living out in the boonies like i do i sometimes have to resort to rather unconventional ways to refurbish my lures .
the hardware stores carry the basic line of colors in spray cans , the grocery store and the local department store ( plus a few gum ball machines ) can be a sourse of prisim tape ( stickers ) . but metal flake , or thoes bright neon paints ? where do you find a supply for thoes hot colors in farm country ? the ansure may seem unmanley but it seems to work . the ol' ladys finger nail polish , you would not belive the assortment of colors and effects you can create with these hidden treasures . i just redid some of my teardrops and thought they looked a little plain . with a little clear metalflake polish , you have scales that reflect off the lure in different directions , a clear / neon color can give different body perspectives , and the solid colors are great for the eyes .
so far they have worked out great , the only down side i have found is that your eardrums take a beating if you get caught getting into the wifes stash of polish .
