final prototyping phase -

I use airbrush colors, mainly transparent, from a german company called Schminke. I think they are available in the States, too. Pretty old and big company. http://www.schmincke.de/ I found their colors to be more intense and bright so to say. Besides they are ready to use and if a color is not ready made I can always use the RAL table they provide, so that I can create my own. Some details I add using a very fine paintbrush (using the same airbrush colors) -

190mm (7.5inch) shad swimbait. more like a softplastic lure: head section fixed with tail action only. hope you like it.

fabulous bait. -
great looking swimbait! -
my 2 cents: weight it in 2 places of the main body (the head section). put the weights as far apart as you can - this will "fix" the head section so to say. the tail (the last section) build it in such way that when seen from above to resemble a "V". you won#t need the lip anymore. that beeing said I find your lure very cool, great work man! I might add that I am a big fan of this type of lure (swimming action) myself. -

Thanks man, those pike's eyes are real glass eyes, aspherical and seen from front are really bulged. They come transparent so I need to paint them... unfortunately this is a a very time consuming task. -
