Husky Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 This fellow could well be the "King of the Foamies" I just found this and thought some of you would enjoy the display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldthunder Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 WOW!!! Thanx Husky. You are absolutely right. Three pages of the finest cast and superb paint jobs I've seen in a very long time. The realism is incredible!!! If I ever get to the point of wanting to use foam, I know what the benchmark is. Now, I have to go and scrub the green from my envy....

fatfingers Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hold on, hold on! Is this what its come to? Are we going to allow guys to take live fish and put hook hangers in the bellies and tails and call them lures? Incredible work. They look like he could lower them into the water and they'd swim away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeeter jones Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 The perch and bass could be used in Ca. for the big Bass. Need to think bigger bait bigger fish. Was great to see his work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Very nice work! Now you say "foamies". are they injected into a mold, or carved out of foam? Thanks. Nice paint too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Very nice work! Now you say "foamies". are they injected into a mold, or carved out of foam? Thanks. Nice paint too! Jason, he made the models out of wood,(That's where the true art is) then made a silicon mold from the models. Then he used expanding urethane foam, 15 lb density, in the molds. (You half fill the molds and it will expand, taking on the molds detail.) It's about as hard as maple when done correctly. Some of them are photo finished over foil others are painted. In any case, the end results are spectacular on all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneCoal Tackle Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 "King" he is! Those are awesome, I think he missed his calling though. He should be a taxidermist, LOL. Thanks for showing us these Husky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esoteric Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 He's moved to Singapore now and I believe he has stopped making lures for the time-being. Hopefully he'll start again in the future. I'm lucky enough to own 5 of his creations and can tell you they swim just as good as they look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomdart Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Husky, was this the same guy who posted under the username "Peter" before the crash? These lures are awesome; I think Peter put up a bluegill foamie on here that would at least qualify him as prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
