I have no air in my shop, so I had to wait until it cooled off to be able to paint again. Thats not good for a newbie painter, I believe the more you paint , the better you will get. Here are a few from the past couple of weeks.

Gizzard Shad

Metal Gizzard Shad

Sexy Metal Shad

Red Hot

Purple Haze

Golden Shad

Sexy Herring

I like them. The sexy metal shad just looks incredible 

Good looking work.....I like the gold scales over the purple

Awesome work! I was looking at those outside barb treble hooks too, how are they working for you? If nothing else, they just look awesome

Very, very nice! 8-)  The gizzard shad and the red hot are awesome.

Thanks guys, felt Great to get the paint flowing again.

Hey Nate, The outside barbs work great and are very good hooks in my opinion. Earlier in the year I painted a sammy in the golden shad color and replaced the hooks with outside barb hooks and caught a nice 4 lb largemouth. That was in Febuary and my 1st bass on one of my painted baits. It felt great to catch a bass on something that I painted.

Thanks again fellows !

All those baits look very good, don't think the lay off hurt your skills.

Thanks !   I was just getting the touch to everything, when the temp hit 115  for about two months straight. I wasn't able to paint, but I did cut out about 50 or 60 stencils 

one word

PERFECT

Looking good pat
