southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Just thought i'd put a thread up of some of the other lures i have painted up at the moment. Originally my main goal was to mainly paint the topwater Lures for YFW and sell them just as an hobby sort of thing. However after watching countless hours of Youtube and reading forums I now know there is alot more i can paint/create and not to pump them out quantity wise. Instead getting creative and painting for Quality and doing it more for myself. Unfortunately I have painted up most of the blanks I originally had. I have a few hundred dollars worth of blanks, films, stencils and bits and pieces i have purchased being held as the coronavirus hit most of the areas I purchase my gear from. So am waiting for freight companies to resume there services so i can start painting up new lures.. My main blanks I am planning to paint will be for the upcoming season. So will mainly be Trout, Redfin and Salmon lures. I have a range of Stickbaits, and metals for the Salmon. The Trout and Redfin will be a range of minnows perfect for both dams/lakes and creeks and streams. I will keep you all up to date with the processes and what I create. In the mean time here are a couple I have painted over the last month or so .... Yorky, Meppstas, Sykes and 11 others 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Softy 2,991 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I agree that top one looks nuts! I'd buy one and just to look at and not use. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Softy 2,991 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Any plans to do some bigger lures for Callop? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So many other people paint great lures for callop and cod. In saying that Callop lure blanks are readily available as they are similiar types bass fishos use in the states... plus stencils are easy to come by for them too so they make them easyto paint... So if i get some interest i might. Just dont want to be stuck with them and waste $$$ Softy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted February 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Cheers all. Got some big plans and ideas running through my mind so we'll see how i go... Tried something different tonight.... Every Lure painter seems to sign there baits with there signature, but i have fat fingers and its hard to sign on small lures so saw another idea on Youtube and decided to give it a go.... Looks really good in my opinion. just adds that special touch... I printed on some waterslide transfer paper and then slide it onto the bait... then cleared over the top of it.... I like it as mentioned adds an special touch to a custom job.... Can only do Black fonts at the moment but once i upgrade will be doing other colours to contrast the lure i am painting.... Got something special planned with this water transfer paper, just waiting on my blanks to come! Meppstas, Hunter69, Yorky and 8 others 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 So been off work for a week after getting 3 wisdom teeth removed. So when i was feeling up to it i decided to paint a few more baits up... Been thinking about what lures i will be painting to be selling for this season... Hopefully i can figure out a good price for lures painted and rigged with good terminal tackle... Like mentioned previously will be concentrating on Freshwater. Mainly trout and redfin. And i will also be painting up Salmon lures aswell. So stay tuned for some lures coming up for sale soon. Also if you are after a certain style of lure you'd like to see sendme a message and i can see what i can find for you. bjorn2fish, doobie, Softy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 The great thing about painting your own lures is you can create your own style and colours... Been messing around with a few different patterns and styles just perfecting my painting skills and styles... This photo doesn't do justice on how good this actually looks. This is an semi transparent Rainbow trout pattern that i will be rolling with when selling a few lures. I'll be looking at transparent redfin pattern and brown trout pattern aswell for the dams and creeks in SA. This pattern is for HB tragic he asked me to paint for awhile. Now that i finally have a cleat Im happy with and a paint scheme i was satisfied with. once its finished mate ill hit you up. This one is an 120mm sinking stickbait in an transparent pearl blue, pink and silver top. This lure looks so dam porn in the flesh! Hoping to give a couple to some guys chasing Tuna. These last ones are just a couple small chubby lures i painted in random colours thinking they wouldn't swim well. But actually swam straight from the get go... Ill use these for reddies in the winter Squid Inc., Softy, Meppstas and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolute ripper of a colour. Would be a demon on rainbow trout southie THE BANGA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
