Painting an Arctic Char!

When painting any lure, the secret is LAYERING! Taking the time to build up your layers will 1) Reduce errors 2) Give you a chance to fix errors 3) Create a lure that has depth that’s appealing to the eye!

Fantastic man, the gills especially were on point. Good pacing on the video too... its surprisingly hard to find blank painters that get right into it, show the important stuff, fast forward when needed, and cut out the down time entirely... I appreciate that you do that so we don't have to skip ahead, trying to guess where the important stuff might be, LOL! Keep it up man, looking forward to the next one!

I try LoL! Figure if I’m getting bored editing it-there’s ZERO chance someone will watch it. So I really appreciate the feedback, lets me know I’m on the right track. I was pleased with how the gills turned out as well, funny how the small details can make the difference. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

Great job, what's the name of the clear coat you use at the end?

Hell I know some call that an arctic char but where I come from we call them Dolly Varden

[@havenlures]

Hahaha I had to look that up! Never heard of that one before. Sounds like it’s a trout?? But then they refer to the trout and the char as being similar…crazy how much overlap there is with trout and char. WELL TODAY I LEARNED SOMETHING, and I haven’t even had my morning coffee!! Thanks buddy, good to hear from you

[@charleyhendersonj.r.6297]

@@havenlures sorry to break that news to you before we had coffee but I had my coffee at 5:00 this morning keep the good work coming love the videos

[@StompingGroundLures]

Where do you source your lure blanks from?

[@havenlures]

Mostly overseas. I’d love to buy them more locally but it’s WAY more expensive to ship from U.S. to Canada than it is China to Canada. Go figure.
