    Default Fine tuned the eyes on these, still had to free hand


    tried a template but just didnt work for me.Scott, I painted the black and the dried it and then went back and shot white on the eyes and dried and painted the eyes the color of the tail and dried and then turned my air brush way dont on pressure and worked around the eyes with the black covering any over spray created by the white. Time consuming, so I wont be doing many of these here are the results :

    Those look great Larry. They look better than the Rebel ones. That does look like a lot of work.

    somewhat time consuming but I like the look of the eyes being same color as the tail, dont know what the fish think and that is really what matters I hadnt painted any cranks in 2 tone using the Createx Flo Red until these 2. I think I like the color, gonna do me a few with the Flo Orange next. After seeing you wear the crappie out with your 2 tone combos, I just thought I might wanna try a few up here at Pickwick and see what happens

    They seem to like the black combos best early in the morning before there's a lot of light in the water. After the sun gets up good the orange/chartreuse, pink/chartreuse and fl. red/chartreuse do good. Chrome was good last summer but I haven't had much luck on it so far this year.

    You need to, it's lots of fun and you wind up with lots of good ammo.
