CHEAP Stencil Making for Custom Painted Crankbaits & Fishing Lures

[@bennyrepu2925]

I use a comb to get stripes. I also tape off the hanging hole off a lure box (pretty much any small item package). I cut a piece off my old loofah to get a nice scale pattern

Damn genius man, been thinking about vacuum forming some stencils but didn't want to send the $$. Thanks for the tip!

[@timothyalton3821]

the amount of lego and play doh involved in fishing lure making and painting is hilarious to me

[@Darcaster]

That is bloody flippin' brilliant!!

[@lannyseals2084]

I would of never thought of this, what a great idea! I just got into painting cranks and I could definitely use this method, thanks for sharing!

[@cjbaits402]

Thank you! It’s been super helpful since I started painting. It’s a great hobby and makes fishing that much more fun when you catch something on a bait you’ve created.

[@lannyseals2084]

@@cjbaits402 yes it is! I got a few different shad patterns down and starting on getting good at doing the gills and craws, once again the playdough thing is going to help me with that

You would not of thought of this because you are a lot smarter then I hope you are.

@@davidhefner5668 good thing we have smart people like you to point these things out for us simple folk's

i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@jfreeman1549]

Awesome idea, thanks for sharing!

[@cjbaits402]

Of course! I’m working on a new video with this technique as I type this!

[@phillipimsdahl3563]

Wow, this is MY LUCKY Day now I get to play with playdough too!

[@cjbaits402]

You bet, it’s a win-win!

[@Redneckrino]

Wow awesome thanks man subscribed

[@gtrapper3745]

Man that’s awsome !!! Thank you

[@terrijimerickson6264]

genius dude..

[@PENFOLD1962]

An excellent idea. Is it possible to cut out the Gill Plates and Fins? Or is it better to cut these out once the stencils have dried?

[@billyallmon5039]

I tried this with polymer clay,it was a pain in the ass trying to get the halves kept together but it did work

[@billywall4016]

can you use air dry clay and make a permanent stencil

[@carlimpescador1]

Como vc fez para essa massa flexível ficar rígida? I'm not speak english 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

[@cjbaits402]

I tried a translator to try to answer your question -- It dries and hardens on its own as it sits. Takes maybe 18-20 hours. Becomes brittle after it dries so be cautious. I spray it with a clear coat to add some protection. Hope that is an answer!

[@billyallmon5039]

I use play dough for mold making ,it’s way easier than polymer clay

[@billyallmon5039]

It most likely ain’t as good as the old suff

[@davidhefner5668]

Not the best way by far.

[@cjbaits402]

Never said it was. It works and it’s cheap.

Enlighten me.
