I'm losing my mind during this recovery process, so I've been looking for ways to get my fishing gear in order to prep for my return.
I saw that all of my lead heads in my plastic swimmy box were just unpainted gray lead heads. My daughter has a bunch of nail polish on her dresser, so I decided to look and see if any of the colors would work for what I needed. I also found some glitter from my younger daughters art projects at school and quick rounded everything up to begin work.
I had some spare eyes in my crafting box, but they wouldn't attach to round heads, so I fixed that problem.
Perfect eye size!
I painted each with some different colors and clears and then sprinkled some glitter on the top before it dried.
I put on another coat and attached the eyes.
I tried to match some of the colors I had in plastics to make it all look like one neat little bait.
Here are a few of the colors I painted up. The nail polish gets super hard, so should do well when fishing the bays.
Brown with a few different scale effects.
Reds
Clears and Blues...
Even if they don't work, I got some good looking leads!
Well my bay box is all together and I'm going to test my back in another 2 weeks. I'll start small before moving back up to the big game in the surf.
If you couldn't tell, I am bored out of my mind and don't watch much TV.
