4 inch Rat 11

The rat, finished. It weighs 38.5 grams, out the door with one dip coat of AC1315.

I used red glow-in-the-dark powder in some clear nail polish to fill the recessed eyes, and then added two drops of Solarez resin to get them to have the 3D effect.

Nice looking rat. I've made a few that work pretty good but I'd like to test out more variations of it to find what works best. Where did you put the ballast on yours?

Zev, 

I didn't add any ballast.  The bill, plus the two trebles and their #4 Spro swivel hook hangers, are the only ballast I needed.  It swim upright every time, and even wakes at high speeds if I hold the rod tip high.
