Give me a couple day's... it's dryin'...

Thank you all...

I put this together for my wife's grandfather (83) who doesn't fish much any more. He's asked me for a custom for year's now and I wanted to do something a little special for him to hang on the walll. Came out pretty cool....

I had a fishing expo this weekend and had to paint up quite a few bait's to have something to show.. Here's a few I did for the show. Got kinda crazy with the bluegill's...! I also put some claw's on the Rapala dt 14 craw I painted.. What do you think of them...

Excellent job bud...!

I like it the way it is man! Great job...!

Dude, I'm lovin' those!! lol.. Great job....

Very slick...!

Closest one is about 200 miles from me.. lol. I have a buddy in Lousiana that I send money and he ships them to me..

Word of advise when spraying auto clear's.. Let your paint fully dry first.. I think I jumped the gun on a couple of these! the paint wrinkled a little. Give's them a little more sparkle but looks a little weird...

h20 xpress wake baits... Great little bait...

I got on a little shad kick last week. I added some color to my golden shiner and tried some new colors.. Shad's and Shiners Royal golden Shiner Golden Shiner w/ Gill spot Threadfin Shad Real Shad Chartreuse Golden Shiner ??? Shad...lol

Here you go.... Get the big bottle's.. They last much longer and better value... http://www.texaswoodcarvers.com/Tool_Catalog/Adhesives.htm#Epoxy Glue

Smallmouth is a tough pattern to paint! You did a great job on that one though...

Look's like you sprayed a little purple on your hand's there!! lol.. they all look great but those tiger striped one's are really catching my eye...

This was a combination of natural light and a ballast-style halogen ceiling light I had laying in the garage. The white background is a sheet of computer printer paper. Only the best around here! ;D (I'm using a meat fork for an airbrush holder....) ;D ;D ;D

Meant to ask you, did you make a light box for your picture's? They look great. I've tried making one before but just could not get the lighting right. What kind of light are you using?

Check out these airbrushes. They have one gravity fed that look' s like it would work great on sale for like 40 bucks.. www.airbrushcity.com

Awesome String...!!!

My latest project.. I painted up a bunch of these pre rapala collectable lures and a couple newer ones. I improvised on a few of the bill's just because I'm not crazy about the white bill.. What do you think...????

<<<<<Jealous...!

I use it on some baits. I use a mini touch up gun for mine. I also wear the respirator. I built a rack to hold my bait's and when I'm ready to spray I take the rack outside and spray. The stuff is super nasty and very hazardous so be careful with it...

Well holiday's are over and trying to get my head back on track went out and painted a few up... I tried to copy a bluegill my daughter caught a while back. I also tried something a little different on my pumpkinseed sunfish... What do you think...?

Very nice!!!

Sweet man! Let us know how it run's when you thaw out...
