southie THE BANGA

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. 

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...

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

Doing a great job with those lures. Look fantastic. If you can do some videos with those lures catching some nice fish, they will sell like hotcakes. Might be an idea to hook up with that young fella doing regular videos on land, kayak & boat fishing "AlexsFishin" ..

^^^ What he said. Regards HBt.

My 1st thought were for Flatties. Super keen to see future interations. Keep up the good work mate - your patterns and finishes are looking the goods 👌

Painted these jerkbait style minmows up in my mullet pattern. I like this pattern and will be keeping it as an staple part of lures that I'll be selling every nowand then.
Most lures will be sold between 8-12 bucks also dependant on wethe or not people need terminal tackle rigged to them. Atleast the bare minimum they will come with split rings as people like to put there own hooks/trebles on...

I also painted these up for myself some bream crankbaits...
Might get into bream lures a bit more as easy to get ahold of and people bream fish! 

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!

Nice video mate.... Hopefully i can get more blanks and paint some up for ya for the season coming!

Seeing as the trout season is now closed here in Tassie I thought I would post a trout fishing video on the site every now & then,  This was from one of my early trips during the trout season..
cheers

So I picked up a Wilson Supergraph Big Water Bream Rod for an absolute bargain of a price. The only Downside is the Butt end is very short and isn't comfortable to put under the arm. So i will be having a crack and constructing my own Extended Rod butt section. 

 
I took the rubber fighting cap off and used a set of verniers to measure the inside diameter of the blank. I then found an old broken rod blank that would slip into the blank and be tight enough to bond the two blanks together with resin. 
 


 
I cut the old blank to go up the blank only to below the Reel seat so it doesn't effect rod action and weight. The piece of blank i used once fixed to inside the Supergraph Rod I will then Tape it all to make it even, add sand grit tape then add heat shrink over the blank to tidy up to make it look like it was ment to be apart of it. The final touch will be to add an EVA Foam grip on the bottom just to finish it off... In the end it should look something like this but neater.. (was a mock up i test fitted)
 


 
It's just a little project inbetween rod builds while i'm waiting for parts for my other rod builds. Keep an eye on this space.. Will Post updates as they come to hand.
