Smokey Joe version 1

Had a customer asking for this pattern it's not exactly where I want it to be yet, but it's a cool looking bait anyway. I like my colors just need to add more glitter. It's white base, pearl platinum over whole body, iridescent blue back, shaded with pearl black, iridescent neon green glitter on back and hologram glitter on sides and belly.

Version 1.1

Eh throw them away and let me know when you do so i can dumpster dive

Nice work....looks awesome on that blank.

I like version 1.1 what would you take for it?

hey Brad can you post a pic of the glitter or the brand and size you used on this bait?
and also where did you get it at? did you spray it or apply it in a epoxy clear coat?
some of the glitter I have used in my clear coat leave small bumps on the bait.
I am a new to painting baits and just getting started.
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

I like Version 1 - Less Is Good.

The glitter on this bait is in the epoxy top coat it's the easiest way to do glitter, the glitter is just ultra fine glitter from hobby lobby other sure of the brand.

Thanks Brad for the info I bought the extra fine so I need to go back
And try and find the ultra fine
Thanks again Brad will try and post some pics of my baits soon

Extra fine should be good bud were you using epoxy? Post pics of the bait your talking about having issues with please.

Yes the Devon 30 min epoxy
The glitter I bought from
Hobby lobby was extra fine
Not ultra fine
Just got back from there
And found the ultra fine
And clear coated one of my top
Water baits and looks good so far
Will post pics soon as I figure out
How too
Thanks again

Good to go now
Thanks again

Oops my bad did not see the second page of this thread
Sorry

My version of a bagley chartreuse
Belly baby bass

Nothing wrong with those I like using an artist sponge for the bass pattern there are some videos online doing it this way. Lure me in has a real good baby bass video. The baits look good though man, I really like the chartreuse with blue back and splatter effect you posted really interesting bait.

Thanks brother just getting
Into it for now

Another pic

That's a great looking bait!

Thanks

It's a lot harder to do than
It looks..... there are 7 colors on
That bait and clear coat
But it's kind of a cool deal when you can paint something that you want that you can't buy in a store

finally got an hour to paint some baits, between kids in football and all the headaches getting my shop going havent had much free time lately.

Never seen that color combination called Smokey Joe - to me Smokey Joe is more grey on off white. Amazing work regardless of what you call it.
