This guide will give you an idea on how build an inexpensive epoxy-drying booth using a gas grill rotisserie unit and some easy to find parts. This epoxy-drying booth will enable you to put a thick and even glossy finish on your lures. Which makes them look just like the lures you buy at the store!

Book Recommendation
"The Fishing Lure Collector's Bible"
R.L. Streater, with Rick, Edmisten, Dudley Murphy
Soft cover, 465 pages

A good historical reference of the last 150 years of fishing lures.
It contains identification and value information for most antique lures.
I find it to be a good inspiration for choosing colors and patterns when I'm  painting my lures.

We don't sell it on our website, but you can get it on the Barnes & Noble web site. The last I checked it cost about $15
