smalliesam Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 It's been many years, since my graphic art days, that I picked up an airbrush. I became a river smallmouth addict as well as a published fly tier in the meantime. Still love to throw plugs at bass and hate that some of favorites have been discontinued. So, when I saw the Copic airbrush on YT, I figured it might be the solution. If the fish don't mind a slight variation on a theme, seems I may be right. The Copic is working for the basics, but if I get more involved, I'll have to pull out the old Paasche. The Copic will still be great for bass flies so I'm happy to have it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigginpig Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Nice bugs. I would be tempted to make a couple sliders by rotating the head 180 on axis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) That's some nice work. I'm a addict to. There I said it! I love floating down rivers in the region, some times for days. I'm getting close to finishing a small version of a broke back Thunderstick and starting on a newt bait. There's nothing like a strike near the surface by a smallie. I would be a lot further if it wasn't for some jigs I have to finish. I like the black dusting around the eyes on two in the middle picture. I have a 2" bait which would look good with a scheme like the first pic in the middle, spotted belly. I call it Stumpy. Lol Keep throwin um, Dale ps, for that matter any of the larger species near the surface. Gets the old heart thumping!
