As those who know me... I love custom paint. Here is a collection of custom painted lures that I think are great. Some of them I own and were done by the guys on this forum. Among them are Boisarc, Basscat Dad, Bradshuflin to name a few. Outstanding work. Some are from just around that I have admired their work. If you enjoy looking at real talent.... check this out.

Custom Bait Slideshow

that's quite a collection of special baits. i didn't see one i didn't like. some great work there.

Absolutely beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice collection

This one is insanely good--Do you ever fish with it?

I may have been misleading.... sorry if I was. I own about 10-12 of those baits but not all of them. Some of them are just ones that I have seen and thought were amazing. The one you pointed out is one of the ones I don't own but definitely would like too. I don't think that I would ever fish with that punpkinseed one, but the detail was so incredible I couldn't help but like it. All of the poppers, crappie, and hunchback wake baits were done by Boisarc on this forum. Basscat Dad did the gray/pink shrimp colored cranks. And I have some customs coming in from Bradshuflin within a week or two. There are some unbelievably talented folks on this forum, but if you ask them, they need a lot more practice. Very humble.

tell you what cw, i'll do a craw for you in that pattern while i'm doing the other two you sent me. then you'll have one of your very own for the collection. you prefer a 1.5 or a 2.5?

Shoot, beggers can't be picky. Which ever is easiest for you. Thanks BC. Pure Awesomeness I have thought that pattern was beautiful for a long time.... funny, not sure what crawfish would ever be that color but I don't care... It caught me.

it is a good looking color pattern. beauty is in the eye of the fisherman...not necessarily the fish. at most depths all colors turn to gray anyway. yellow and blue might be the exceptions with the most retention at depth.

Cworthy maybe a few of your new baits will make the list, have a few done for you that haven't been posted yet, I think you will be happy with them. Should be finishing up the big swimbait in a few hours then 2 more coats of sealer. Question is would you rather have square bills, medium divers, or deep divers?

Slideshow is very nice...

Brad, I have a ton of great deep divers. So either square bills or medium divers would make me giddy. I was wondering if all this rain gave you anymore grief at the lake house. My wife said I looked so sad yesterday in my room. I was just sitting there letting baits drop to floor and reeling them back up. Actually, I had just changed out the line on a couple of reels and that is what it looked like to her. Trolling motor coming Friday and I will finally get to go as soon as I get everything installed. Yippee....

I bet you had forgotten about a lot of those baits.

Your welcome to come fish with me anytime! I'm working the flooded st. Augustin pattern.

Road trip yesterday ... checked out several lakes, big and small.....all flooded with lots of stuff floating in the water or newly flooded and barely visible.....enjoy yourself and be safe.

Are flipping jigs into storm drains.
