I should be painting more soon, I just ordered some more blanks. If I wasn’t lazy I would make some....

Very nice.

Ok, I finally got a craw that I like. I just need more practice with the shell lines.




And an experiment that is kind of growing on me.

I like both of those Matt! Better paint up a few!

That's a really good "Molted Craw" look with the foil bursting through the red/orange line!

Something like this...

These were the first, but just clear coated. I’m sure the fish don’t care about the imperfections.

Those are bad to the bone. Beautiful.

Sorry I got some new blanks and well I throw a lot of shad colors.

Really like that blue/turquoise iridescence.

I really like this blank!

Looks like the high quality hook hangers and lip are oriented perfectly.
Appears to be very similar to the Megabass S crank sq bill.

These are very nice blanks, and is the first time for me to order from sugartit custom lures. I do believe this is the S crank knock off. His baits are a tad bit more pricy than others, but the quality shows it's self. The 1.5 square bill that is labeled "very high quality" sure are. The seams are seamless, along with the body and bill plastic being very clear. I have yet to fish any, but have to think they would preform well as compared to others. Now I only wished I had ordered more, anyways excited to paint some more.

The Fun N Sun show 2 or 3 years ago Alton Jones asked me to paint a chartreuse and purple jerk bait. The memories just hit me, and I had a new purple so I painted this.

That's a work of art right there.

OK, I am just getting started in painting my own baits. Getting ready to retire in Sept and figured I better find something to do for fun on cold rainy days. These are the first baits that I have ever painted. Be brutally honest, what did I do right, wrong, need to learn, whatever. I am having a blast at 66 yrs old. Finally doing some colors in certain baits that I have always wanted but no-one offered. Even learning to add micro glitter into the epoxy before going on the drying wheel. Had no idea that this hobby was going to grow into a house payment The first pic is just where a took an ugly glide bait and added a JigSkinz to it. Painted the underbelly bone, added the sunset orange under the front and gold and chartreuse micro glitter to the epoxy finish. The rest I sanded, and painted from scratch.
