VLog - Acryllic painted and coated softbaits

Painting your softbaits gives the bait a fantastic finish, but paint the will hold in water is both hard to get and expensive. I this video I will show you how to paint your softbait with normal acryllic airbrush paint and then give them a coating of softplastic.

[@timb8970]

thank you for your prompt response. i'm new to painting lures. just started with buying white and clear plastics and lures and simply air brushing them. nothing fancy yet. your videos have really helped and inspired me. 🙂

[@SplishSplashFishing]

In many ways the painting is where the lure comes alive, but still you should consider making some lures from the start. Its really worth it when you catch on it

[@bigbassmann]

Great work as always. Love seeing your latest projects.

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Thanks bigbassmann - How are your own luremaking projects comming along?

[@SuperKabookie]

Very nice lures!

[@Downstar]

That clear coating makes them so beautiful! The colors come out really nice after that!

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Yes the coating really adds a lot to the lure

[@oldabudinka7706]

That coating Is the same material the bait Is made off?

[@SplishSplashFishing]

@@oldabudinka7706 I used a softer version of softplastic, but you could use the same

Great video :) Did you try to heat a painted lure with a heat gun for a while? That should melt the plastic slightly and to get the paint in. Also the top layer would stick better to the body. I have never tried that myself, it just what I thought may work. Cheers

[@SplishSplashFishing]

I think you would have to be very carefull not to burn the paint, and if the plastic starts to get runny it would be hard to handle. But with a little attention it should be possible. As I have the oven anyway its just so easy to set it to a safe temperature and but the baits in there

[@user-tv6kd6hp5m]

Thank you very much !!! And how long do you need to heat them ?

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Just 2-3 min. If you heat them too much the tail will break when you dip them

[@MrValyo94]

Which kind of softplastic is best for coating? And which for making the lures out of the molds? Until now i made only hard baits, looks very cool making softbaits too

[@SplishSplashFishing]

I use same as I use for the body, just a softer version. Seems to work fine

[@zonkerrabi]

hello good good job could you tell me what paint to use to paint the vinyl thanks. sorry my english is not very good

[@richard16372]

Where did you get the soft plastic dip from,brand name ?

[@SplishSplashFishing]

I usually buy my softplastic from this shop: www.brightbaits.com/ But I think that you would be able to get similar products from many other suppliers

[@timb8970]

try taking a large hole pepper shaker to dash on some glitter immediately after dipping into soft plastic, then cool in water and dip again.

[@SplishSplashFishing]

That could be an idea. I have considered adding som e flakes to the coating, but this could be another option

[@FishingWithHeath]

What brand soft plastic are you dipping on? Have any links?

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Heath Panganiban I shop at Bright Bait in Belgium, and just use the softest version for the dib

[@FishingWithHeath]

Splish Splash could you possibly send me a link to something online or on amazon that would fit?

[@hillbillytarzan]

I paint my big soft plastics with acrylics and then clear them with lureworks soft plastic paint (clear). I brush the clear on, not before clearing them thoroughly with an acrylic clear. If not careful, you will pull off the acrylic color with the lureworks soft plastic clear paint. Won’t peel and it’s there for the duration

[@Samuel-kz3vo]

It’s because lureworks clear isn’t a coating paint. Read the description of it. It’s just clear paint

[@goovaerg]

Cool video again. It has been a while since your last video? I have been working on my carving skills. started from your lure template of the jerk. Can I post you some pics somehow.

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Yes, you can post them on my facebook page: facebook.com/splishsplashfishing/ Love to see them - And yes it has been a while since my last video, but it won't be long now

[@gary9731]

Hi Splish Splash, can these soft baits be recycled after been painted with acrylic paint..... thanks.

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Hi. No, I don't think they will recycle well after painting with acryllics. It will leave some inpurities in the softplastic

[@Samuel-kz3vo]

Does the acrylic not crack or affect the plastic in any way?

[@SplishSplashFishing]

I does not affect the soft plastic, but if you make more than just a few baits, you should consider buying real softbait paint. It sticks much better to the bait

[@user-no1oc8bf6k]

Hi! I am also engaged in soft baits for personal use and have long thought to paint them with an airbrush. I don’t know what kind of paint should be used for silicone, so that it does not wear out quickly. Tell me what paint you use or similar in composition. mistakes.

[@SplishSplashFishing]

In this video I use normal airbrush paint, but it will only work well if you coat afterwards. For lasting paint without coating, you should look for CAB coatings or Bright Bait in Belgium. But it requires a ventilated paintboot I would say

[@DillySilly3256]

Try doing perch jigs and your videos are awesome!!!!!! ps I'm Danish

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Have planned to make a perch-size shad later this year, så just keep following the channel

[@DillySilly3256]

Splish Splash I will!!!!

[@playfulcarp7165]

Great video! Friend, tell me what kind of dye you use for soft fishing lures? Thank!

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Hi. The outside colors for this bait is normal airbrush paint, but that will only work if you coat it afterwards. There are other paints that will work without coating

[@playfulcarp7165]

@@SplishSplashFishing It is clear that for the airbrush! But the paints are water-based acrylic, on the solvent, two component polyurethane ... Which ones? Thank!

[@playfulcarp7165]

@@SplishSplashFishing I tried it on a water basis, but the film from the bait slips for some reason ...

[@SplishSplashFishing]

@@playfulcarp7165 Its water based, and you should make sure to clean up the bait thoroughly before painting. Also make sure that the paint pattern leaves uncovered areas, where the soft plastic coat cann attach to the body

Hello, what paint do you use for soft lures? thank you

[@SplishSplashFishing]

I this movie its normal airbrush paint, but that will only work if coated in plastisol afterwards

[@ericrichard2047]

I can use the createx to paint my soft lures or do I need a special paint lures? thank you ;)

[@SplishSplashFishing]

I used createx in this movie

Do you make jerkbaits or lures which has 3 pieces?

[@agentp5393]

He has a video i believe

[@Mister1658]

+Daniel Kontor Yes, normal jerkbaits but I mean those which are "in a three-part"

[@SplishSplashFishing]

I was working on a 3 part swinbait, but as the hinge didn't hold, the project is a bit on hold for now. I might take it up at a later point

[@evelinahjelte3460]

Hej undrar vad de va du doppa dom i för nått blev sjukt fint ! , är de vanlig plastisol? Som du verm op

[@evelinahjelte3460]

Grym för övrigt !

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Hej Evelina. Ja det er helt almindelig plastisol uden farve

[@user-tv6kd6hp5m]

До какой температуры нагревать рыбок ? Спасибо !!!

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Normally softplastic melts at around 150-180 degrees. So before dipping you should take care not to get the bait over 100 - probably more like 60-80

[@whytewolf8579]

Where can I get a deep microwave safe dipping glass like that at?

[@SplishSplashFishing]

I think that mine was bought in a local kitchen gear store - I has indicators for water, rice, flour etc. Otherwise check out suppliers for laboratories.

[@CrunkyOMan83]

8:00 What kind of epoxy is that, name?

[@SplishSplashFishing]

DeezRMyDays It isnt epoxy. Just some extra soft softplastic

[@CrunkyOMan83]

oh really? what is it called looks like epoxy though, its so shinny !

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Yes it a great way to get super shiny softbaits. Dont think there is a specific brand name - I use the softplastic from www.brightbaits.com/

[@CrunkyOMan83]

Liquid Plastic 1 liter - SOFT , from that site or from which tab i wana know specific on you used?

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Yes that would be the one
