    Purty work! A bit small though...lol jk Tight Lines!
  2. I apologize for not responding sooner. I just saw the email and realized I had sent it to the wrong folder. Thanks for the compliment. As far as the spots, I make a template by taking the plastic packaging from a lure box, or kids toy or whatever you can find that is able to be cit or drilled, but flexible enough to shape how you want. I used a 1/16" drill bit and drilled about 25 holes randomly in about a 3x1" area. To get sharp defined spots, hold the template right against the body and shoot your paint. To get softer or faded looking spots hold the template about 1/8" off the body and shoot your color. One of the main things to do here is shoot several light coats instead of one heavy coat. Hope this helps and tight lines, bb

    Thanks BBM! Hi Fishon-son, Thanks for the compliments, but I did these for a client a while back on the bodies he sent. I am in the middle of testing the new lures I am making and will be out of pocket for a while till I get those going. Tight Lines All! bb

  15. Some I bodies I made and finished. All 8 inches long.
  16. It was hard deciding which lure to enter in this contest. Since it is a lure you made and/or painted I decided on this one. A friend of mine could not find a large body swimbait that would get down and stay there without rising or falling fast. I told him I would try to come up with something, and here it is... Measures 10 inches nose to tail. The body is one I cast from my Topwater/glide walking series. The tail is Medium body soft plastic that I made a mold for and cast myself. It dives and swims in a tight S pattern to 8-10 feet. It suspends completely level in 60+ degree water and rises very slow at about an inch every 4 seconds in 55 or lower water. The bill is hand cut and shaped from lexan and pinned in then glued and sealed. It weighs in at 5.25 ounces with hardware. The sides are waterslide with blending to a 4 color scale pattern from the shoulders to the back and natural color blending for the belly to tail. I do not know if this is the best looking of my baits, but this is one of my best works from start to finish especially since this is my first completed swimbait, it is one of my own engineering, design and craftsmanship, it does what it is actually designed to do and it is to be a gift for someone else for Christmas. I hope all is well with everyone, the holidays find you warm and surrounded by laughter and love, and your lines stay tight in the upcoming season. b
