Reinterpreting a classic: The Frog Crankbait Build. 🐸🎨 Balancing raw tones with vibrant details to create a strike-triggering contrast. 👇 Premium supplies and topcoat available in the first comment! Nature is the best inspiration, but as lure builders, we have the freedom to tweak the details for maximum impact. For this small frog-profile crankbait, I wanted a deep, rich look with an aggressive edge.. To lock it all in and give it that glass-like armor, I dipped it into my own formula—Bejan Varnish. It’s the ultra-glossy cellulose topcoat I developed to protect airbrush paint jobs without any reactions.
