Hey all! Thanks for coming to my channel! There’s few things better than fishing. The bite, the fight and most importantly the memories made with family and friends. However, making and painting your own lures makes alls those moments better! It’s an unreal feeling, and I hope you either paint along with me or get some ideas and start doing your own thing!
Thanks! I got the stencils from mapleairbrushsupplies.com (Artool Texture Fx), the mesh I believe was an Amazon purchase but craft store around the holidays get some ribbons with interesting patterns. Enjoy!
Looks great. Funny thing is I foiled like six of these exact blanks. I’m going to try a couple painted like this for me and my brother. Very cool pattern. Thanks.
Thanks 🙏 so much, excellent work, really useful!! What about the stencil that you use at minute 10 on the 2nd lure, where did you get it from? Thanks 🙏
I'll have to admit, I'm a little disappointed. I understand that this is a painting channel, and that's basically why I haven't subscribed. But you titled this video "Carving a Walleye" and completely skipped all the carving, which is what I came for. Overall, very nice job an the handle.
It’s just as important to know your short comings as it is your successes. Valid point, when I went to edit all the clips together and noticed there was no actual carving it was a bit of a forehead slapping moment. But LIVE and LEARN! I’ll keep working to earn your subscription :) Have a great day and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
@@havenlures Thank you for the reply and your honesty. I am a hobbyist lure maker and have made over 200 wooden lures. I spend an excessive amount of time on some lures, up to two weeks. And I enjoy watching others make them, or fish like objects that I can learn from.
I think this is your best video yet… the paint scheme was amazing … and I think both the hand carved and the paint only videos either or would be awesome… awesome work!!
That turned out really nice. I’m gonna try the idea about coating the bait to start with a smooth finish on some of my repaints that are not smooth. Thx
You are way too hard on yourself by apologizing for your last video. It looked great,,,,kind of a mottled female bream pattern that I wouldn't hesitate to throw in a stained to clear water situation. Sometimes a crisp pattern is too much,,,, a mottled blended pattern is preferable and actually let's you work the bait slower while giving the illusion of a faster moving bait. If naysayers express differently,, then they're not worth their own salt. I subscribe because I like your work ,,, not all for my taste ,,, but a majority. So there,,, I gave you a reason to do more just like that.
Oooooh buddy! I’m excited for you! Fishing is a hobby that will only get better with the more you learn, and the learning never ends. Hope you stick around and enjoy some more videos. If you have any questions I’d be more than happy to help you out
Excellent Smallmouth Replica, while You’re doin imitations, Would You consider painting a Peacock Bass ? You have the Artistic Skills, Thanks for Painting
Nice Sunfish pattern, and Very Informative Video, I like the way You used resin to modify Your stencil, Question ? How do You test your paint to recreate the colors in a picture ? I’m struggling with painting a Bluegill pattern because of wrong colors, What would You suggest, Thanks for Sharing
Thank you very much! As far as testing the paint, that’s a big question. And unfortunately not a question that has a single answer but I’ll try my best. Before using any colour on a lure test it out on paper first-this way you’ll learn how it sprays. Any subsequent colour will go through the same process but for these colours I suggest a small overlapping with the previous colour to see if/how they react and look together. Over time you’ll learn the characteristics of the paints you have. Hope this helps, if you want more info feel free to ask. Good luck!
Fantastic Color Combination, Nice pattern, I’m a new subscriber and I just started air brush painting lures September 23, I picked it up as a hobby since I’ve retired, I’m 65 and really Enjoying painting different patterns that I can create with just cutting paper, Thanks for the Excellent Informative Videos, I’ll be watch more
Si quieres que el cromado quede mejor, el fondo debe de ser muy brillante da igual que el señuelo sea transparente o negro. El problema es cuando aplicas sobre el cromado una vez terminado el barniz para protegerlo da igual el barniz o resina epoxi, el cromado se pierde i queda simplemente gris
Having that compressor going on and off would be annoying, you should get one with a reserve tank, I have one and it might start once or twice during a painting session.
Not sure what they were called the supplier doesn’t have them anymore, but to be honest, it’s for the best. A 20 pack had about 6 that ran the way they should
Sorry man, I’m not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if this stays shiny after topcoat? If so, yes. I used KBS Diamond clear and didn’t notice any dullness afterwards. What chrome sprays are you using that go dull?? Let me know if this answers your question or if I’m way out in left field on this one
So the stencils used were: Artool Texture FX2 www.mapleairbrushsupplies.com/products/texture-fx2 Hand cut gill plate Hand cut bar Wire ribbon (online somewhere, can’t recall, it’s quite old)
I get good enough results from foil, or even Pearl Silver over Black. Can't really justify the cost difference of that marker refill for my use. But it does look nice.
Yeah fair enough, foil definitely still has its place. And until I can find a shiny gold spray I’ll still dabble with foil. Thanks for watching though!
Hey mate, glad I found this video as I was looking to buy some Meeden paints off eBay. Random question that you may have answered in a previous video, but where do you get your Lure blanks to pain?
I have but I’m happy to answer it again. Most of them come from AliExpress. Within the next month or so I’ll be launching a website that will link to the lures I use. Hopefully you stay tuned for that. But in the meantime-AliExpress
The brand I use is Gorilla Gel Super Glue, but any super glue will work. I like the Gel because it’s thicker and squishes flat to fill the eye socket to remove most of the air. Then you will have less of a chance of small air bubbles in your top coat.
