This is one of my big, hand carved balsa baits I make.

You did say you wanted criticizm and if your baits catch fish that is the real test, however in MHO....

I like the colors, shape and size of your baits, but I think you need to take a look at your wood prep before paint. From the picture, there are pits and I can see the wood grain.

When I make balsa baits I seal them with a thinned down devcon 2 ton. This strengthens wood without too much weight and gives a glass like surface to paint on. Just scuff up the surface with a scotch brite pad and prime, paint and top coat. The result will be super smooth finish. Try it.
