Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate the comments a lot!

I have had the privilage of having a few of Marty's baits and they are VERY nice. Great work Marty!

There are a few places to get supplies for plastics. Bearsbaits is where I get my supplies. He has a broad selection of things and has the customer service adn support forum as well. A couple other places is Lurecraft.com and MF manufacturing and Delmart.

Was able to get out to the man cave on Friday last week and played around some. The red craws will be seeing Guntersville! The next 2 are BigM balsa baits.

The fish will like that one! Nice job.

Nice work! Especially for the first one. Are you using an airbrush? keep playing around and you'll have it down in no time.

Looks good to me! If you wanna see what it would look like use some plastic wrap. Put your gill on there and then lay it on the bait. Just a thought.

I have had some open on mme during install, and they get changed. I have not had every one do it to me though. Do the LC brand not have that problem at all? I like the black aspect of the XPS brand. I know the LC are grey in color. The ones at Jann's and Barlows are bright silver I think.

BPS has them. I use them on all my cranks and jerks. Great innovation!

I do minimum 2 coats and most often 3. It has a little learning curve to it. Let the etex sit for a minimum of 10 minutes after mixing. This will allow the bubbles to rise to the top and become clear. Exhale on any remaining bubbles and they will pop.

Awesome work as usual cracker! Great job!

That is pretty slick! Nice job.

check out www.bearsbaits.com or www.del-mart.com or www.fishingworld.com They all have kits for any kind of bait you cna think of.

All of these are already spoken for, mine. lol But if you are intersted, PM me. Hope that isn't against the rules. If it is, please delete.

Yeah it is a nice site. Little bit of everything here.

daveh, is that you? Welcome to BR. There are a few pourers here. As far as the painting tricks, I ain't got no tricks. lol I'll tell ya what ever you want to know. Just like pourin, I don't have any secrets. Great to see ya here, if that's you.

Thanks guys. Haven't decided yet on the expo yet John. Are you going? What day if you are.

More from this weekend. There is another Big M body in this batch! those things are SAWEET!

My hand is purple from holding on too long!. Thanks Barry. The tiger stripes I "borrowed" that from you sir.

Do you know that Big M guy? He does make a nice bait. But............. Just kidding! Thanks a lot guys! The scales in the third pic I did by laying netting over netting. Spray one color with one layer and then the accent color through the second.

Sweet! What did you use for the whiskers?

Here's the latest batch. There is a BigM body in this batch. Workin' on more today.

Great baits Marty! Still like that copper one!

Dang it! I got to read this one too late! Great idea on the contest John!

Sounds like it just needs mixed really well. Try to get a paint stirrer or something down in there to get the hardner mixed in better. Some brands and compounds of plastic need more mixing than others. The outside temp should have little to do with it. I have poured in 35 degrees before and had no softness problem. Get it mixed good and you should be fine.
