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.

May have to push my better half and daughter (yes they are OAF members) to put their names in the hat :D! That would give three chances for a Doty special sculpin to head east.

The sculpin is rocking it this weekend.  Still holding out for a big one, but the rainbows are just flat out hammering it. 

Duane for when the water is off the first rainbow bait size you gave me needs the sculpin treatment me thinks for whatever that's worth ( maybe not much lol). The one with the hump back. It runs allot shallower than the sculpin which I think was the 630 model. 

I will say after using these lures it's gonna be a while before I go back to rappalas.  These lures are made well and the bills are just flat out tough.  I bounced the sculpin one all day today off the bottom and lots of rocks and it just keeps going.

Oh and you better scratch my name of that list lol.  If I win in just gonna draw sometimes name to share the love.  :)

My catch ratio for certain has gone up since you got me setup.  I dare say they are surpassing my old faithful white husky jerk.

Just one more of your mad skills that I am envious of buddy!
