| These don't have Envirotex or hooks on the yet. I won't seal them in case you want a name put on it. By the end of the week, I'm going to seal them all.
Look familiar now?
I can't call them Nemo's because of legalities, so they are Clownfish.

I'll have to e-mail it to you. I keep timing out today.......been going on all day.

| 7", about 3 oz, slow drop rate, almost neutrally bouyant, side to side action with light rod tip taps, pauses during retrieve are a plus for triggering fish. Made to work in the less than 5 foot range. Can be worked a foot under the surface if you retrieve it straight in like a Reefhawg. Lots of belly flash. It'll do what you make it do. The only way that it won't work is if you ive it long hard jerks or pulls.
$25 delivered.
More patterns on the way. Made these because there was an interest in them for people's kids actually, because it resembles Nemo. It was my daughters idea actually. I'll be painting more until the weather stops me.
I'll attach a pic of just one of the color patterns that I'll be doing and a couple of fish that ate it during testing last week.
I've got bodies ready and will be painting when I can. I should have several to pick from in time for turnover. Like I said, this batch was made with kids in mind. Most of the ones that are ordered are for kids or wives with their names on them for Christmas. That another option, I'll put your name on it before I clear coat it, making it a one of a kind.

| I'm starting the clearcoat process on the Clownfish tonight, and will be in the garage most of the night. Doing some Sunburst, some Hot Perch and some Striped Golden Shiners tonight.
This weekend I'm doing some cisco/shad, some suckers and some redhorse.
Then I'll have to start the whole process over again when I get more bodies.......unless I get an urge to sit in a tree 
I guess the 30 or so I'm doing in the next week or so will have to do it for the year.
I'll post pics of what I get done as they become available.

Location: Racine, Wi | Beaver, do you have any of our beloved "Clownfish" avail? If so, let me know. I would like to get one for my nephew. Do we get a smile on them as well. I noticed the ones above don't have smiles. Or is that a no-no from a legal stand point?
Thanks bud! |

| You got the last one.
Now I've only got 8 left to paint, and I'll be done....unless I build that painting room in the garage.
I've got 'Hot Perch', 'Striped Golden Shiner'....only 2 left out of 8 of those,'Cisco/pearl blush', only 3 of those, 'Golden Sucker', 4 of those, the last 8 will be a couple 'Sunburst' unless I get more requests, and I'm making a 'Horned River Chub', cool looking baitfish that is gold and green with a dark black lateral line. Looks like something that a fat,slimy,stinky,mean,unpredictable female would eat.
Let me tell ya guys, appreciate what your lure makers put out there for you. I'm finding out first hand that it isn't easy to produce quality lures. I'll never bitch about the price of a lure again. I might not pay it, but I won't bitch about it.
