I'm not sure what I am. I've always been very involved with the sciences and had them as a hobby since I was a kid.... What now would be called a nerd/geek. Involved in stuff not normal for a kid. Then I always loved the arts too, painting, music, etc. Maybe my left/right working together? Then again sometimes in conflict too..... As a teacher I saw it all. I'd see the micrometer crowd absolutely go crazy when working with the 'throw caution to the wind crowd'. And since the right brainers let it fall were it may it they would be dumb founded by the left brainers frustrations but really didn't care in the long run, so it would exacerbate things.. I used to think, "well at least they probably won't develop ulcers". I also do stuff like this, but interestingly it takes an artistic effort but also attention to extreme detail. Not sure where it falls on the left/right brain thing. It's my niece when she wast about 18. It's actually fairly big and looks better in person.

I could see that making some nice waterfront or camp signs. That stylized fish on the left is cool. I'm not actually fond of painting. I've done about 5 portraits in my life. When I did the first one I just bought some paints and brushes and stuff. read a bit about how to do it, mixing, thinning, canvases, etc. and did the first one. I'm not really creative, more artistic. I see it and think, "I can do that". And it happens. I wish I liked it more, I'd paint a bit. As it is I do about one every 10 yrs at this rate.

I get that Z-man and Berkley don't work, it makes sense. I wonder what is special about Zoom? I thought they were pretty much normal plastic.

It looks like green pumpkin/black flake top, and chartreuse/black flake bottom to me.

See if you can get a free sample, or can buy a very small amount, so you can do a test, before you sink $80 for a gallon. You might also contact the manuf. and ask their tech people if it would be suitable for fishing lures.

You can also try O'hare Spring. 930 Lee St, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007 They have a wide variety of wireforms. He may have some he wants to get rid of. (847) 298-1360

Berkley and Zoom products are also a no-no. Found that out the hard way a long time ago.

I've decided to just make them myself. Doesn't take long and I don't anticipate making hundreds at a time and I can get exactly what I want. Thanks everyone.

You measure that sounds technical to me I think 90% of my lures I rough scetch a shape on a chunk of wood and trace a scrap piece of lexan for the lip slot then giver. I usually don’t measure or check the angles until I am finished. I would probably make Dave’s head explode if he watched me create a new design
