Well I got inspired by gasper Goul and Scottv and decided to break out my airbrush and paint some cranks. It's a lot of fun and a little learning curve with the different type of paint used. Only prob now is the crank bite will fall off and I will have to wait for next year to try em lol. Attachment 173719
Looks good. Good combination of colors.
Looks nice.
Last year we were hammering crappie on cranks on KY Lake into the middle of October. They were still biting well as long as the water temps stayed up about 70. I switched back over to longline gear as it cooled on down.
I agree with stormcloud, great color combination!!
If not mistaken the Crappie Masters National Championship was won on cranks about this time last year.
Looks good JW, why not paint the bill???
Never thought about painting the bill. I haven't cranked late in the yr like this. Will try them out but was thinking the bite might slow on the crank.
Some folks do paint the bill.....but it gives the bait a longer profile larger bait look to the fish......sometimes that can be good.....sometimes not.
Those look great JW.
They look great JW I am ordering a air brush gun gonna try it out myself looks like fun
I'd bite that thing! Those look awesome.
Great job JW. The crank bite is still good through October. I'm gonna be pulling cranks at Enid during fall camp.
I have a nice double action air brusht.....a Pausche. got a good air compressor and regulator. I bought some paint the other day. Will be playing with this soon.
Hey, that looks really good. It's fun to paint some and then go catch fish on them.
Good deal G. The paasche is the one I use on my taxidermy too. The paint is different than taxidermy and has a little learning curve was all. Mine is double action also. P.s lacquer thinner won't work with the acrylic paints lol. In try taxidermy I use lacquer paint and a fine tip. With acrylic a big tip is better. The paint is much thicker.
Scott i plan to try them some more. Our water temp dropped 10 degrees over the last week
Which blanks are yall using?I tried looking them up on ebay but not sure which ones they were.
If someone hasnt got it for u I will send you the link when I get home
JW I don't think that color combination will work. I'm thinking you may need to paint me up a 1/2 dozen or so and I will test them to make sure.:)Quote:
