your turn apparently. I’ll try to come up with something cool for 400.

@@squirrellyacres 👍

@@jurajanal2277 So glad you entered in time. Congratulations! I hope you enjoy fishing with this lure and catch something with it.

@@RaggedEdgeLureWorks oh absolutely! I plan on putting it to good use, will send you pictures if I can remember (sorry, us younger folks have attention spans and memory of a gold fish). Just sent you an email, if something is missing or is unclear send one back and we'll sort it out. Once again thank you!

@@jurajanal2277 Thanks for the kind words, yes surgery has been postponed until Feb 13 so I am painting feverishly between now and then. Your comment came in time as I will be doing the drawing tonight. Hope your Grandma’s eye surgery goes well for her. You are entered 🤞

Thanks ! Unfortunately my surgery has been postponed until Feb 13th 😡. Oh well, such is life. You are entered 🤞

@ well I guess you have some more time to produce some outstanding paint schemes.

@@RegularGuyLures and you can bet I have been painting feverishly 👍

@@4499duke Thanks John, well you just opened up the possibility of getting one of these. You are entered 🤞

@@BirchSteadOutdoors Thanks Katie ! I’m really happy to see you over here, you’ve always been a great supporter and one of my favorite channels to follow along with, whether you’re in the woods, on the water or all the fun stuff you’ve got going on around the Homestead, you’ve always been a breath of fresh air and I appreciate you. I’m really enjoying playing with this lure painting thing and learning as I go. It’s definitely been a lot of fun and still so much to learn but the learning / experimenting is the fun part. You are entered my friend 🤞

@@gadirtracer247 Thanks !

Thanks Lance, much appreciated my friend ! Today was my scheduled surgery day but sadly things don’t always go as planned and such is the case this week. To say I was very bummed out when I got the news and the new surgery date would be in understatement but such is life and sh*t happens, nothing to do but accept the reality and move forward. Thanks for your thoughts, the are truly appreciated ! I will probably put together a short update video on my BTO channel as several of you folks I consider true friends have reached out. Oh yeah …you are entered. 🤞 🙏

@@RaggedEdgeLureWorks I'll be on the look out for it Brother! I hate that it got pushed back, but like you say, it's life and sometimes you got to roll with the punches. I always keep you and Karen in my thoughts and prayers and I hope Y'all have a Marry Christmas!!

@@mad_monkeys4438 Thanks for checking it out. You are entered 🤞

@@JumbleTronChannel I had a bait similar to this years ago called a “crazy crawler” that I inherited from my Grandfather but lost it on the first cast to a big Northern Pike. Not quite a trout lure. Thanks Ryan !
