I dunno about all that, Vince!

It's a cheap Chinese knock off, painted with rattle cans... LOL
If you, or anybody else, wants to try it, lemme know. I'll tell you where I got the blank lures and how I did it. Next time I'll take pictures.
I didn't take pictures as I went, so no SBS.

That is a work of art, David!

PS the eyes are black puffy fabric paint

That's right, Carl.
Several clear coats applied, one about every half hour.
3 total.

The whole thing was done with rattle cans:
White base
Fluorescent red belly
Yellow sides
Brown top

The highlighting was done with black enamel, dabbed on lightly with a sponge.

the clear coating  makes it shiny  adds some protection to the paint.  you did good David!!

Excellent paint job. I'm very impressed

Haven't tried them yet. Just got them.
But small cranks like this have yielded results. So I'm hopeful.
Heres an article about the matter:
