Nice Work!!!
Thanks Bobby!!
Looking good, I would have a hard time picking a favorite from that group.
I like them all, but the lipless shad blows me away. Some very unique patterns there. Im curious what was your inspiration on some of them? Jim
Thanks guys!!
Whittler if I only had your carving skills, I would feel great!! You make some nice looking baits! ~c~
Bassindude, my inspiration was to try something different. I had never tried the 3d side scales and wanted to give them a try. They were a little tougher than I thought they would be. The color patterns I cant explain, I think the heat got to my head on some of those ~sun ~sun ~sun The temp has been running 95-99 for two straight weeks ~sweat ~sweat I just try to think up of some colors that might look good together. I take pictures of all of them, whether I think they look good together or not, just to get other peoples opions on them.
Thanks again for the replies guys!!
Awesome looking baits. We have some very talented members here.
great job on the baits! I really like the foiled bluegill and threadfin shad. Nice work!
