Spray Painting A Wake Bait

[countryfried]

im thinking about spray painting one of my wakebaits to black to imatate bluegill, could this work ?

Depends on your skills, I'd think. I usually use nailpolish for painting hardbaits. By painting, I mean touch-up jobs, Sometimes, I use sharpies, and coat it with clear nail polish/ nail hardener to seal it in.

I suspect you'd have more of a problem with it than the bass. They don't demand a perfect paint job and are more than willing to hit cranks with half the paint scraped off.

I agree. Especially on constant moving sub surface lure....they're going to see mostly belly anyway. If you want to paint it just for grins, post how you do. If you're painting to catch more fish, I wouldn't bother. The action is going to catch the fish before its pretty paint job.

It's a wakebait.

Mostly, what do the fish see when they eat it? The bottom.

Paint jobs on waking baits are over rated. Get two, spray paint one black and one white. You'll be set most places in the country.
