Fishsticks Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 When I make a new lure such as a catfish, bream, shad or what not I'm always browsing online for new pictures. Showing as much detail as I can about the fish I'm trying to recreate. This is great for getting colors or a pattern down, but I'm finding it difficult to get the shape of the fish itself to be as precise as I'd like. I was wondering if anyone knows a place you can buy molds, or models of different fish. I go into the sportsmans wearhouse and see plenty of stuffed fish on the walls, but of course none of those are on sale. I'm looking for something that would make a better reference for carving shape, not so much colors or patterns. I can catch fish I'm trying to recreate but I only take pictures, would be nice if I could get that little fish to pose for me for a few hours at my workshop but it doesn't quite work like that. Anyone know a good place to go I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoya Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Have you tried catching your own and freezing them? Or using them to make a mold out of POP and then using that to make a model? Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
