This is a Christmas gift for my dad......wanted a greenish gizzard pattern with some red accents and some flash.

Had a hard time getting a good photo (sorry for the busy background). Can't really see the shine of the metallic scaling.

Nice job Stringjam! Did you foil that? Looks great!

Thanks Z,

No foiling.  I sprayed a silver metallic base over the back, and then my green mixture candy (transparent) over the metallic.  Kind of gives that impression....definitely not as much "chrome" as real foil, though. 

Cool! I have not used any metallics, yet. I just ordered some though. Hope mine can look like that.

Looks good man! I have a haul of new stuff ill be posting later!

Bring it on Toledo! LOL

I have a dozen that needs final coat, but cant break away from painting just yet to do them.

Looks good Stringjam! I thought you had foiled it when I first looked at the picture.

Post them up Toledo, I enjoy seeing some of the talent of this section of the forum.

That is one awesome bait!  I thought it was foiled at first too... ;D

excellent work Jon

Nice job!

Looks good string! One question though, why go with those eyes over painted?

It's what he wanted. 

I don't really like protruding eyes.  I'm a big fan of the 3D eyes, but only if I can mount them at least a little inset.  I know some guys use a grinding cylinder to create such an imprint, but the plastic on some of the baits is awfully thin - I'm not sure you could pull that off without going through on a Rogue. 

That may be your best work yet, great looking bait.

Very nice work stringjam. It does have the foiled look. I'm sure your Dad will really appreciate that.

Good looking pattern, Jon.  Your Dad should be very happy with that one.  I just wish my kids painted baits as well as you do.

That is pretty!  Nice work!

Nice One Jon...Like the Red Stripe down the side .. I have some homemades smaller cranks with the red down the side

Once Again NICE !!!
