couple deep divers

[SilverFox]

I hate casting these things all day but sometimes you have to. Painted these Normans last night.

My wife told me my pics sucked... figured I would use the Canon instead of the iPhone this time.

 

[RUGER]

Looks great man.

 

[SilverFox]

Thanks. The 2nd one I thought was a bust. It looked like crap until I put the clear coat on it. When I did that the colors changed up pretty well. It's amazing what a little epoxy will do.

 

[easy45]

Looks great

 

[Planking]

I would pull the paint off that first one. Very nice!

 

[Prowler]

My favorite crank! Looks good!

 

[walker]

they look great

 

[SilverFox]

Thanks guys

 

[SilverFox]

Pictures with a good camera and stages sure make them look better. The wife was right.

 

[DaveB]

You do indeed have the touch, congratulations. Great work.

 

[SilverFox]

Thanks Dave. I'm just a beginner and I shake to bad to ever paint any detail. There are some guys out there painting baits that make them look real. I'm just lucky enough to be able to fade colors decently. I have had the shakes for years now and with arthritis, I figure it's only going to get worse.

Nice work

 

[ROUGH COUNTRY HUNTER]

Good job

 

[DaveB]

Shakes or not you do a great job. I swear to you my efforts look like a 3 year old with crayons.

Once I painted big red eyes on a lure. When my buddy saw it he took a knife and scraped it off telling me maybe 20 times you really don't need to be doing this You really shouldn't be doing this please no more the lure was just fine. He later told me it made my lure look like cyclops. I never told anyone that was my 5th attempt!!!

 

[SilverFox]

Ha! I have some I don't let anybody see. Those go in the scrap pile I pull out when i can start over.

 

[Thicketmaster]

Very nice work!

do you make any 9-12 runners in rootbeer color

 

[SilverFox]

I do not have any blank bodies that run that depth. Closest thing I have is a 7-9 foot bait. Midtnkayakangler on here said his wife paints. She might have something. I think the 5XD by Strike King runs that range. If you had an old one of those you could have it repainted by someone.

Rootbeer is one of those colors that can widely vary according to who is painting it. Rootbeer to me is more green than it is brown but Ive seen guys lean way brown. It's a hard color to get right because you never know exactly what the person wants.

 

[SilverFox]

All 4 of the tops of these plugs fall into the rootbeer range for people. The sides are a little different. On the sides of the 2 darkest is what a lot of guys call rootbeer. The rootbeer bandit 200 bait is what i lean towards if you know that color. It's hard to duplicate and i get it wrong more than right.

Id love to be able to paint some baits
