Hard to believe about "first attempt" , I like that detailed carving style with eye indentions , gills and upper lip furnished into the blank , also the paintjobs match that detailed appearance of small baitfish .

The diving bills look a little "oversized" in terms of their thickness to me , but I guess , this helps the lure to run stable and track true .

Obviously no topcoat applied yet , isn't it ?

hi diemai i have since i made these bought thinner perspex and got some thin upvc,aluminium and stainless sheet to try in future lips, they have had 2 coats of clear laquer but i think i will coat them in epoxy too as the shine does not look as deep as others ive seen on here, thanks to all on this site ive learnt a lot from you all
