Really nice job bud, I liked mine alot more before I added the dots on it too. Only thing I see being an issue with your paint job is I only see 1. Need to do at least 2 of them at a time so if you loose one to a fish you have a second one.

What size scale mask did you use? If fits the bait perfectly.


Shot mine with iridescent and pearls, but I'm liking yours better. Mine was difficult to get the fades on such a small body.

only thing i would add is a very light shading around the eyes to make them stand out more. nice looking baits from both of you.

I'm on the green gizzard paint jobs now, hopefully I'll be caught up by thursday or Friday so I paint some for myself.

I really like your colors they are almost identical to the original pattern. Make sure you write down the mixes so you can replicate it down the road.

Catching all those fish you been catching on them I would paint several different bodies might be a cool patterns on a walking bait too.

Well you know that, it has yet to be the case for me. I think they just like coming in your boat for pictures.

I'll make you a deal though if I beat my personal best smallie this weekend I'll buy you a case of whatever beer you want!
