Arbogast repaint
This thing was rough when I got it.
Years of neglect had taken its original finish, so....time to revive it!
I was in a color contrast phase at the time, and all the talk about the color pink around here led to this.
White Top
Black bottom

Nice! Why didn't I see this when you first posted it???
I saw some Jitterbugs in a clearance basket today that were in Bone color. I'm wondering if I should head back?

Thanks, Tooty. I can't stand to see old lures in bad shape. You might say I'm the Lure Reviver.
Actually, all of Jeffs comments about the color pink is partly what inspired this. Also, I was reading an old book at the time that talked about contrast vs. realistic finishes.
Poking around my spray paint shelf, what'd I find? Florescent pink! So, it has a white top, BLACK bottom and pink sides.
The markings were inspired by the old coach dog patterns, from bygone days.
When I got it, the poor thing was ragged, corroded and faded.

"Resourceful"... I like that.
I think of it as cheap, but resourceful sounds better.
Thanks, John!
