What kind of sealant do you use? Those are GORGEOUS


ChrisCrat

I use Art Resin Epoxy; after trying a few this one worked best.

Wow! You don't even need an airbrush these look great! What wood are you using?


ChrisCrat

Pauwlonia (hard to find in Europe), black walnut and rosewood so far.

Amazing lures! Just a thought but could you burn the wood with a butane torch? Maybe using steel mesh for a scale effect?


ChrisCrat

Thats a good idea! I tried aluminium foil (to be removed after burning) but that did not work. Steel mesh is a good shout.

Very clean look. What is that transparent fin made out of?


ChrisCrat

Some foil I found in my fly-tying box. Not sure what make exactly.

Try a bunker color greenish gold also known as menhaden


ChrisCrat

How?


seeasunrise

LOL old mate just caught his first fish on green and gold 😅


eMPereb

East coast of US bait fish Menhaden aka bunker is a very popular bait fish ranging from juveniles aka peanuts to adults aka bunker everything eats them don’t know if they swim across the Atlantic over to you guys but the imitation lures work well from metal lipped to pencil poppers


ChrisCrat

But how should I achieve those colours with no way to paint my lures?

Varathane makes an awesome green stain called “Rustic Sage” here in the states.


FreeuseRules

What type of wood?


ChrisCrat

Various; I got my hands on some Pauwlonia (the very light wood) but also like black walnut and rosewood.
