Foiled bluegills

[BIG M]

Tried my bluegill pattern over foil.   The foil job was not my best work but I like both baits.   Threw in a couple of extras just for fun.

Very, very nice baits!

Very nice BIG M!

Without doubt some of your best looking baits. That little extra flash from the foil should just kill the bass. You da man.

Are those transparent paints.  I haven't seemed to get the right effect over foil.  I've not tried clearing and maybe that is the problem.  It looks drab when I paint over the foil but maybe if I went ahead and cleared it the shine would come through the drab paint over it.  Is this likely?

[BIG M]

I have always clear coated the foil before painting.   I have not tried painting on the foil.   I like to clear coat first so I can wipe off my screw ups.

I'll take those foiled bluegills off your hands if you don't like 'em. Heck, I'll even throw in shipping.

In all seriousness I think they look fine. I'm sure they'll catch plenty of fish. If I hadn't blown all my money on jig making supplies and shiny JDM reels I'd definitely order a couple of them from ya.

I always clear after the foil before painting also but I just have not painted and then tried to see if it shines through.  It seems like it is really drab after I paint over the cleared foiled.  I'll just have to try it.

nice work!

Use transparent paints and when you clear coat the foil will show under the paint.

Ok.  I'll give it a shot.  Thanks.  I'll have to get some transparent. I don't have a lot of it.  That'll give me a reason to get some.

When you start shooting transparents you will find that the only opaque colors you will shoot will be white and black. They also shoot easier as well.....don't have to use reducer much.
