Swimbaits

Here are some more jointed lures.  The two big baits are roughly 5.25" long and the two small swimmers are 3.5".  I tried doing 3D scales on one of these, and I think it turned out pretty good.  The pic does not do this bait justice at all.  I also did a few foil baits and another dog-walker. 

Thanks for looking.

nice i like them. how did you get the texture on the foil? this is something i'd like to try.

I love the scales on the first one. I thought of trying them after seeing Pizz's baits, but I figured it would be too much trouble for me. They look great!!

Thanks guys.

Dave, the texture was made using a screwdriver with a knurled handle.  After I put the foil on, I rolled the screwdriver around on the bait to get the pattern you see.  I've attached some pics of the tool I use.

The scales aren't really that hard; they just require a lot of heat setting.  You do have to paint each row of scales one at a time and heat set between rows, but other than that it's not much of a hassle.

Good looking baits.  The new scales turned out pretty cool.

First bait is soooooo sick. I would love to tear up some trout and redfish with that last bait--sick saltwater pattern.
