Here are some baits I've painted recently, still working on making my own, so i'm using the plastic bodies as practice pieces

Bluegill 1

Perch

Panfish

Brownish Bass

This one is basswood, but it's shad

Siebert Outdoors reply :

Awsome paint jobs. Those are great looking baits

wickyman reply :

Those are awesome! I like the panfish/brownish bass! I can't wait to airbrush mine now...

SPEEDBEAD. reply :

Selling any of those?

Wayne

dampeoples reply :

Thanks! I love painting

Nah, not selling the plastic baits, they are cheap Lucky Craft knockoffs I got from Jann's, and they don't have the performance. But at $1.75 per blank, and they sell finished lures for $3 or so, you can't expect them to! I'm not willing to put my name on something like that, basically The bodies are great for practicing patterns on, that's for sure.

I am working on some plugs, making them from scratch here at the house, I'll post some of those when I get a bit (ok, a LOT) closer!

Thanks again for the compliments, and for looking

Munkin reply :

I really like those bluegill ones on top.

Now you have to post some of your spinnerbaits.

Allen

dampeoples reply :

OK Here are a few spinnerbaits!

Bass

Shad

Chart

Another Bass

And Bluegill

These are fun to do!

Munkin reply :

Here is my "pumkinseed bluegill" I have several different head colors but I am still working on the skirt color.

Those baits on top look real familiar?

Allen

stroz reply :

Those all look sweet.I really dig that perch. You do great work... Stroz

woodpro1102 reply :

Awesome job. I know you said you werent selling them but if you ever change your mind I wouldnt mind buying one. I want to start a collection of custom baits. They will most likely be to look at only in a nice display or something. Keep up the great work.

Alex

wickyman reply :

d**n bro, you are really talented! I like those spinners! They almost look like mini bass! I also second the buying of those for a collection. I don't care about the quality, I just collect!

BIG M reply :

I can say one thing for sure, that's not your first time with an airbrush. That is some serious painting (from someone that knows) If you ever want to shoot some balsa bodies worth putting your name on let me know.

wickyman reply :

You guys are great! I need to get the old airbrush back out, and shoot my top waters... I need a good crankbait blank! One day I will find a quality one!

Hawgin reply :

Those bluegill that you painted are amazing looking. If you ever wanted to sell those, or it you wanted to paint up some more in that pattern and sell them I would definitely be interested in them.

woodpro1102 reply :

Looks like you have a chance to make back a little of the money you spend on blanks and paint. I am very impressed with these and cant wait to see more from you.

Alex

WhiteMike1018 reply :

Wow I really like the looks of all of those...that is excellent work! Good Job!

Them Spinnerbaits look absolutely ridiculous man...did you glue them eyes on there also?

And is that a custom skirt or one that comes with the assortment?

dampeoples reply :

Thanks guys! I'm flattered

Allen - I like that pumpkinseed, but more than that, I like that jig with the hair, that's something I've never learned to do!

I do sell stuff, just not the plugs! I'd love to move into more painting though.

Speaking of collection, that's kind of what I'm trying to do, make a 'set' of colors/patterns like perch, bass, crappie, bluegill, shad, striper, etc, etc. Kind of a challenge to me, I figure if I can paint 'real' fish, I can paint any patterns out there that's catching them

JFisher reply :

Dude man,

Sent you a message with a cash offer to buy your cranked up baits. Do me a solid brother

dam peoples, beautiful work. I have no doubt when you start making your own, that the quality will match your painting skills.

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Very nice stuff DP.

dampeoples reply :

Thanks again! This is really fun stuff Gonna hopefully work on a Striper and Crappie pattern soon, but with the weather taking more of a turn to nice, I dunno

Oh, and not for sale is not for sale! I don't have most of them now anyway, most I give to my club members, others I trade away. I keep a few to fish with, I tied that flat perch on today, and the meanest 4" bluegill in Roanoke Rapids Lake ate it

kbkindle reply :

kb here man that some outstanding paint jobs like the way you have used different color combs you sure are a artist kb

Gatorbassman reply :

Those jigs look great. Just a word of advise though. Be very careful with those stand-up jig heads. They look too much like the Spot Remover Pro Model and I believe that is a patented design.
