repainted bruiser

I repainted one of the original bruisers I made. My partner named the series the Bruisers, because the originals looked like stocked trout that had been bruised and beat up in the stock truck.

I did this one in Auto Aire aluminum, with a dark moss green back and shoulders, and Wildlife iridescent violet scale over that. Then I sprayed it with silver Krylon glitter, a coat of clear gloss with UV protection, and two coats of Etex.

I'm anxious to see if the UV coat under the Etex helps to keep the lure from yellowing. If it doesn't, I'll try it over the Etex, but I don't think it will hold up.

Riverman,

Sorry to take so long to respond.

Thanks for the compliment.

I'm getting a little better each bait.

Just like in fishing, there's no substitute for experience and practice.
