got some fathers day goodies from the kids today and this is the ribbon that was on one of the gifts. can't wait to get this on a bait. i think it's thin enough and will be easy to put on.

Things really come full circle, young kids are more excited by the wrapping paper, bow, and box; while a seasoned lure painter get's excited over the ribbon.

I'm really feelin that top one BC. Outstanding. You should name the bottom one "Baby Steps". Looks like a lot of little feet with toes.

well @#!&*%$. yeah thats the little spinner. i really liked the blade that was on it and didn't want to do anything with it so i used those basic colors and did a tiny craw. with the spinner blade back on it should like a little fish chasing a tiny craw. hopefully some greedy bass will think it's an easy twofer and whack!!

here's a better look. everything on it was done without stencils...all freehand. it's a cute little bugger!

I'm liking how you guys are doing the little baits. I have something completely different in mind whenever I get back in the house.
