Painting jerkbaits for big trout

I have started to paint jerkbaits for big browns.  Now, I am completely new to this and just diving right in head first.  I purchased a fairly cheap complete airbrush kit from Hobby Lobby, water based acrylic paints, powdered mica pearl pigments, and 2 part epoxy clear coat as recommended by our very own Mr. Billethead.  Thanks Marty!  Been gathering various jerkbait blanks from different suppliers looking for ones I can get to suspend.  I’ve been trying my hand at two different color schemes and feel like I’m starting to get them dialed in.  My ultimate goal is to get a rainbow trout and brown trout pattern dial in but I’m a long ways off from that yet. It has been an enjoyable way to spend what little spare time I have this time of year sucking up some AC and staying out of the heat.

That last one judging by his mouth looks like a pretty solid fish! Looking good buddy!  9 more days... And I'll be back to chasing them LOL.  Have a full weekend this time, so gonna try to wear them out!

Seeing all the nice browns being posted on Facebook really has me itching to get down there this weekend! I've got to play guide and put some people on some rainbows so we have some fish to eat for Saturday evening, but otherwise I intend to chase browns the entire time. My 20" curse needs to end this weekend!

Duane great looking sculpin. Would still love a little blue-green on the chin. By the time I might get down to Taney (maybe mid-Oct or early Dec) those fish will have been soremouthed by your baits I may have to find a new pattern 😌.

You just can’t see it in the picture, they have a pearlescent blue hue under the chin just for you.
