guys think of this one, I took a Strike King Crankbait I had bought last year that I never used and experimented on making a copy of one of Bandits baits that did pretty good for me last summer. anybody know what it is a attempted copy of ??

ummmmm, can I decline or defer

[DonDon]

Boy, he'll cherrish that prize the rest of his life. LOL man, that looks good

[majflyboy]

That mad cow is better that store-bought.

Man that looks awsome. How long does it take start to finish. Do you have to clean the gun for every color or you have one for each. That sure takes some patience.

[Fisherman_Wantabe]

Thanks, I was about to ask for more pics of the cranks. Ya'll been painting some nice ones. I like em!

thanks maj, dont know if I would go that far this bait is considerably bigger than a bandit 300 and I am hoping it will attract bigger crappie, if it does I a have a few more I will have to convert

wilbur, first you put a 2 coats of white, dryin after each coat, and then you change your colors, and yes I spray some cleaner thru each time I change and spray the gun to make sure that the right color comes out only have trouble with black comin out after you change colors so have to clean real good when changin from black. if you count from the very first coat to the last coat of paint finish it up, maybe 10 to 15 minutes, I have a heat gun that I use to dry between coats, now if you want the time till the bait is ready to hang hooks on, it can from start to finish as much as 8-9 hours, it depends on what type of clearcoat you put on it, I use envirotex and devcon 2 ton epoxy, enviro takes over night at least, the devcon you can hang the hooks in a couple of hours if you have your mix right
