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.

So if there was ever any doubt about these Lures being the Top Dog out of any other stick bait being used on Taneycomo I think that was laid to rest this weekend!  Duane's patterns are remarkable and with the windy weather this past weekend I know they were thrown by just about everyone that came down to Jigfest. We also just hammered the fish on a few of the evenings and during the day with them. 

My favorite is the 606 blank I believe variety in Doty Sculpin.  A true masterpiece that caught almost every single fish I landed this weekend. 

Proofs in the pics, and there were plenty more caught...

Duane provided me a nice box to keep my now retired Doty Sculpin special in until I get my mount done too.  Thanks Buddy.
