MarkNY Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Finished my first handcarved bait recently. It's carved from poplar, aluminum diving lip, through wired, foiled sides, silver leaf gill plates, painted with createx, coated with etex and holo glitter. Appreciate any feedback. Lots of good work on this site. Thanks, Mark l 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLT785 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Save the image, then zoom in. Looks like he used netting or screen. Overall, it's a great looking bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
