There are some great lure painters out there now. Guys like Larry Chilton at Oscar's, Dwain Batey at Baitwerks, John Prior of Ace in the Hole, and Dale Sellers who was one of the originals are taking bait painting to a whole new level. Grant Koppers at Kopper's Live Target has some very special baits with unique lifelike paint schemes as well. They are all responsible for baits that are works of art.
North Carolina Lure Manufacturer Brian's B's has also help elevate the custom painting bar with its recent introduction of the Cricket Finish. The new paint pattern makes the most realistic patterns imaginable. Lifelike colors including crappie, bream, bass, trout, perch and shad that are double clear coated and hand signed. They are hotter than a two dollar pistol.
