Had a chance to paint a few of Marty's custom balsa crankbaits. Hats off to you Marty, You carve some awesome looking baits!! Had fun doing these and Hopefully we both catch some nice fish on them!! I will try to test them out this weekend and get back with you on the action of them. Thanks for a chance to paint some truly nice customs!!

Thanks Cliff !!

Takes a little while to get the hang of it but looks amazingly real when finished. The only draw back is they are very time consuming getting fully painted. I think thats why a lot of guys dont do the photo finish style baits. I keep a high quality camera in my boat now, just for baitfish caught. Good luck with it when you give it a try!!
