So here is one of 8 baits I got from dakotalakesbaits.com I got two of these Jerk 3.5, 3 rattle shads, 2 smaller minnow type baits and one floater walk the dog type I decided to paint two before work since I just got them in the mail this morning. They are both brush painted with bottle type acrylics and coated with D2T I used painters tape to make the stripes and sponged on the black paint after applying the tape. Thanks for any comments and feedback
