 Got my new hobby sandblaster today. Kind of took my own spin on one small jaw did earlier.

  Thanks. I've made this bait a few years now just never had a spray gun. Always just made the head in pearl white. I'm thinking this is a new direction in this bait from now on.

  Yes in the spring many of our lakes get muddy and this works well. Also that is piano wire so there is a lot of thump with that blade.

  No not on this one. I guess I could now with the gun. This is kind of opening new doors and ideas for me.

When painting do you loose much powder or is the flow from the gun very easy to control? I've never tried spraying powder paint and was always wondering how much paint you loose in the after spray? Very professional looking bait!

  I'm new at this but I didn't think it was to bad. I only did five baits and sprayed in front of a box with some paper towels in it. There was some over spray so you do waste a little. I bought the gun from TJ's and it came with five bottles. And I bought some extra tubes. I think the best way to do this is to leave that tube with that color when your done with it. That way your not cleaning the sprayer and tubes all the time. Then when you go to a different color you change the tube dry hit it in the box a couple of times to clean the nose of the sprayer and go to town again. I was surprised how easy this really was.

A friend of mine showed me the ropes on spraying powder paint on blade baits last fall. What he does is put a clean plastic bag inside a box. He lays the box on it's side with the open end facing him (obviously) and sprays his blades holding them just inside the box. Most of the over spray collects in the plastic bag which he then empties back into his paint jar once he's done spraying a certain color. Retrieving the powder paint over spray isn't as big a deal if you're painting a BUNCH of baits and are buying paint by the pound but if you're mostly painting baits for yourself and working with 2 to 4oz jars of paint then this is a good way to save yourself a little paint.

Very nice.  I like a Sparse skirt like that, not a dense 60-strand.

Why do people put so much skirt on them?
