New Lures

[Fishwhittler]

Here's what I've been working on lately.

This is a very large jerkbait at 2 1/2 ounces, and it's 6 1/2" not counting the bill.

Catfish

The next two jerkbaits are more or less normal sized lures, although they're still 5" without the bills.

Yellow-belly Bluegill

Lava Tiger

Chartreuse Pepper

Here's another attempt at crackle. I still haven't quite got the crackle nailed down, but I'm very pleased with this one.

Molting Blue Razor Craw

Let me know what you think!

That catfish swimbait is SICK!

[BIG M]

Great looking baits Ben. The B2 clone is my fav but I have a soft spot for the big round square bills.

these are great looking baits.

[Nayte]

I love the catfish bait, it looks amazing. Great job

[tholmes]

They all look great!

The bluegill jerkbait is my favorite, though.

i'm curious how you're doing your splatter. are you using the airbrush to do this? i know some people use a paint brush

[lip ripson]

These look sweet dude, you must have lots of free time. That crackle paint looks nice, almost looks marble.

WOW...! :blink:

[Fishwhittler]

Thanks guys.

Dave, I used my airbrush for the splatter on these baits. I remove both the needle cap and nozzle cap and just use the nozzle.

haven't heard of that method. i like the splatter is produces. are you using very low air pressure to do this? seems to me if you had normal spraying pressure without a needle it would just soak your bait in paint

[Cliff Logue]

Those are all awesome baits. Excellent work. I really like your background for the pics also with the water droplets

[Fishwhittler]

I leave the needle in for splatter painting; the only parts I remove are the nozzle cap and the needle cap.

I use the same PSI for splattering that I use for normal painting.

Thanks Cliff! I can't take credit for the pics; my brother took those.
