jrhopkins Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Those look good enough to fillet!!!! What are you using for the tail and fins??? Keep up the good work. Tony fibetts for the fins. best thing i've found for that application. very little resistance to hinder the action and tough. not cheap though.

Very nice lures. You're the best. Have you tried nylon paint brush bristles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhopkins Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Very nice lures. You're the best. Have you tried nylon paint brush bristles? i use paint brush bristles on some of the larger baits. i found that they offer more resistance in the water on small baits. also, color is a problem for doing some of the fins. i use Purdy brushes as the color is more suitable.
