Thanks Bob!! Hopefully I can catch her again one day!! -
Awesome catch, Congrats man!! -
Nice looking spook!! -
I do a tack coat first, followed by three more heavy wet coats and its been holding up fine. My Dupont is snap dry and cures very quickly, I would think overnight, it should be fully hardened. See what the full drying time is on the label.

Big Bass Man commented on Big Bass Man's gallery image in Hard Baits
Thanks Mark!! It is photo finished with the shad that my friend brought to me frozen. It had been frozen for about a month before I thawed it out. It was pretty discolored, but I thought I would snap a picture or two, before I tried to skin it. Trying to skin the shad didn't go well!! Lol Thanks Matt!! On this one I used real thin foil underneath the pic. Its like gift wrapping foil. Sort of like Christmas wrapping paper. I started using it on my smooth surface finishes. On the Bluegill, I used regular kitchen foil, so I could add the small scales, created with a ratchet handle. Thanks Littleriver!! Its little fat belly sort of looks like mine!! Lol Appreciate the kind words.. -
Awesome job Matt!! Cool name to go with the great looking bait!! -

Thanks Brad!! This bait was carved and built by Marty Burns. He makes some very fine balsa baits. I had the pleasure of painting them!! -
It would be a Whole Lot Of SHAKIN Going On!!

I painted this swimbait for a friend at work, He caught and froze the shad. I was going to try to do the real skin finish, but I think it would have worked better if the shad had not been frozen. All of the scales started to come off as I skinned the shad. I snapped a picture of the shad, before I skinned it. This is a bait I painted using the picture of the shad!!

I use an artist brush for my painted eyes. Once the brush is wore out from applying epoxy, I pull the metal end off, with brush attached. It has a perfect round end for the eye, just flip over to the skinny end for the pupil. Sort of the same as a wooden dowel, but already shaped.

Here is where I buy mine http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/ss-lure-making-wire/311666.aspx I use the same technique as some of the others, wrap around nail & drill.
