Well I don't think I can do much better than this. My artistic ability is tapped out.  

Man, that's beautiful!

Nice looking bait! That really looks good man.

On the side-when you painted that king shad, how did you get good coverage on the jointed section?

If you mean the inside where the joints are, I really don't worry about it too much. My over spray usually gets it.

That looks awesome. Great work!

An exceptional paint pattern, beautiful work.

that looks awesome! definitley better than the last bluegill you did.

one thing i would suggest (hope i dont get fried this time  :) is that you make the bars a little wider transparent.

other than that this thing is perfect. the color of the sides is awesome. in the bottom photo, there is some purple on the sides, is this iridescent paint or is that a reflection? if that is in the paint that is awesome because all the pale bluegills i've ever caught have purple iridescence.

nice job on this one

I think thicker bars would look good to.

I intended on making them bigger. The stencil looked bigger I thought.

Yea, that's iridescent purple on the sides.

just re-read my post and noticed i typed "a little wider transparent"

i mean to type "a little wider and transparent" if you couldn't figure that out  : ;D

can you take any paint and make it transparent, or does it have to be some kind of transparent paint?

That looks awesome!  When will you be marketing your baits?

I got what you meant. I actually used transparent for the bars. You can tell it's transparent in person. Maybe I went to dark on them.

Right now I just sell them on eBay. I'm working on my website and should have it up around Christmas. I'm also working to get a deal with a couple tackle shops at the time.

Thad, that is a better looking bluegill pattern.
