Lures Progress , wood and plastic crankbaits primed and ready for painting

Finished with epoxy and hooks and split rings added.BATTLE READY!

Primed and ready for painting.  These lures are from Kyle Johnston's lure company, Johnston lures of Fort Erie, Ontario,  Canada. Enamel and acrylic paint brushed on. I created a variety of natural fish patterns. Crankbait lures on left are wood plastic hollow molded designs on right. 

AI started by painting with a small detail brush.. bright gold for the iris colour of the eyes.and black enamel paint. for the fishy patterns of large scales and spots.

Brushed on light yellow acrylic on the belly with zesty orange details.


Sprayed transparent purple on top surface of lure.

Shad coloured with light green detials.

The smaller design at the top looks like a frog . the larger bottom design has a sucker pattern with a cats eye diamond pupil..

This wood lure looks menacing  with a "evil" eve.
