I wish I could join in the accolades however as we all know bass eat their prey head first

Great work and paint job... Whoever rated this a 3 star is on some kind of drugs!!!!!!!! True cheesehead BUT the bait would not run right with the tail sticking out....Still has to be a functioning bait..right???

Amazing work, don't build lures, build artwork!

Thanks guys. I enjoyed doing that lure; I'll have to thank the gang from TU who provided help for me to get that done.

I wonder where is Tally's comment, he's practicing LaPickyness too these day

Cheese, hmmm think crank, maybe there'll be a tail out version sometime

He me is LP!!!! Yes the man can carve and I happen to be getting some schooling from him in that department. I will admit I am not the best student but LP is not the best teacher either;-)

Being a "pro" LaPicky as I LP has come to call me means that I need to comment. First, I know just how many paint jobs this bait went thru....LMAO and LP did finally get it pretty close. Second, I saw the clearcoat up close and it sucks...lol, but because of the time drawing to a near for the competition I will let it slide. Third, nice photo......the farther away the better the piece of art looks.....;-) Fourth, you need some more practice with the airbrush, learning about preassure and consistancy of the paint....Fifth, until you remove the little fish curse you put on me I can not say anything good about that great looking bait;-) For those who don't know, LP asked me to catch him a fingerling from this year. I was fishing in November and told him that would be impossible. Well as you can see from my avitar the curse he spelled on me worked. I sat in the boat and laughed for 15 minutes after catching that beast. You would think after sending photos of actual bass, both minature and small that the colors would be more appropriate.

LP, I hope you enjoyed my taking up with LaPickyness and as a true friend, I will always pick your bait apart...LMAO

Great bait LP and let us no how you placed in the competition!!

A fine piece of work.

LOL thanks for the discourse Tally appreciate it. However about the LP curse, I'm doing a trout swimbait now so would u care to participate in the reference gathering too?

All baits that were entered in contest are remarkable:worship: ,after seeing these...I'll not get into carving lures....as I would only embarrass myself.EXCELLENT could be the only way to vote here.
