Custom Painted Hard Baits

[gnugen]

Earlier this year I started airbrushing blank hard bait bodies. Haven't tied them on yet, got into fly fishing and tying.

Wondering if people would order custom colours if there was a possibility in Alberta?

The hardest part was learning the basics of paint viscosity and building and producing stencils. A bit of trial and error as some patterns took a few tries to get a pattern to where I like it. There are tons of options and glow patterns are also possible.

I do have larger stick baits in fact you can see the models I currently have below. I'd like to stay pretty reasonable so in that price range depending on order size and request. Generally speaking it's easier to paint a few of the same pattern. Keep the air brush clean between paint colours is the most important factor.

Ever play around with stripping paint off a bait and re-painting it? I have some taildancers and beat up live targets I want painted

Very nice. I would be interested in some. Really like the orange and yellow pattern. Also bigger hard baits would interest me as well.

me too ..... If you have anything over 6" I would be interested. I take no pleasure in removing hooks from a fishes gills with most of the undersized hard baits people use. I like the bigger hard baits ( lil' ernies, triple D's etc...) type baits - if you have some stuff like that .... I'm interested.

I have stripped a lot of jig heads but would quickly experiment with a hard bait I have to remove paint!

If you can source the bodies it would be great to match the colours you'd like.

I just have those bodies shown however there are resources to purchase blank bodies in huge sizes.
