Kuerschie 2,309 Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 10 hours ago, southie THE BANGA said: My latest project Softy asked for some callop lures so after some research and finding some to suit the depths and conditions for the variety of ways people will fish them. So after 2 weeks they finally arrived. So decided to prep and start placing the sealent undercoat and base coat tonight to let it dry overnight to add the next colours to it... Softy gave me a photo of one of his favourite lure patterns so i am going to replicate it but put my own twist on it... The lures are 100m from start of bib to tail end. (Only 5mm larger than the popular Daiwa rpm crank and weigh 15grams roughly with terminal added. Come with rattles too. Dives to 10ft-12ft If interested let me know as i have sooo many colours and patterns available for this lure.. I’ll take a couple for sure! bjorn2fish, Meppstas and southie THE BANGA 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 So update on Softys Callop Lures. After i had applied the base coat of Yellow i added pearl orange to the sides of the lure.... I then added Pearl Pineapple to the belly to give the yellow a little more pop! Then i added an colour called Detail Sepia which is an dark brown. I added it to the top of the bait I have now used an transparent sealer over the top of the bait so i can add the stencil pattern tomorrow. The sealent is just a safe guard when using stencils that it doesn't scratch or damage the paint... So tomorrow the pattern is gonig to go onto the lure then from there it will just need eyes and completed. I also have done two different Purple colours that i will be inverting the 2 purples on each of the baits with a criss cross pattern. Hard to explain but will show once finished.... Both purple baits will be finished with black backs and black around the eyes. If you think there are other colour combinations you'd like to see be sure to let me know i still have another 15 of these blanks and i also have plenty of colours to choose from Squid Inc., Kuerschie, Meppstas and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Softy 2,991 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Can't wait to give them a run! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted June 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Added the pattern onto some of them this morning. Stencils are the best thing ever to add another dimension to lures... added 3 different stencils to 3 different baits... Just needs sealant then clear coat Nd eyes and they are ready to smash PBs The middle one is my favourite out of the lot!

southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted August 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hey all Been quiet on the fishing/painting front with me... Been working my arse off at work to start getting to look at purchasing my 1st house .. So with that been hindering my fishing time with all the overtime I've been doing... my car decided to shit itself again 2months later im only getting it back on Monday! Bloody Covid! So it's been a pretty stressful couple months... But when it hasn't been cold out in the shed i have been painting up a few lures here and there for my own personal use... I have been using a new clear coat that is alot quicker and harder than what i have previously been using.... Hopefully with winter almost behind us it means a few more nights in the shed to start painting up the yellowfin whiting lures for the up coming season..... Heres a few of my personal collection i whipped up bjorn2fish, Squid Inc., Yorky and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
