JBCo Spray Session: Painting and Clearing a Whopper Plopper

[@Arfabiscuit]

Your very good . I normally watch Nate Marling and Mikko from Solarbaits who are insanely gifted lure makers . All the best from France .

[@Jekyll424]

Mercí!

[@djradrs199]

I know this is 5 yrs Later ... as I'm just starting out a week ago but the ARE SWEET LOOKING I'd luv to be able to spend a in person day with you just a like a child in school learning from his favorite teacher ... only my 2nd video of yours I've seen ...and I'm lov'n how you share your juice box of talents

[@leongossett4060]

What a fantastic job you have done on that Whopper Plopper,it really looks great. Hopefully some day I can afford to buy one you painted just for me.

[@Jekyll424]

Thanks Leon.

[@robertwoody9573]

I'm just starting painting crankbaits for myself and your a big help. Thank you

[@Jekyll424]

Anytime

[@bruceburr3656]

I use the flat sides of milk jugs to cut my stencils from. There easy to work with and you can see the lure blank through it.

[@phillipiacobacci1369]

Great color pattern, well done as always, thank you for sharing with us.

[@albo_gator5265]

I thoroughly enjoy all your spray session videos. But this by far has been your most informative for me. Thanks so much. Have a happy and healthy 2018.

[@Jekyll424]

Glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year 🎊

[@carltenner4484]

Excellent lesson. Learned numerous tips. Thanks. See your posts on Brotherhood of Custom Crankbait Painters frequently.

[@Jekyll424]

Thanks!

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

im old school i just use leather whole cutters an any style tape they make an nails on board i could take a pen painter an right my logo an put clear coat there it is..but i never seen a crawfish on top of the water lmao but i do see rats around the bank at the lake were they make videos of the bass hitting rats that lake full of rats around the bank

[@malcolmporter4771]

Girl, you have some mad skills! I love fishing WP and that's an awesome looking crawfish colored one.

[@Jekyll424]

Thank you🙂

[@mojondro]

You can put a piece of cardboard in between the two parts and stop the rotation tingie and separate from the rest of the body at the same time

[@leongossett4060]

Damned I love they way you finished the job with that nice clear coat.

[@harlanmarcos2735]

Dunno if anyone cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of days xD

[@foxharold1053]

@Harlan Marcos Yea, been using instaflixxer for months myself :)

[@KarvonensProClean]

How is your channel not monetized? Your tutorials are awesome.

[@Jekyll424]

It is monetized 🙂 gotta pay my bills. Thanks for the kind words. Happy New Year

[@infiniti2003]

Great job looks awesome.my question what kind a clear coat are using?thank you.

[@Jekyll424]

It's KBS Diamond Strength Clearcoat. Thanks for watching!

[@ScottyhillakaFishn4Him]

Wow! Those are amazing!

[@Jekyll424]

Thanks so much. A very Happy New Year to you!

[@billygreen1557]

Another fantastic video! Thank you.

[@darrellbowen1582]

Very impressive paint job ! What is in the jar that your using as a clear coat ? Thanks

[@Jekyll424]

It’s KBS

[@ronaldmitchell2565]

HOW DO I BECOME A CUSTOMER...YOU DO EXCELLENT WORK

[@ZZ430T56]

Not sure I would throw a craw for topwater...but thanks for this and other helpful videos.

[@Jekyll424]

Completely agree, but my client requested the pattern. Good thing it’s a reaction bite. I think my favorite pattern is a juvenile duckling, and the yellow one that Chris Lane was crushing them with on Major League Fishing this past season (Lake O The Ozarks)

[@mojondro]

Jekyll424 what about a rat pattern, that and frog one on top water would be killer

[@edmelungeon2239]

Victor Franqui Try the black one [ loon ]. It out produces the other colors by alot in the clear water lakes of east Tn.

[@jigflipper]

Great job as always!

[@josebarajas747]

Can you make a video on clear coating a jointed glide bait?

[@Jekyll424]

I’d be happy to. It’s essentially the same process as a Whopper Plopper. Dip one side, brush the other, but I’m happy to do a step by step 🙂

[@Galvoflysoz]

Hi there loving your videos but I may have an idea to speed your taping process up. do away with the tape and brush on plasti dip paint which is a rubberized paint that is easy to peel off when dry. could use it on the eyes as well . Hope it helps and was just an idea.

[@Jekyll424]

Thanks

[@michaelross5674]

Your compressor setup do you have an air tank on compressor??? I heard that's a better way to go?

[@Jekyll424]

I do now, I run a california air tools 8 gallon tank oilless compressor. Started out with a table top

[@fishingwithhoffman7365]

Do you dip that clear to the wire? Like if the nose is down. Do you dip it clear up to the inside of the joint? Like clear to the top bellow the spinning part?

[@Jekyll424]

No. I usually brush it on. I don’t want to get clearcoat on the joints and moving parts

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

Awesome paint job. Happy New Year's

[@tommypeckinpaugh1399]

Awesome work recommendation for the group. I've found a leather punch the size of the eye works great to pree punch the painters tape then place over the eye, cleaner lines. This may help your production process a bit faster. OMG your talented!

[@Jekyll424]

Awesome recommendation!!

Tip Top Video 👍

[@jj61051]

A true artesian

[@edwardtwohig7630]

I really enjoyed watching your video, thank you. That lure looks unbelievably good. What kind model of airbrush are you using? Also, the drip wire - is that to keep it lead it away from the bottom of the lure and keep it from collecting there?

[@Jekyll424]

I use an Iwata Eclipse HPCS. And yes. You’re 💯 % correct on the drip wire 🙂

[@jandlsapp]

What brand split ring pliers did you use ? Very nice job !! I envy your patience :-)

[@Jekyll424]

It is a Bass Pro Shop brand, basic set, and I don’t believe I paid over $14 for it. I purchased it at the Pyramid in Memphis.

[@jandlsapp]

Thank you ..

[@afsgary]

We have a paint shop where I work and I want you to know somebody out there sells stickers the right size to cover the eyes. Would save you alot of time.

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

get the leather whole cutters an you make that very easy

[@gunnaratwell7844]

I know this is a late comment. But i noticed something that wasn't mentioned in the video or brought up in the comments. What do you use to separate the tail from the main portion of the lure. It looks like styrofoam or something. Im curious how you have gone about it, thank you for your willingness to teach others about custom painting lures, it's inspiring and jaw dropping.

[@Jekyll424]

No styrofoam. Nothing except a bit of tape. And then brush the clear on being careful to keep it away from the moving parts 😉

[@mathildasfiske1704]

Great Movie 👍 i’m a beginner on fishing tackel . I am from sweden and i very happy to se a Woman WHO makes fishing tackel 😁

[@Jekyll424]

Thanks!

[@mathildasfiske1704]

Just now i builds a workshop tackel in my youtube Chanel 👍 and i have never use a airbruch 😁 so do you have tips for me i gladly be happy for it 👍👍

[@Jekyll424]

The first tip is to purchase a good airbrush whether you decide to paint the rest of your life or just try it for a little while. The biggest complaint I hear is that people wish they bought a better airbrush. A cheaper one won’t work as well, and it will frustrate you

[@mathildasfiske1704]

I have a cheap syringe :( what do you use👍

[@Jekyll424]

If you can get an Iwata Neo, or preferably an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS, get that

[@Siouxpreme1979]

Do you do the Whopper Plopper Blanks as well or just the prefer to do the River to Sea ploppers?

[@Jekyll424]

I won’t paint the blanks. They don’t swim the same. If the lure or blank can’t be well proven in the water, my airbrush doesn’t hit it 😉

[@NotAYoutubeChannel99]

Jekyll424 , have you seen or tried the plopper blank from predator bass baits yet? Am hoping it is a decent one as ploppers cost an arm and a leg north of the border...

[@NotAYoutubeChannel99]

And thank you for the awesome work and vids, as always :)

[@Jekyll424]

Nope. I only paint the River2Sea original ones 🙂

[@JamieMcClanahan]

I think they print the logo on the backing of the 3d eyes. Or the tiny people did it ^^^

[@Jekyll424]

Always fun to hear theories... yes, it’s a logo that they pour the resin onto 😉

[@infiniti2003]

Thankyou for answer

[@fpsgamingpcs6921]

Do you know what size eyes the ploppers take??

[@Jekyll424]

Not sure here. I always leave the original River2Sea ones in, tape over them and spray

[@neilharp5496]

Where you get your holders at or they home made?

[@Jekyll424]

The link for helping hands is in the description section of this video 🙂

[@crab2323]

Nice paint

[@Jekyll424]

Thank you Scott. Happy New Year

[@crab2323]

Jekyll424 happy New Year to you as well

[@matthewlucas7796]

What are the stands you use to hold the baits?

[@Jekyll424]

Helping Hands. Order through Amazon

[@mattress2331]

Those look tricky as far as Clear coating Still I aspire to paint like you some day

[@chrisperry9842]

Where do you get your whopper popper blanks from? I have scoured eBay and Amazon with no luck. So I've overlooked them or I can't find them. Can you help me please?

[@Jekyll424]

They aren’t blanks. They are River2Sea. 60-70% of the work I do for clients consists of custom repainting brand name lures for tournament use. 😉

[@chrisperry9842]

I had already checked river2sea's website to see if they might sell blanks, but s.o.l. the whopper plopper became my absolute favorite topwater lure summer before last. I had painted one of mine and that got me to wondering about blanks, that's all. I do enjoy your videos though, it's easy to learn from someone as good as yourself. Hope you keep the videos coming. Have good day!!

[@Jekyll424]

You too Chris. I really appreciate your watching! Happy painting 😎

[@jtcasting9552]

Chris Perry This is a late reply? But if you need blank whopper-plopper style baits, there’s some in dingerbaits.com. They aren’t river2sea brand though

[@danielnies932]

love it love it

[@zzz7zzz9]

maybe I missed it, but what type of clearcoat are you using?

[@Jekyll424]

KBS Diamond Strength.

[@legavrechristophe1504]

super bravo ou vous trouvée vaux whopper popper et vaux cran bais merci bravooooooooooooooooo

[@squarely007]

What is it you use to clear coat it?

[@Jekyll424]

KBS Diamond Clearcoat there's a coupon in the description here

[@charliecowan6277]

When u paint clear on the tail do u let dry before u dip it

[@Jekyll424]

I only dip the nose half, and I do them at the same time.

[@charliecowan6277]

Okay so you paint on the end with a paintbrush I seen that but you dip it directly after

[@Jekyll424]

I only dip the front half because of the independent moving halves. I don’t dunk it completely under

[@charliecowan6277]

@@Jekyll424 right that's what I thought I just didn't know when you painted the back half if you let it dry first so it wouldn't drip thank you very much

[@Reeltimeoutdoors]

what kind of clear coat are you using?

[@Jekyll424]

KBS Diamond Clearcoat

[@braveswin1]

Beautiful craftsmanship. But I don't understand why one would fish a craw pattern as a topwater bait. I fish all the time and have never seen a craw on the surface of the water unless it was dead. Perhaps these are not actually being used to fish with? I admit I know nothing about this airspraying craft.

[@Jekyll424]

90% of the custom designs you see are client requested orders. If they ask for it, I paint it. I think with the Craw topwater stuff, it’s more reactive strikes than anything, although colors are key factors too

[@O___k1]

What clear coat is that

[@Jekyll424]

KBS Diamond Clear. There's a 15% coupon on the video description you can use.

[@chchecortez6604]

woooowwww ¡¡¡ exelente trabajo un saludo ¡¡

[@tomsmith7515]

What compressor do you use?

[@Jekyll424]

Master Airbrush Model TC-40T - Cool Runner Professional High Performance Single-Piston Airbrush Air Compressor with 3-Liter Air Tank, 2 Holders, Regulator, Gauge, Water Trap Filter & Air Hose www.amazon.com/dp/B00WBT7PTW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_tg3OBbP8FTRNE

[@Jekyll424]

Here is another that’s very good and quite affordable. I have this as well. amzn.to/2xDNZHi

[@One_more_cast]

This is so cool. I have started to paint lures recently myself. Do you prefer the KBS over a two part epoxy like devcon?

[@Jekyll424]

Yes. KBS is a much better product (in my opinion)

[@One_more_cast]

Even for the beginner? The concerns i have is that ive heard it can harden in the jar if not in use and exposed to air, and also ive heard it shouldnt be used indoors due to the chemicals?

[@Jekyll424]

It is a solvent, yes. A ventilation system is needed, fan or air exchange of some sort, but storing it is not that hard. Pour from the can into a sealable glass jar. Place plastic wrap between the lid and the jar. That adds an airtight seal to keep the clearcoat from hardening. I use spaghetti and olive jars. They’re taller and thinner, and multi functional for longer lures.

[@One_more_cast]

Thanks so much for the advice! I'll have to test it out against the devcon to see which i prefer best. great lures by the way, I subbed your channel!

[@pescaconchuchin4277]

wuuuaooo! look biut

[@capitolbassfishing]

fantastic...

[@mikefilicko667]

I am so confused. Everyone else says that all old baits need glass beading, sanding, etc. but you just paint over the factory clear????? I didn’t even see you rough the finish up with a green a crotch bright pad or anything!!!! How is that possible????

[@Jekyll424]

Scrubbing works for a lot of people, I've always found that unless there are noticeable oils or the lure is old and chipped then it will take paint and clear immediately. But having said that, I can only speak for what works (and has been working for 5+ years) for me. Find your comfort zone. I recommend you get advice and tips from as many sources as you can and use what works for you! Keep experimenting and keep getting better 🙂

[@bobcooper2239]

what gun do you use?

[@Jekyll424]

Sig Sauer P320 M17.... oh. You mean airbrush?? 🤣

[@Fish-RI]

awesome channel man! Sub #508 here tight lines

[@Jekyll424]

Thanks! Glad you like the content

[@cbahl1131]

print eye logo, stick to rear of blank epoxy eye.

[@Jekyll424]

I’m not sure what you’re saying, but my clients only send me River2Sea. I don’t spray knock offs of this particular lure

[@allansmith761]

Not that this doesn’t look great and I do enjoy your videos, but a crawfish pattern for top water wouldn’t be my first choice.

[@Jekyll424]

I think it's more a color flash on that and the water displacement, but when a client asks for a pattern, I make what they request 🙂🙂

[@allansmith761]

Jekyll Productions Roger that. It is a beautiful pattern.

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

computer puts the logo in them...Noway you could make money doing them buy hand when they only 3 dollars for 60 eyes

[@reileymaiers9270]

Where's Hyde Baits

[@Jekyll424]

?

[@Jekyll424]

Lol. Just got that! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ChronicTom23]

Honestly,that powder color is the best color to throw...they do not need to be painted...but nice job anyhow.

[@Jekyll424]

Thanks for watching! Powder is great here in the fall, the bone color or a bit brighter Yellow is awesome in the mornings through the summer. I have a few clients that collect these and like the custom jobs, but I cannot disagree that simple is sometimes better... happy casting.

[@leongossett4060]

Why on earth would you be wishing for snow!

[@Jekyll424]

Clear air, and fine big trout when the bass won’t come out to play 😎
