Feeling confident about bait building/painting after taking in all this info from you today. I’m sure I’ll be humbled when I get back to the shop tonight and realize you’re a master due to years of experience. Hopefully these videos can help speed up my learning curve. I have an airbrush arriving this week so I’ll finally be able to try these tactics out. Thanks for sharing all the info with us .
*Fun little bait great for ponds. This thing casts really well for its size, I was surprised. Good for when you need to downsize and gets smaller fish to commit*
Absolutely beautiful work Mikko! I really like the idea of making the stencils for each step. A little more work but the end results are amazing! Thanks for sharing your work brother!
@@SolarfallBaits the effort and the knowledge to proceed with confidence that the results will indeed be a work of art. Beautiful work again my friend. Keep them coming!
I started carving lures but mostly paint the bulk mail order blanks for everyday use (& hurts less to lose). Main reason I have gotten away from carving wood is the issue with proper wood and weight to get action I want. I’m always falling short of action I want and even if I get it correct, I end up with a 5 inch (12.7 cm😉) bass lure that weights a pound and a half (.680 kg). Then I need a shark rod & reel combo to cast it. Im exaggerating but you get the idea. Just curious what you’ve had success with on smaller lures pertaining to type wood, weight placement and things like that in general. Love the videos. I’ve tried to NOT watch them this summer so I can look up all your stuff & binge watch them and get me through winter 😁👍
Well it really depends on what your making some woods are not suitable for certain lure types. Like you would not want to make a glide bait from balsa.
thank you very much, the stuff i do is a result of years of practicing and being a little obsessed with details hehe, you can do it too if you put the time and effort in your craft.
Glad to see your videos start popping up in my YT feed again. Have you ever done a video where you paint without airbrush? I don´t have an airbrush and would love to get some ideas and inspiration from someone with your talent.
Man the construction and paint jobs on your lures is incredible if you could make me a lure I would pay you for it. I do a lot of striper fishing where I’m from and a realistic blue back herring or river herring pencil popper would be fire.
@@SolarfallBaits ok sweet I’ll definitely be hitting you up because they are awesome and it’s something I would love to fish with. I don’t have Instagram or Facebook or any of that so the only real way I would be able to contact you is through email .
Ive been having issues some days when airbrushing contrasting colours close to each other, especially white and black, the paint would come out grainy, without the smooth blend and random bigger specs of paint would end up where its not wanted. Ive tried reducing the paint more and also dropped my psi, to some extent it helped but i still have a grainy look. I tend to spray the belly of the lure last, but then some of the white would end up high on the flanks, but it can only be seen when you tilt the lure at an angle. If i spray the belly first at times i would get some specs of the usually darker colour from the back on some part of the belly. I've tried reducing the paint more as mentioned above, ive tried reducer and retarder/flow enhancer and dropping psi. I can use stencils to avoid this but i prefer the blended look for some lures as opposed to the hard line from a stencil. Anything else I could try to avoid these problems?
@@SolarfallBaits I do a full clean after every spray session, but it makes sense in some way that most of my problems come at the end of a session when there has been a fair amount of paint and colour that has gone through the same airbrush. I do clean quite well between colour changes to avoid random bits of different colours getting where they shouldn't. Thank you for taking the time to reply 🤘😎
Beautiful painting, you make it look effortless. I've tied flies for 40 years and recently started airbrushing lures, you taught me a couple nice tricks on this video. I love your epoxy finish, what brand is it? We're fishing walleyes so tough is essential. Please share some more I just subscribed to your page
Thats great to hear, I bet you could teach me a thing or 2 about fly tying. The epoxy i use is true coat epoxy, made by a fellow lure maker of true glide lures.
I’ve been watching your channel for a long time and I know you have a lot of experience with making masters for molds. I’m getting ready to build my first mold master and I intend on making the tail section slotted and pinning a flexible tail. My question is, will I run into problems if I make the slot on the master and incorporate it into the mold, or is the slot something that should be cut in after each bait is molded?
@@SolarfallBaits Awesome, Thank You very much. I'm looking at getting the HP-CP for my first Airbrush and was worried the 0.3mm needle may have been to small.
@@SolarfallBaits to expensive for me but i know how much work it is, i know people who collect lures, i'm fish with it, not more, but they are awesome!
Lets paint boys and girls!
MASTERWORK......
I prefer painting baits if it's all the same
Amazing Brush work !!!!
Really enjoyed the insight into the stencil process !!
Amazing you’re a master!
Fantastic work as always...I love how meticulous you are with the entire process of making your lures🤘

Loved it thanks for the tips.
I’ve never been to Canada but I know there’s monster pike good luck
Очень крутая работа 👍

I mostly sell my lures on ebay but i do make commision work too. You can find My contact info in my channel profile.

Awsome as usual
Wow, these look great.. I am in Australia, send some too me and I will use them in our next tournament... maybe open a whole new market...
Sure if you pay for them.
@@SolarfallBaits ok, send me a price list...
👍👍 beutiful bait.

Its most likely your airbrush so what i would do is clean it thoroughly and see if the problem persists.

@@SolarfallBaits Thank you so much I was just watching another of your videos. Makes me wanna A, build more lures and B go fishing!😃
I had no idea you could tape over fresh airbrush paint? I was always worried it would pull the paint off? I'll try this next time!
It might not work with all paints but fingers crossed it works for you.
The paints your using...they have many candy colors and compared to createx how much thinner are they
No clue, last time i used createx was probably 15 years ago.

you should be okey if you cut the slot before molding.
Amazing! Thanks for the tip about the needle cap. May I ask what kind of pen or ink you use to sign your lures that does not smear? Thanks
Its just a normal sharpie i cover the signature in 5 minute epoxy before i put on the top coats so that the writing does not get smeared later on.
@@SolarfallBaits Thanks
The plastic from a cola bottle make gerat stensl
Absolutely amazing.
What top clear epoxy do u use, if u dont mind me to ask you?
True coat
Profiii
Thankyou for such great Videos. I am looking at making my own lures and would like to know what airbrushes you use and what size needles. TIA. Michael
I use iwata highline with a 0.18mm needle pretty much exclusively
@@SolarfallBaits Thank You. Just one more question. Do you have any issues using pearls and metallic with this airbrush?
@@Mickey_Z nothing i cant get around with by using a different air pressure on my compressor.
@@SolarfallBaits Awesome, Thank You very much. I'm looking at getting the HP-CP for my first Airbrush and was worried the 0.3mm needle may have been to small.
Beautiful. What airbrushpistool do u use?
Here iwata highline
@@SolarfallBaits wow Tnx. I'm going to order it too
These lures you make are amazing! Do you sell them too?👍👍👍
This one was a custom order so yeah i do sell my lures too.
@@SolarfallBaits and what is the average price for a lure ? In the future i am gonna buy some special as the average stuff there is.
It really depends on the size of the lure.the lure in the video was 80usd
@@SolarfallBaits to expensive for me but i know how much work it is, i know people who collect lures, i'm fish with it, not more, but they are awesome!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That is gorgeous. How long of process like this?
For something like this
It takes me a few hours to paint something like this.
Solar - how are making those rubber tails for your hard swimbaits .Thanks in Advance
I showed how to do that in my last build video
Thank You just watched it
Great job ! What kind of mesh you used for the scales ?
I mention it in the video
Third Hahahaha :D
What is the netting held on with?
Curtain snips, like i mention in the video
SolarBaits thanks. Couldn’t understand what you said in the video so I asked.
what is the colorshift brand you are using? ive had a difficult time finding a decent shift paint for airbrushing. would appreciate the advice.
Vallejo like the bottle i show in the video says.
SolarBaits thank you. i overlooked the obvious there.
What kind of clear coat do you use? I used KBS and it sucks!!!
i use various epoxies, recently i have been really liking true coat epoxy
thank you
What kind of epoxy do you use to the final coat ?
True coat epoxy
