Thank you Dieter and Patrick.
They are swimming better . Learned a great deal about painting and lure construction from these blanks JBlaze gave me. I owe him big. For a beginner, I would say having the same frame to work with over and over really gives one a chance learn. I will be experimenting with darker bases soon. Still learning......
Great looking baits! Amazed at the variety of actions produced from the various baits. A bit of something for every occasion. Really like that indian wobbler. Nicely done Diemai!!
You might try a cutter like on of these.

Good luck.
Let me first say ; I do not make eye sockets. However, I do use a dremel.
You might try using this to start your hole for the eye socket.

Once you have the hole started then use what your going to make the eye socket with. This starter hole should help prevent slipping and help bite.
Three wire umbrella made from pine, stainless wire, acrylics, and two part epoxy. Got bit first time out on this with swimbaits tied on. Hope to catch a few with this one.
I like your choice of colors and the way you blend them from light to dark. Really give s the lure the perception of depth and though bright, a very natural appearance. Really nice Jari!
Good looking Heiddy! How slow does it sink? I am still working on my own version but not happy yet with the action. Find weighting to be tricky business.
