Extremely ultralight, looks good

That's dead on

Planned on it, but fell asleep

Same here

Everythings the same besides the paint. I've started using Auto clear, but I haven't cleared in a couple of weeks so I know that's not the reason. I guess at this point it must just be something in the air or around the house, just a coincidence that it happened after I airbrushed.

Thanks guys, I was thinking an allergy of some sort also. I'm shooting Smith Wildlife paints.

Thanks for your opinion Tyrius. I don't remember saying I was going to purchase what he bought. Also, just because a bass up North hits a certain bait, doesn't mean bass in the South won't bite the same bait. I was just interested..

cough it up francho Agreed, at least shoot me a PM

I recently switched from water based to acrylic paints. I wear a respirator when painting/clearing. I never wear safety glasses or anything to protect my eyes though. I painted some yesterday evening and my eyes have been irritated since. They're itching, red, watery, and my left eye was closing up last night. Anyone else have a similar experience after painting?

I fish practically the same set up for finesse. But lately I have also grown fond of a 1/8oz shakey head with a 4.5" Straight Roboworm attached

First the nameless jigs, now a crankbait that won't be named. I'm curious about these secret baits now

I love the scales on the first one. I thought of trying them after seeing Pizz's baits, but I figured it would be too much trouble for me. They look great!!

Thanks for the advice guys

I've always liked your work Dwain, welcome to BR

Anyone know the best way to go about painting fins on their cranks? I'm working on a bluegill pattern right now and would like to make it somewhat detailed. Right now I'm thinking of just trying a stencil and spraying the fin. Then going back with a toothpick and putting lines on each one.

I second Predator

Nice to see someone from this area on here. Black/blue flake or junebug colored Zoom trickworms work well for South MS. Welcome!

Nice square bills, pattern second from the bottom looks like it could do some damage

Looks good!

That looks great, good idea!

I like them, they're different.

Nice paint on this one, the red gill looks good.

Nothing wrong with those at all! Great patterns

You've been busy. I like the "little john type" eyes you put on some of them. Another nice swimbait

Very nice design, the swimbait does have a close resemblance to the Magic Swimmer. Great pattern as well
