| How do you like these patterns? I’m still working on some clear water patterns, any ideas there? Your feedback is most welcome and appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

| They do have the clear coat on already. They just don’t have they eyes on yet. They do look better in person, must be my photography. I was having problems with the flash reflecting off the finish.
Thanks

Location: oswego, il | Mike, they look good. For clear water, I would take the perch and/or firetiger and use a white base instead of chartruse and use red where the orange is.
You could also have Xllund from this site paint them to or offer the bait to him for custom painting. |

Location: Chicago, Beverly | Something about the perch and black perch that I like. To get rid of the glare you could toss a black t-shirt or bandanna under the lures..

| ditto what toddm said. that perch in a darker yellow would get my attention too and something with a light bellie and dark back, like a tennasee(sp) shad would be cool. dont forget blue amd white and all white. |

Location: Black Creek, WI | NXT, those are some sweet paint jobs! Did you do them yourself? If so, you've come a long way (ha ha).
Personally, considering your baits are all plastic I'd shy away from a clear coat. Regardless, they look great. Congrats.

| No Jason (ha-ha), I wish though. My spray can technique peaked just after a few baits. Those are from Stan.
Thanks Doug, I was thinking of doing a couple of the “classics” I was thinking bumblebee and a red head too.
Thanks

Location: Oconto Falls, WI | I like the look of the perch mike! Don't change it. As far as clear water you gotta have the standard black/white (or silver), and please have BLUEGILL!!! |

| I’ll send you up some perch Travis – thanks
Divani – they’re not hand made – machine made. I mold the lips and bodies in my molding presses.
The curved lip helps the bait “kick out” easy when twitched. The curved lip also gives the bait a more horizontal attitude when diving than compared to the nose diving attitude of a strait angled lip – plus I thought it’d look cool.
Thanks

Location: Lake Chautauqua & Latham, New York, USA | Divani,
Where can I buy some of your baits (like the XL Divani)? Thus far, I have only seen your excellent lurebuilding instructions and fine collection of various lure types, but I don't have the time to build any myself. |

I'm not sure what Mike uses though. I'm sure he can tell you once he has seen this reply.

| I dunno what I use, on my basement spray can specials I use spray lacquer. The professional who’s painting these probably wouldn’t want me divulging his proprietary information on-line, but I do know that rubber worms won’t “melt” the stuff off though.
