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.

Duane your doing great work and all of us except one obviously love seeing it and the success you are having with them.  I know I for one enjoy and check this thread several times a day, some of us have to live "thru" you till we can get down there a few precious trips per year.  Share away buddy, you do great work and tell a great tale!   Your also one of the happiest and friendliest faces on the lake.  I loved seeing you on the lake a couple weeks ago each day, always greeting with a smile and a wave.

as evidenced by your pictorial evidence

I think you should have figured out a way to say that without using evidence twice in the same sentence, and with only three words in between them to boot!

Other than that, your post was a pretty good combination of snarky and smarmy combined. 😄

White River AR. 12 hours apart. Off the rack lures. I know what i'm doing.

Paint on.  You win. Your anger and overwhelmingly superior angling skills, as evidenced by your pictorial evidence, obviously nullifies and makes moot, anything I can contribute. 

Great fish pix by the way. 

You look SHOCKED!  Great fish pix though.
