Fishing Lure Making | Part 3, Flat Sided Crankbait, Basic Foiling Technique

After thoroughly enjoying the process of making the Flat Sided Crankbaits, I decided to make another video on it. In this third part of my Flat Sided Crankbait Making series, I showcase the process of basic foiling technique.

The video primarily focuses on demonstrating the foiling technique, which involves airbrushing a Perch pattern over aluminum foil tape. This type of tape is easily available at hardware stores, making it a convenient material to work with. To achieve the desired colored chrome effect, transparent green paint is applied over the foil. In this project, I used Tamiya Clear Green paint as it is economical and easily accessible for me.

I hope you find this tutorial helpful and enjoy creating your own Flat Sided Crankbaits using this basic foiling technique. Don't forget to support my channel by liking, subscribing, and sharing the video. Tight lines and happy fishing!
