jr1945, those are stunning. Do you fish them, or just look at them? I bet those drive bass crazy.

fish them whenever i get the chance. too cold out now so i'm passing the time getting some ready for spring.

Are they for sale?

Here are a couple of mine in a jig.

Beautiful all around on those colors!

I'm partial to the first jig, but both are very cool.

Here's a new bluegill I recently did, inspired by Whittler's bluegill patterns.

These patterns and baits are awesome! I am amazed at the skills you folks have! Quite frankly Im a little jealous! Keep up the good work and keep posting more pics! I love seeing everyones creations! These baits would drive the bass nuts in the lakes around where I live!

Here's a foiled bluegill I did a while back.

jr1945: i loved your scale design soo much i wanted to try it myself!

Excellant craftsmanship guys, and ladies. Just flat out awesome paint.

Beautiful baits Barry....As always.

The second one in this series is just fabulous. If the picture is that good, I can just imagine how it would look in real life. Just beautiful. :Applause: :Applause:

This is one of the best bluegill paints i've seen. I love the subtle ones.

Thought I'd resurrect this thread to add a couple recent bluegills I did:

Natural Bluegill

Golden Bluegill

We should have a mod sticky this thread.

There are some awesome gill patterns in here. Very nice work everyone! Here are a few that I've done on my cedar baits.
