Painted the "Tiger Hawk," design around the eye like the Hawkeye logo for the Iowa bait. The Crappie I didn't get the colors quite right. Needs more black,silver and a more yellowish-green gold to be a black crappie.

These are both display lures only.

Thanks bud! I use plasitc molded fish fins for the top dorsal fina and tail. Somtimes I use would for the tail too. I cut them to smaller shapes witha dremel sanding tool. You can order them from taxidermy supply stores or to save money I got my own molding tool that I pour plastic in to make fin shapes.
