hi lads
was thinking of buying a few richter plugs or similair cheaper lures and painting them different colours or adding glow etc... anyone know what type of paint or mix is the best to use that will last and not wash off first time?
cheers lads

I am in the process
Of making a few knife jigs from old stainless butter knives. For some colour and a flashy effect I was thinking of sticking on some yellow hi vis mining tape to each side. Plus a few eyes that are cheap enough at a craft shop or on eBay

Does anyone know what the deal is with UV reflective lures/paint? UV light has quite poor penetration in water, significantly worse than visible light. For sub-surface lures it doesn't seem like it would make much sense.

Hey mate I've painted a few of my ricters just recently, got stuck into the missus nail polish, I painted black lines red gills one one and a red head with some glitters on bottom of another,
gotta use the top coat stuff after though,
also touched up a smiling jack I had that was almost white from abuse

I've though if nail polish but I thought it would wash off easy even with a top coat. Was thinking more along the lines if spray paint or grabbing a few if those small sample bottles from bunnings. Is there a certain type if paint that's best?

I've used normal (non-UV or ones that don't require a top coat) nail polish on plenty of lures (the UV nail polish needs to be cured with a UV light and then top coated which left me a bit pissed after spending $14 on a bottle to find it does not dry). Normal polishes are fine for adding a splash of red etc. Have also used clear nailpolish for tying flies or adding some feathers or flash to a treble instead of epoxy over the thread- works fine. Even carry a bottle and strong cotton in the tackle box for quick fixes to rod eyes on trips etc.
