Gives some awesome results
Sweet! PM how you found this idea and where I can get some. Very creative my friend. Neat way to store and use your fly tying bobbins too.
Mike I found the paint on eBay we were looking for something else and stumble across the paint. And believe it or not it is water-based but it doesn’t wash off I believe I have eight different colors.Quote:

Have fun Mike we are still working with it haven’t quite figured out how to put real fine lines on my Bait and make them look good so why might have to make a stencil of some type.Quote:

Saw a plastic bait with the Wonderbread pattern on it. They must've used this paint to do it. Seems labor intensive, but that pattern is very popular here.
A lot of guys are used in an airbrush they have quite a few different Crothers to work with though we thought about going to A airbrush but that just means more money and I would definitely get carried away.Quote:

Scroll through choices to wonderbread.
It is no problem making those They are a little bit time consuming to make.Quote:

The "Wonder Bread" lures are interesting. These can be imitated and duplicated but as Snake River said it might be time prohibitive! People do not want to pay you for the time, material, and knowledge it takes to make some simple soft plastic lures like my "Lil Perchie." Attachment 419123.
Everyone wants a "Deal." If I made them it would just be for my personal use.
That's one reason why this DIY forum is so valuable, eh?
You can make the fanciest looking baits in the world but you don’t get back out of them what you put into them .Quote:
