8" carp crankbait

NICE WORK!!! JOHN!!! Im running out of great things to say about your craftsmanship and your lures!

So... I will just say... "SIMPLY SUPERFRICKA SOMOLTUOUS LEE ELIGANT LURE!" Sorry if i missed spelled lure!

very sweet, you definitely have perfected the art of painting and fades, let alone the work to carve and build

Beautiful... great looking paintjob.

Truly outstanding work, one man should not have that much talent.

do you caught some fishs whit all those long hours of painting?

Quite simply, AWESOME!

Thanks guys, I do find it relaxing to do the lures. I can go into my room in the basement and get away from the stresses of everyday life for a while. I think you learn a little more with each lure you do. I have learned so much from the people here on this site. Believe me I have boxes of mistakes ready for the burn pile!

I do love doing the fades for sure. But better yet the hobby store likes them more with all the paint I waste. I called testors paint company and asked if they sell paint other than in those little bottles. They said only in five gallon buckets. I will stay with my little bottles!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Stop it Rookie! LOL You know I am going to get down there and have you really show me how to paint!!!!!

I simply do not understand why you mention the action of your lures. I thought you made lures as work of art, not for fishing.

Heck no Rofish! I love to fish them. I have trouble doing the firetigers and other types of patterns. I just figure if the fish eat other fish why not make them look like the feed. The collectors like to get ahold of them for the wall. I wish more of them would hit the water. I try to make all of them as running baits first and then paint the pattern.
