SPRAY SESSION!! "Repainting A Bagley Flat Balsa B2" (Most Requested Pattern Ask)

[@badfishrising]

when you had the violet n pineapple on the bait I said fish it. when you added the black magenta I said fish it. maybe I'm simple but this bait took right off from the beginning. I would use it in all of its stages if you just added eyes.

[@rogercastle2434]

Wow, you are so talented! I love that bait, and your paint jobs are incredible

[@justinbuilders667]

Great work. I catch tons of little different colored sunfish and pumpkin seeds, blue gills all the time. One of my favorite types of fishing is walking the little creek's here in Cecil county Md. I paint them all the time

[@Jekyll424]

Very cool. I used to live in Chesapeake City and also near Port Deposit 🙂

[@freewind5294]

That is amazing! Your videos are so fun and relaxing to watch and definitely inspiring. I love the way you talk through your processes. Its informative but not overly technical so that anyone can understand. Thank you for sharing Jen. I'm so glad I get to see the process that I've heard so much about from Kelly 😁

[@stanceheros3150]

Mam, mam, huh not sure if you seen me sitting here with my hand up with my question and an 🍎 for the teacher. I ate the 🍎 waiting for you to pick me but have I missed the video where you were gonna show the musky bait you did for the lure contest. I try not to miss a vid by my favorite teacher. I have got to try this blue gill. Awesome gill Jen. You are really pushing me to join FB I am feeling I miss so much. Thanks for the time you share teaching us Jen, I sure leave with more knowledge then I brought. You Rock!

[@Jekyll424]

Shep I apologize. Next shop update I promise to post it for y’all 😉

[@bigged7675]

Awesome work!! Blessings too you and the family

[@Jekyll424]

Thanks!!

[@lucid_vax]

Sweet video! It would be cool to see you make a pattern with only basic opaque paints (green, red, light blue, darker blue, yellow, purple, etc.) as like a challenge.

[@Jekyll424]

I’m game

[@bruceburr3656]

I see you got a California Air Compressor now. I got mine about a year ago and just love it. I've got some of the pictures of my baits on my Facebook page Bgb lures. I enjoy your tutorials very much. Thx

[@Jekyll424]

Thanks for watching. Yea I really like the new compressor

[@kellygipson8354]

We call those sunfish "pumpkin seeds". I have no idea why, but that's what I've heard them called all my life.

[@Jekyll424]

There are about two dozen different kinds of sunfish in North America. Pumpkinseed is one of them, a common name, but there are also all these: Redear Sunfish (Lepomis microlophus) Average size: 8.5 inches Redears are native to the Gulf Coast and southeastern US up to North Carolina. These days, you can also find them in the Great Lakes, as well as a few western fisheries. a redear sunfish Redears boast small mouths relative to the size of their bodies. They have dark spots, often in a checkered pattern. Their pectoral fins are elongated, reaching past the eyes when folded forward. Distinctive feature: A dark inflexible opercular flap, with a red or orange border. This is how Redears got their name. Green Sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) Average size: 5 inches Green Sunfish are native to central and eastern USA, as well as Ontario in Canada. You can also find them throughout the US. a green sunfish These guys have relatively large mouths, with lower jaws extending to the middle of the eye line. The opercular flap is black with a white border, and the pectoral fin is short and rounded. Distinctive feature: You guessed it, they’re green, although not across the entire body. Their belly side is often bright yellow. Redbreast Sunfish (Lepomis auritus) Average size: 10 inches Redbreasts are native to the east coast of North America from New Brunswick to central Florida. They’ve also been introduced to a number of states and provinces in the US and Canada. a redbreast sunfish They have wider anal fins than most other Sunfish, with darker roots that turn paler towards the edges. Their pelvic fins are elongated with sharp, scythe-like tips. Distinctive feature: These guys have two! For one, Redbreasts have dark opercular flaps which are unusually long. Their belly side is also reddish or orange in color. Bluegill Sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) Average size: 8 inches Bluegills are probably the most popular out of all the Sunfish species in US. Although native to central and eastern US, you can find them throughout the States. a bluegill sunfish (Source: Wikipedia, CC 4.0) Bluegills have small mouths, with upper jaws reaching to the lower line of the pupil. Their opercular flap is dark and flexible. Bluegills’ pectoral fins are elongated, reaching past the eye when folded forward. Distinctive feature: Bluegills’ soft dorsal fin has a single black spot. Warmouth Sunfish (Lepomis gulosus) Average size: 7 inches Warmouth Sunfish are native to the Great Lakes and the entire Mississippi River and its tributaries. They’re not widely present outside of these places. a warmouth sunfish If Warmouths didn’t have such big mouths, you could easily confuse them with Smallmouth Bass. These guys have red eyes, with stripes stretching from the eyes to the opercular flap. The flap is small and dark, with a red border. Warmouths boast a short, rounded pectoral fin that does not extend beyond the eye. Distinctive feature: Apart from the red eye, male Warmouths can have a single, red to orange spot on their rear dorsal fin. Pumpkinseed Sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus) Average size: 8 inches Pumpkinseeds are native to the Atlantic coast of North America from New Brunswick to South Carolina. You can also find them in central and northwestern USA. a pumpkinseed sunfish Pumpkinseed Sunfish have very small mouths relative their body size. The opercular flap is flexible, with a white border that has a red spot on the edge. Their pectoral fins are light-colored, ranging from bright yellow to white. Distinctive feature: Pumpkinseeds have blue lines throughout their gill plates. Longear Sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) Average size: 9 inches Longear Sunfish are native to eastern North America, stretching from the Great Lakes all the way to Florida and Louisiana. a longear, one of the many types of sunfish Longears have noticeably longer pelvic fins than most other types of Sunfish. They point almost vertically downward. Distinctive feature: An elongated dark opercular flap with a dark border, as well as bright blue spots across the body. And Many, Many More This has been a rundown of some of the most common types of Sunfish. There are a number of other Sunfish species, and countless hybrid combinations across North America.

Nice!

[@Fishing-gs9ku]

Have you ever tried a coat of black (covers over Shad dot and all) then white?

[@Jekyll424]

Yes 🙂

[@mglennon5535]

Wow

[@andrewezinga6063]

Great video! Stinks I don’t have almost any of those colors.

[@Jekyll424]

You can substitute a basic yellow on the belly, a basic purple on top and lightly spray transparent black or sepia on the spine of the lure while the purple is still wet to darken it up a little. Any light blue can work on top, and you can mix a pearl white to make the blue stand out 🙂

[@andrewezinga6063]

Jekyll424👍 my wife is going to try this pattern. I’ve been teaching her how to airbrush, but she’s better at using a paint brush.

[@Amberligma7296]

Do you use a primer for base or just the opaque paint as a base? Thanks

[@Jekyll424]

On most repaints I use the opaque white paint.

[@Amberligma7296]

@@Jekyll424 so even on a plain one you use just paint not primer?not saying on a repaint just a fresh blank. and can you do a video showing how to do like a strike king pro blue, that would be so cool. thanks for the help and response

[@mikehart7390]

How would you go about fixing that blemish on the top without spraying over the rest that is one of the things that I always have an issue with if I nicked the bait before I clearcoat it or something sticky on my gloves?

[@Jekyll424]

I just grab a thin detail artist brush, and dab a bit of paint that matched or was close on the blemish directly. Once the paint heatsets and is clearcoated, it’s near impossible to see. Sharpies are adequate, but be careful of them running and bleeding, especially if you’re correcting a mistake near a different color on your Lure

[@anthonywiley198]

Would there be anyway to add a scale pattern to it

[@magcolor]

👍👍👍👍👍
