Just sent in my measurements to Artistic Anglers and was wondering how their work is. I hear it is very good but i was just wondering what you other musky fishermen think. Thanks!!

Guest, I have not seen Artistic Anglers work but have heard that it is very nice, My personal choice along with many others here is Fittante, What are you having Made?

The Guest posted this question on Lake Link and I suggested he post it here since many of you MN folks might be more familiar with Artistic Anglers work....

I already Gave him the Fittante pitch and told him I was picking up my repo on TUESDAY!!!!

Anyway....please help him out if you have an opinion on Artistic Anglers....

I saw Artistic Angler's work at the Chicago show last March. He does very, very nice work. I think he does the best painting I've seen. The fish's markings and color are great, and the tails and fins aren't so orange looking. Just my opinion. I am deciding right now whether I want him to do my son's fish, or take advantage of my $100 certificate from Fittante.

How big a fish? Got any pics? Please post them. We all like to see other's successes.

They do great work! All or most of the replicas in Thorne Bros shop were done by them.

They are very well done and I have heard they are a bit less expensive than the BIG 2 replica guys.

I would go with them if I ever have a replica done.

You will love the finished product.

I saw their work at Thorne Bros. last week. they looked good. I think it was $11.00 per inch. I'm not sure what Fittante charges, it is not on their website.
