www.staminainc.com and www.jannsnetcraft.com both handle lure kits concerning crankbaits. Some you paint, some others you just add split rings and hooks.

If you are going to make your own pours (soft plastics), be sure to go to www.tackleunderground.com There is a wealth of information and great boards filled with folks who make their own soft plastics and crankbaits and spinnerbaits as well.

oh, well at michaels you could buy a badgers starter set airbrush. theyre about 20 bucks, come with an airbrush, air propellant, 2 bottles, a connector hose, and a free paint offer. you gotta mail that in. check the sunday paper for coupons. janns sells the bodies.... if you want to make your own go to nationalbalsa.com and order a few sheets. its cheap, but the minumum order is 25 bucks. then just buy a rotary tool for like 30 bucks to help shape them.

just a tip- make sure your airbrush is cleaned after every use... i forgot to clean it once when i was using thinned paint and bang it was broken. so i bought a badger anthem airbrush... i wanted a double action airbrush anyways... push down for air, pull back for paint. its easier to control the paint. if you want a badger double action set its like 40 bucks.same stuff as above but its a double action airbrush. a set of 7 paints is 20 bucks

Id be more than happy to answer any questions about the soft plastics business... I have been making my own plastics, and selling quite a few, for a while now. Anything you want to know. Shoot.
