Painted up a few each of these trout candies this arvo. Im a big fan of my new rainbow trout pattern..
Might add some red speckle to the brown trout pattern though... 
These will be up for sale in the next few days if you are looking for some trout lures..
They come rigged with bbk hooks.

Got yourself a fair amount of stuff to keep you busy for a while there mate. Will be good to see what you do with these. Hope to see them hanging from a fish's mouth in the not to distant future 👍

Thanks southie, you wont regret it, well worth the trip..
cheers

Must book a trip to tassie one day...looks like paradise for me.
Nice video mate 👌

This video is one from many weeks ago when I headed back to the fast waters in the upper reaches of the Meander River.. Certainly a area that's a little tough on the body..
cheers

Cheers mate. 
Im glad the 1st lot of lures i sold are to fishos that actually fish and catch fish. So hopefully they come back with some good photos videos etc.... 
I'M hoping to get out alot more myself now that my overtime got taken from me at work. Plus winter trout fishing is alomost upon us so I'll be looking to paint up alot more trout lures... 
My biggest issue is finding blanks that not only work bu are going to be readily available for me to get..
Plus i don't want to step on other lure painters feet. Hence why i haven't painted any cod/callop lures...
It's also a case of do you bulk paint say 5 different types of lures in say 3-4 different patterns And sell bulk or do you go with paint what i feel like and try sell it? If it sells great. If not i guess it can be mine to use. Haven't decided yet. 
I'll  keep just painting lures and creating my own styles and if i sell a few great! If not no big deal... i know that when i do get a chance to  go out to fish I'll only be using my lures and Rezbait plastics. All my other brand name lures have been packed up and put to the side... 
 

Now i got my painting up to scratch i cant wait for yellowfin season... got some killer designs im mind... 
Been using alot of everyday items as stencils... once i get a mic for my go pro i might makea few videos up to run through the processes i go through to paint. 

If you managed to get onto any bent minnow blanks, Southie, I'd be very interested. Anywhere from 70mm to 180mm I'd have a use for them.

Cheers mate come in around 110mm and weigh 10 grams rigged... 
Depth around 1-1.5m and come rigged with bbk hooks and quality split rings
Perfect as a twitching jerkbait or a slow roll lure as it has a tight wobble to it... 
Certainty will be a snook,flathead, salmon mully killer... 
Sold them for 13 bucks a piece with free postage australia wide.
I think i have 4 of those blanks left which is unfortunate as they dont make them anymore 😂 but will find similar.
Once deliveries go back to normal ill load up on more blanks. Im still waiting for my last 500 dollar order to get to me

Well it's Official!

 
Got Rezbaits to put these lures up for sale on his Facebook page and they sold within an hour! Super Stoked to sell my first lot of lures!
With all the practice and trial and error I am getting more confident Everyday with my Lure painting skills and makes me keen on selling a few more. I was hesitant it getting them up for sale but glad i did. All the money goes towards more fishing gear so thats a plus!
Keep an eye out on the For Sale thread you might find some coming up for sale

Hi all..
I recently got a Watersnake PFD jacket from WA on special for $69 + $20 to post.....In red so its easily seen. Arrived today. Tried it on and its comfortable to wear.. Fits well..
way below half price..... Im getting old and not as strong a swimmer as I used to be.. so I thought that this would be a great idea... Had to try at that price... Hope I don't have to use it, but you never know....
Also got the new Storm Biscay minnows soft plastics to try on salmon this year for something different.. Not cheap but looks the part..
I got the 90mm and the 120mm.... Should work on flatheads as well...
Cant wait to go away again... Might do the bottom of Yorks for a week or 2 soon.... 
Mike
