This is an old school technique: smooth out some thin gold or silver foil, which sometimes is used to wrap chocolate bars. Cut it to size, then glue it to your lure. It's not as pretty as a factory bait, but it does work. There are also fly tying materials which can be applied to a lure. Burnishing smooths it out while the glue is still tacky.
