Real work got the best of me for about 2 months, so I've not done any painting. It's been a while since anyone has posted something. Is anyone finding time to do any painting, or has real life taken hold of all of us at once?

just been painting mostly the same stuff figured you guys were tired of seeing the same ol thing from me. did paint up some spoons tonight.

hi sw! still painting but have been enjoying all the new people posting their work and asking questions. love to see more and more people trying their hand at this.
here's a couple patterns i've been playing with.

tonights work

I like that green color.

BC's bream pattern is very nice. Really like the matte colors.

DDRT 2.5's (dive 10-12 feet on 10-12lb. line) Very buoyant, the large bill deflects off hard cover making it a good choice around sunken timber. Use braided line and 12-15 pound split rings and you'll almost never lose a lure.

a few more from this week.

bc that pumpkinseed is sweet!

im still base coating for the same order lol

on to color shortly!

wiked lime pearl

thanks guys!

Big spoons in deep water...love the feeling of a strike on spoons hopped off the bottom.
Bream looking chatterbait colors...you must have a honey hole somewhere??


RT 1.0, 1.5 & 2.5's great little baits in a selection of patterns and sizes for all situations. When the bass are in the brush and sticks in 2-6 foot of water they're deadly. Short casts banging thru the snags with an erratic action calls 'em out of hiding. RT's and spinner-baits really begin to produce in cooler fall water temperatures.

nice looking array of baits. they ought to cover just about any shallow situation.
couple more of the chatter baits. they all were plain white and had been pretty well beaten to death. sanded, base coated and finished them up in a variety of color patterns. i even wired all the skirts on them. wasn't used to painting something that small. the hp-ch worked like a charm.
traditional blue/black

bluegill?

actually finished some up today.

Life's been keeping me busy as heck, though I painted a few things in the last 48 hours.

Looks like you guys are still "cranking out" some great stuff !
