When you get that paint brush in your hand, the end results are really creative. Maybe I should say....progressive. They get your attention from the get go! Hi-5! -
Exceptional...…….. Really cool! -
3rd - Frog Bait by riveratackle
Braided Line commented on Curt - NC's gallery image in Best Soft Bait
Now that`s a good looking frog! Eye appeal plus fish appeal. That`s a production bait. Very nice. -
Your creative paint jobs on your baits are always 1st class. Hi-5. -
Getting hung up in trees/brush, what ever. You win some. You lose some. Just the way it is.

No doubt in my mind it would make a great flipping/pitching bait. Looks long enough to insert a rattle for a little extra enticement. -
I like it so you know you did good. Love red eyes. They just seem to add the finishing touch on certain creations. The under belly is the perfect match. Hi-5. -
The rich tone of your paint scheme certainly "pops" on that big puppy. -

One thing I like is a full skirt. Like the blade color as well. Everything matches. That being said, well done. -
For me, that paint/design combo really is an eye catcher. Just really cool. It`s got my vote. Fist bump. -
A nice integration of color tones. That green eye just finishes the "look." -
All the lures you posted are great eye-candy! The colors , which cover a wide spectrum , makes each one stand out. Your imagination with those colors, certainly deserves a Hi-5! -
Like some, I strip the rod of guides and deep six the rest. As I make my own rods, parts are always welcome. Also save some cork for fill mix, on other handles.
-
No to your question. For me it`s cheaper to paint my own.
-
Your presentations, all of them are really nice to look at. That`s one of the first things that catches your eye! I`m a color guy. You got me. Really, nicely done ! Fist bump..................... -
Use the correct stuff made for gluing tips. Does it`s job and can be heat melted for an easy off as well. Not to much heat through. J s/n.

Looks like an up grade on the Gay Blade. Great colors on all you have posted. That would be a killer on "schoolers" on the St John`s river. Hi-5. -
If ever there was one made thinking out side the box.......that`s it! You nailed, "ORIGINAL." Hi-5. -
That would be a great shallow water lure with a shorter bill. Either way, the tone of the green gives this lure a totally look. Nice work! -
This one is way to cool! Has the "look." Once again, the red-eye, is the cherry on top! Fist bump. -
You hit his one out of the park. Course, the red eye see`s all. Hi-5. -
I have e-mailed manufactures in the past . Most have a customer service contact. I`ve asked similar questions. Storage conditions and shelf life. Any other question I might have. I`ve been lucky in that I almost always get a solid reply. Certainly has been helpful. Some have an 800 number. Talking to a service rep is even better.

Interesting. Is the bill as big(thick) as it looks ? White. Orange. Black. Gold glitter. Red eye. Green/Lime. May not be the slickest lure around ...............But it has the look. "Come get me." Props. -
Some hobby shops carry small motors. As noted by others, I have adapted an old grill motor and it did the job. Great for a stand-by but there are better small motors available.
-
Lots of ways as noted by others. For me.....one tapered punch. One hammer. Set hook on anvil ,flat. Put small end of punch in eye opening and give it a lick with the hammer. Continue till opening is the size needed. Temper The" lick" as needed. Nothing hard about this. If all else fails, try YouTube for a tutorial on the subject. Audio/visual.
