Painted up a couple matte Rock Crawlers

[Guest]

I used Plasti Dip sprayed on with flake on the back while still wet. 

Green Pumpkin, Red stripes, orange belly with green flake

Electric Baby poop, chestnut brown back & orange belly with green flake

This was my 1st time painting in 8 months. Feels good

Those look outstanding. Bet they work great.

That is a nice craw color. How is the plasti-dip holding up? I used to paint jigs with the black dip.

Hey TFR,

Now that you've had a little time with the Crawlers in the water, how do the crawlers compare to old standyby WW's? I fish warts so seldom tthat I have restrainted myself from buying any crawlers.

[dtrs5kprs]

They remind me more of a Bomber 7A that doesn't hang as frequently due to the wider lip. 

Warts you need not. Strong in the force are you.

Dave, the PD has to be sprayed on in 2 coats. If I was dipping the baits, it's just one dip. According to Nathan at TU.  It's a really nice finish & much faster than epoxy.

Ham,

theyre much different, the RK runs deeper, weighs more & can handle 12-15lb test, plus they don't need tuning. I actually throw them on an Eakins jig special that's MH. They're just a well designed bait. Plus they don't need to be repainted. Mike did a good job with the colors. I just have my pet colors that I decided to spray on them, plus I get really bored during the holidays & will start painting all kinds of stuff.

Very nice, I'm a big fan of orange bellies (on lures).

Orange bellied lures are hugely popular on Toledo Bend. It might just be a local fishing urban legend on Toledo Bend, but it sure impacts lure sales.
