Topminnow

This is based off the blackstripe topminnow, which is very common around here. Carved from basswood with fins made from paintbrush bristles. This is my first attempt at bristle fins, and also one of the first lures I've done with carved gills and pectoral fins.

Got a long way to go, but it's been a blast learning and trying new things!  I'm definitely grateful for all the insight, feedback, and inspiration from the folks on here, so thanks all!

Thanks Dan, I just started poking around on SU.  I'm so impressed with what you and others do (on both TU and SU), the detail and quality of finish definitely challenges me to improve. I'm excited to try some more swimbaits! These bristles are from acid brushes I got at Harbor Freight, and I really like the mix of colors.
