Well after receiving some tips and pointers from a couple of very talented guys from tacklemaking forums, here is my first try and a new way of painting, I tried some freehanding and shading.

Let me know what you think and maybe some ways to get my coloring/shading right for a bream. Here is what I did messing around with it.

Very cool, Don't know to much about tackle making, But I want to get into it. It's looks top notch! I would buy that!

looks great!

i would cast it

Thanks for the kind words, I think I need to shoot some transparent green on the top part to give it a slighty more natural look.
