7" reverse joint trout

I finished and painted the latest 7" trout with the screw eyes in the back of each section, and the pins in the front.

I used a silver/blueblack color scheme like a stocker trout.

The lure swims really well, and swims but is very subtle at slow speeds, which is a good thing.

I also included a picture of the 6" black crappie I repainted earlier.

Hi , Mark , good to see , that you're back in business after your PC jammed :)!

Out of all your recent uploads I like this one best , the scales seem to be somehow textured , I remember, that you wrote about it somewhere before , achieving this by a certain paint method .

Also I am fond of the way , that you have painted the tail , all in all a very good looking trout pattern .

Thanks guys.

Dieter,

The scale pattern is achieved by spraying several heavy coats of the scale color over the mesh, which has to be tightly pressed onto the lure face. The paint builds up at the mesh/lure connection. If you dry it and then lift the mesh carefully, it leaves a 3D pattern.

Snax,

Thanks. I think I'm going to stick with the conventional white/green/brown trout with spots for now, for the 7" lures I'm going to sell, at least at first.

It's a color scheme everyone likes, and is used to, and I don't want to start getting fancy until I know I have a marketable product.

One thing that didn't photograph well is a thin lateral line I stenciled onto the sides. I used iridescent violet, and it shows when the lure tilts and catches the light. I thought about trying to carve a line in, but painting seemed a lot simpler.

It was really frustrating not to have access to my own computer. Funny how technology has crept so far into my life.

My brother-in-law said he found over 50 different spy ware things on my computer, along with enough porn to start my own X rated business.

I asked him if he saved them for me, because I never got to see any of that stuff. He deleted them all. Story of my life.

I don't understand this whole spy ware/trojan horse thing. If they're putting something like porno on you machine, wouldn't you think they'd want you to see it?

At this point, I'm just glad he was able to clean it off. Took him hours. Good thing he works for free. I fix his house, and he fixes my computers.

Just a quick word on the computer situation. I'm a recent Mac convert and my favorite thing has to be the ability to safely surf the net without getting all these pc viruses and spyware.

I find that I'm spending more productive time on my laptop and not constantly running and updating virus scans. Not trying to start a whole Mac vs pc debate but this has made my own time on the computer more productive.
