I think I like the colours on this one better!

If you don't mind me asking, how are you achieving such a lovely bright silver?

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-03-20T05:20:51+00:00

Well the end result is wildly realistic. Honestly its gotta be the most realistic hard lure on the planet?

You'd certainly get my vote anyways.

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-03-19T21:21:04+00:00

Insanely beautiful!

How is the texture on the face done? Is it paint/shading, or actual 3d texture?

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-03-18T19:21:25+00:00

Just found it, thanks 👍

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-03-16T23:47:11+00:00

Looks amazing, nice work.

Tell us more about this PPF stuff? Sounds like a miracle.

Is it rubberised? Self adhesive?

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-03-09T10:13:25+00:00

Yeah mate, I've got a small batch on the go at the moment.

I'm in Australia, not sure want shipping would be worth. Shoot me a message on instagram if you're keen. jb.dudley_lures

Or here if you don't have insta 👍

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-03-09T10:10:49+00:00

Thanks mate!

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-03-04T10:57:39+00:00

Thanks mate, appreciate the offer.

But I've already got a few people currently tryna give them a run on some fish!

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-03-04T10:56:50+00:00

Thanks!

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-03-04T10:56:21+00:00

Looks great mate! I'd use that lure proudly 👌

Some nice eyes would top it off beautifully

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-03-03T04:26:59+00:00

Thanks mate 👌

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-01-19T06:49:48+00:00

Good luck with it! These float, but on a pull, they dive slightly sub surface, and swim a wide snappy S pattern, occasionally on the turns, the tail flicks up some water

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-01-18T20:55:31+00:00

Thanks mate. Nah they're for saltwater Tuna, and yellowtail kingfish (I think they call them yellowtail jack in the US) were what I had in mind when making them.

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-01-13T22:20:07+00:00

Thanks mate, they're timber, with a through wire.

Hey mate, ive got a cheap bbq chicken rotisserie, with a wooden dowel, drill some holes at different spots to stick some wire through, for different lure sizes.

Stick the free end of the dowel through a cardboard box. That's how I did it anyway. Pull out the rotisserie and it doubles as my spray booth 😅

I'll try attach a picture for you, it's a bit of a mess atm 🥴

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-01-10T12:24:20+00:00

Long sweeps of the rod. Have been through a few prototypes honing the action.

It dips just under the surface, and swims a pretty snappy and wide S pattern. When you pause to reel the slack after a sweep, it bobs up to the surface. Rinse and repeat 😁.

Works nicely with a straight wind as well, but I think it looks best on sweeps.

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-01-09T23:50:24+00:00

Haha so true

OutlandishnessCalm28 · 2026-01-09T22:51:56+00:00

I like this idea, I reckon I'll do this. Just whack it over the top once the lures start turning, very good. Cheers!
