kickingfrog Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 This is not my preferred colour but these were reduced to $14.45 so I grabbed two with the intention to paint one if not both. 9 inch Grandma My first thought is cream or silver sides and a dark back. Thoughts and input welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Try that colour first before you paint... ya never know! x2. I got a crazy colour of spoon for Lake Ontario suggested a few years ago and bought it. Sat in my spoon tray till this summer, wonder why I waited so long. It out produced every other colour of spoon I put out there. Went on the hunt for more of them and found them in one store and cleared them out. If painting, I'd go with a perch or walleye pattern. Silver and black combo sounds good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 For a second I thought you were going to give Grandma a face painting while she was nodding in the rocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Ok, I'll leave one alone and maybe just doctor the other a little. I did buy two jakes that were fish like in pattern and colouring. The plan is for a Lac Seul monster, or two, to eat 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaptackle Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Like others I had my doubts when I opened this post - wondered if a typo or a few words were missing (painting grandma's house, portrait, car etc.) Use 'em before ya paint 'em! You might be saving yourself a bit of effort when you find they work best as they are, and you can always paint later if they don't.

davey buoy Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I had always thought that lures were painted a certain color or design because they were tested and worked in certain conditions. You just have to find the right conditions I would think. Short of making your own or getting a blank ,than painting it. Give it a try first as recommended.

aplumma Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hand painting something that resembles the local forage can in most cases make for a more productive lure. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but "worked" for manufacturers means that it was removed from the shelf and carried to the cash register Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
