Islandbass’s Baby Bass – Crankbait #2 Completed

islandbass · Post by **islandbass** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 11:26 pm

I finally got around to completing it. This is the same one that caught a largemouth bass while I was field-testing it when it was still unpainted.

Before

This time, I used a super cheap airbrush that I bought a long time ago and forgot about until I did a little spring-cleaning in the garage. The dark green strip was done by dabs with a hand brush.

After

This is what I call Islandbass’s baby bass color scheme.

There is still a lot of improvement in painting, but I think I am getting better with each try.

I can’t wait to try this out.

I'm with you already, we must be thinking alike! After the first crankbait, my mind started thinking about making a rattle trap type of bait! I have a plan to hollow out the insides and I am going to use a certain type of metal for the rattles that I don't think anyone has tried yet. As with many of these projects fly by the seat of my pants philosophy is followed. I'll keep you posted. Argh, the anticipation is killing me!
