Little baby crappie pattern on a small variation of my other baits I tested it before did the detail paint but still little more to do before I say is finished

I'd tweak that to largemouth it's so close. I like it a lot as it is.

I could do a dark lateral line I still haven't epoxied it so I can still paint on it

One heck of an accurate lateral line! Most impressive.

Defiantly looks good as a bass. Little less green next time if you want a crappie.

I agree with this was destined to be a bass I definitely had too green but I like it better actually thanks for the input. I will try epoxy and get finished bait pictures

I agree. The glitter makes it even more realistic! Hope you stick a slob on it!!

Well bait ran incredible for the first 30 casts until it ended up in the river bottom stuck to a log or rock it is now in its final resting place at the bottom
