Next step. Painting.

Please don't laugh. I have never described my profession as "lure painter", but our close by lakes only had one crappie in it that was super critical of my paint jobs... and we dynamited him out.

All latex paint, sprayed through a cheap Harbor Freight external mix airbrush. You don't need expensive equipment to do this.

After this point, the screw eyes are added and the lures are given a very heavy coat of epoxy, thereby making them about bullet proof against wear and abrasion.

I will show my epoxy spinner setup next. It rotates the lures to keep the heavy coating from running.
