This is an 11" thru wire bait done in red cedar. 

almost too nice to be used. did you add a bit of pigment in the clear coat,it look like the finish got a special something that i can't explain

Thanks!!!

Nothing added to the clear coats. It's transparent brown and a bit of green mixed together shot over gold foil. I then added dark brown and a drop of black to that same mixture and painted the bars and fins. Here is the paper stencil that I made for this pattern with an exacto knife. 

ive seen lots of smb and that one is clearly one of the nicest for sure. some canadian  are doing flat one like that and they asked x3 the price that you asked and they paint like 6 yo lol . sometimes it's not how you look but who know you. would you take a perchbait for one of your lil lure ? pm your address ive got something for you

Thank you again for the nice comments! This was my first attempt at a SM pattern and for the most part I was happy with it. The pic is a bit misleading shown in the direct sunlight. It has more of a brownish green tint to it in person.
