Very beautiful bait. I really like it. But I don't especially like the spot, it seems too perfect, hard edges. Have you considered a soft freehand spot?
This was the second day I took my little purple re-paint Model A for a swim. I had caught a nice largemouth and a couple of schoolie spots when this guy hit. Was a good fight but I knew something wasn't right when he didn't jump. Besides sliming up my line and lure, the dang thing crushed one of the brand new gamakatsu hooks that I had just put on this old lure. Oh well, at least this old bait still catches fish.
Recently discovered this new hard bait category. Anybody used them? Anybody making them? Anybody painting them?
I thought they were Topwater baits when I first saw them, but no!, they are underwater baits.
