I have been airbrushing for the last 6 years and as an extra source of income I have been thinking about custom painting some spoons. Possibly even some crankbaits if I can find a good source of blanks. I made a few and had some amazing luck catching walley this weekend.
My question to you is what sort of designs would you like to see? Any color combinations?
Post pictures, drawing ect if you wish.
 
Since you asked :D

One in a Gold & Red (like the celta colour / pattern).

One in a Brown trout pattern with a couple of red spots with a thin white border around each red spot (kinda like a spawning brown trout spoon).

One in a dull dark black at the top, fading to dark grey at the fat end of the spoon.




Kind regards
Mick

One side black with a thin strip of silver reflective metallic tape. The other side, bare shiny silver metal, with a thin strip of red reflective metallic tape.
 
your typical shad patterns, bluegill and bass colors.. also just plain white with a tad of sivler at the top is a good one.. oh and crawdad patterns-- these are for cranks of course... for spoons, shad colors with that black dot so when it flips you see the dots come through
 
One of my favorite trout trolling spoons (also good on big 'ole pike) is a Williams Warbler - silver with blue decal. It would really be great to have the spoon painted rather than the decal. I imagine that will also help the wobble too.

A classic red-devil type spoon with blue and white on top and silver bottom side would be a great one too.

The classic 5 of diamonds but with a black face pain and yellow diamonds with gold bottom.

Johnson silver minnow (the weedless one and a genuine Johnson, not the knockoffs) with a perch pattern on the face side, and maybe a second one with a shad pattern - perhaps more realistic look - i.e. scale marks and a big eyespot running near the eyelett end.

let me know when I can pick up my order :D :D :D
 
I like lures that are darn near invisible. A moss colored green would work good in the algae colored waters I frequent.
 
I second the gold and red. Gold seems to be the most universal for the water around where I live, at least thats what the fish tell me. You should hear when the newts talk to me though. And the Dung Beetles...always talking $&it

I always thought Newt was rather annoying...

But that could just be me :)
 
Meppes used to make a spinner that had three colors on the blade split in thirds. It was green on top, white in the middle and orange on the bottom. Being I'm Irish, and the colors looked like the Irish flag, I bought it. I used it one day and caught more fish than I can ever remember in a day. I lost it at the end of the day on a snag. Never found another one like it.

So I guess a spoon with that pattern would be pretty cool for me.
 
nice work on the airbrush! I prefer plain red and whites, yellow and black 5 of diamonds. don't use much else when I fish, but then I never really worry about it too much. My uncle uses a collection of custom spoons, tea, soup, table. Yeah, cutlery with hooks, mostly because it pisses people off when he does catch anything.
