Custom Baits

Post by Mossy Oak » Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:17 pm

I just have accumulated several Bagley balsa b3's and Luckycraft RC's and I need to get them painted. I found this website and the paintjobs are phenomenal, has anyone else ever ordered anything from him? http://www.joescustombaits.com/ordering ... atalog.pdf

Very nice paint jobs...Fav is the nightmare craw, but my main question would be regarding the RC series..They costs about $15-$17 per crank but he lists them at $13 if provided by him. Heck I'll buy them with their stock paint if he has them at that price. :lol:

I really like his craw patterns especially the scorpion craw.

Wow I just noticed that I might need to just buy new ones instead of repainting my old ones.

CLU does the best job I've ever seen. I'd go that route if I had the dough. (Custom Lures Unlimited)

I didn't look at the site but just want to urge caution before buying a custom painted "RC" where the price is less than BassPro retail. I'd ask whether the "RC" is an actual Lucky Craft product or if maybe it's one of the many knockoffs available. If the latter, you're buying a prettied up $3 Chinese knockoff.
