Awesome video! I’ve had an air brush kit for about a year now and have tried it a few times on a couple of baits. Loved doing it but never really stuck with it. Glad you’re doing a series on it, so I can learn a thing or two and get back into it.

[@blixzyfn1126]

For the kill spot you should dip a q-tip and dip it in the paint it works

[@kevinbolen904]

I just started making my own crankbaits, swimbaits and jerkbaits. I've been making them out of wood. I use pine a lot for my wood its cheap and easy to cut and carve. I've practicing painting on paper and cardboard so that really helps. Thanks for the video!

[@foreveralout]

I started making wood lures a few months ago. This is by far one of the best airbrushing tutorials I've seen

[@jacobpachin9948]

I’m just now getting in two painting fishing lures I’m 13 and just got an airbrush kit for Christmas

[@mattdidit84]

MasterMind Nice! Post some vids of your work.

[@jacobpachin9948]

I’ll try soon thanks👍

[@ReaperMediaDesign]

Stick with it!

[@lojofishing]

always wanted to try this, seems a bit over my head tho...

[@rexduvall7097]

I'm saving money to get into lure making and painting.

[@Jimslimmy12]

Do it lojo

[@HookedOnFishing61]

It's easy as, even making your own blanks is simple, takes me an hour per lure and I suck at it.. Painting blanks is easy as compared to anything, if you can push the button on the airbrush and aim then you can paint, and you do not need an expensive airbrush, I use a $20 airbrush and they work fine, but iwata makes some beautiful airbrush's but always use gravity feed as suction airbrush's suck Haha.

[@One_more_cast]

Love youre stuff. I've been getting into lure making myself and going to be posting my journey getting better at making them. Thanks for the info!

[@austinmurphy5657]

Literally my favorite video ever I just bought all of the stuff to start making custom lures hopefully come spring I can catch some Kansas slaunches with them

[@nathanbarber680]

Dude your videos are dope I would love to start painting my baits but I don't have a lot of money do a budget bait painting Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@chriswelch3365]

Nathan Barber the 70$ kit off Amazon think it's called master airbrush comes with a mini compressor is not bad I have it

[@chriswelch3365]

[@chriswelch3365]

fist post was wrong it's like 50

[@nathanbarber680]

Thx

[@killianhorne2993]

Can you do the video where you compare a real cheap one to that? All money I use is mine and I’m tight on it right now. I would like to see how a cheap one works

[@MillikenFishing]

Already ordered one 👍🏻

[@jeffzabriskie9689]

did you ever do the cheaper air brush video???

[@taoutdoors8110]

@milliken fishing did you ever make the comparison video of the cheaper airbrush vs the expensive airbrush???

[@jeremystuck4416]

Why are you the man?!!? Everything I am trying to learn or research, you’re teaching! Thanks, brother!

[@garrettaustin6675]

Loved this video! It's been something I've been wanting to try! Water gets iced over but not enough to fish on so winter is sheer boredom! Appreciate all the info!

[@upnorthlivin9666]

That’s so fire 🔥 it inspired me to make my own plz pick me

[@miner-fo9be]

Also, thanks for the thing at the end.. I would have bought a whole bunch of crankbaits then painted them at the start.

[@josephfleischauer8051]

Just watched the video, awesome job. It got me started painting. One problem though, the envirotex is giving me a gummy, tacky finish. Do you know how to fix that?

[@dustinweinberg2555]

please do more of these videos! I saw the title and it automatically made me want too start painting baits! I already make soft plastic baits, but the hard bait painting seems way more cool!

[@kevinclement9147]

I bought a airbrush at Christmas and started painting lures right away. You gave good advice at the end. Anyways I’m on the right track and learned a bunch on my own and a few new things from you. Thanks

[@ivanlaz5113]

Do giveaways for stuff that u made Edit Do some Jerkbaits one of my favorite lures one company makes a clear bait with no paint at all I thinks it’s strike king maybe find it on tackles whare house

[@MillikenFishing]

I did.

[@jonathan_p0294]

Is this gonna be your new company?

[@woosa42]

lol...When you were giving us suggestions to ask for, i think i was the only one who asked for this after reading the comments on that video. Now, look at all the comments saying how cool and sweet the lure looks, and wanting more info on it. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@reelbigbassin9376]

Ever since I started watching your vids you easily became on of my favorites but this one just put you over the top. Take notes kids, this is how you do it. You’re like every KZbin fisherman wrapped up in one. Love it!!!! Sky is the limit. Wish nothing but great things for you!

[@owenrichards9190]

Can you do jerkbaits and poppers

[@1979jwm32]

This is something that I've always wanted to do. Thanks for breaking it down the way you did in this video. I look forward to creating some ultimate slaunch catching color patterns, for my arsenal.

[@LycanWolf89]

That was amazing. I love watching stuff to do with painting. I like painting my vehicles an I been looking for a good airbrush instructional video. This helps a lot. Can’t wait for it to warm up here in tx so I can paint my truck. But yeah I definitely want to see more of these type videos

[@lukasholdman4023]

Best lure customer I've ever seen that makes lures with that much detail

[@slap-a-fish9247]

Great Job! I started making own last year and I have much more to learn. Thank you for the video!

[@mikejackson9023]

Great video for someone like me who is gathering info on starting the lure painting hobby. Info was quick but very detailed. I'll be watching more from you brother. Appreciate it .

[@JBSea22]

I like this video. I have always wanted to paint my own lures. Awesome job.

[@skater4god1]

I already had a bunch of airbrush stuff never even thought to paint my own baits. Can't wait!

[@Ehh_why-not]

Would love to see you paint more it's awesome seeing them go from a basic thing to a sweet useable bait

[@JoeStorie]

Good video I just started airbrushing lures a few weeks ago I really feel in Love with it. Thanks for the videos bro

[@edwardchildec]

You are a beast bro. I've fished my entire life and your opening new doors I never even thought of. I can't wait to try this!

[@handsovereyes5631]

Thanks for a great winter hobby to try.

[@logancarter745]

I'd love to see more of these, that crank looks amazing

[@jasonbryant2246]

Hope you do more of these video I’m looking to get into it myself and your the only one I care to watch doing this

[@jkeim1185]

I would usually just skip ahead to 16:50, but I'm glad I watched the whole thing. I learned a lot.

[@sailingddcircumnavigation5931]

This is the first time I watch one of your videos. And what I was looking for most was putting on the epoxy and how to properly do it.

[@joshuamcgovern6803]

Started spraying about two months ago and I love it , this is a very good information video

[@coachalter]

Sure wish I would have watched this before I started. Excellent job explaining from A to Z. Newbies will appreciate this a lot especially if they watch this first before investing.

[@rdo6566]

A good spot to find equipment to repurpose for lure making is thrift stores and yard sales. I made my lure turner from a catering rotisserie , my jig heating over for power coating is a simple toaster over with adjustable temperature settings ( has to go to at least 350 degrees) and got a microwave for heating plastisol all for about $20. Then a week or so later got a presto pot for $5 at a yard sale to keep the plastisol at temp for dipping softbaits in clear plastisol after painting. Great hobby and Ben really covered the painting well. Nice job! Love the channel!

[@jamesteddy9819]

Heck yeah I'm stoked for this video

[@scottclark1168]

I love custom crankbaits,have painted quite a few myself,it is addictive

[@silentassassin1108]

Been wanting to do this for the past 3 winters and always talk myself out of it. Really planning to go for it this year. Thanks for the tips

[@jimmyceltic4120]

Always enjoyable to watch your channel. Came out awesome i have been waiting to see this since you mentioned it awhile back. Hopefully we can see you paint other baits came out nice .Have a good day and stay safe

[@boattothebelly]

Have never airbrushed and very interested in creating blades colors for my salmon/steelhead spinner fishing. But I had to watch just because I notice the Husker background. I am an old Husker myself in ‘94-96. Great info and a lot to comprehend. Tight lines!!

[@garybowers9605]

Love the video! This is a great hobby and it does take some time to master, but it's nice to paint baits the special colors you want.

[@mytalentedteacher1160]

Wow! Amazing video! Just made a few lures this past week and have a few more to go, can't wait to try some of your techniques!

[@jsteislures5361]

Absolutely loved this video. I was a fan of your channel before, this takes you to the next level in my eyes. I've been making and painting lures for about 4 years now. I'm so stoked to see another utuber doing baits. Keep up the good work. Now you just have to try building one of your own lures.

[@zacklee3899]

That was actually a good video. Most custom lure video are super boring with little info. Can’t wait to see you do more of these

[@stephenhopkins1068]

Excellent job. I always wanted to do this and you've taken the mystery out of the process and I'm sure you've saved me from frustration and equipment buying mistakes.which is also going to save me money. Thanks man. Good job. You moved a little too quick but after watching a couple of times it all made sense. Thanks for sharing and I'll be looking forward to more of these videos. So get with it .😁

[@richardbriley2685]

Awesome paint job on the crankbait, been thinking about getting into it for me and my kids. The ability to customize is endless!

[@grbaitstexasmade9610]

Man, nice job! You just became my favorite KZbin channel! Loved the great advice at the end, about not being an expert right off, that is so true. I've learned the hard way. But it's a really fun hobby! And a tremendous feeling of satisfaction when you catch a bass with a lure you made or painted.

[@ryanfroese7001]

Nice. Love the pattern.
