Hi all,

This weekend I finally got a chance to shoot some photo's (on the ice) of my newest
lure. I'm pretty excited about it and have been working on it for quite
some time.

It is a fat topwater bait. It does a wicked walk the dog with a slapping
tail moving a lot of water. It flanks a little while 'walking' and this
will cause bright flashing due to the underneath foiling.
This bait has to be worked to get the proper action but when you develop a
good feeling for the rhytm you can also make it jump just like a real
trout feeding on flies!

* Made from a solid resin; tough, practically indestructible and buoyant.
* All ss hardware.
* 3D molded eyes.
* length: 6 inches
* weight: 60 grams
* Foiled and aibrushed using pearlized colors with color shifting
* 4 layers of epoxy.

 

Let me know what you guys think of it!

Grtz

Jeep, those metallics really set it off, it looks exactly like a trout. I'd be interested if you're making more as well.

I don't think that little rainbow trout appreciated you drilling those screw eyes into its body. HAHA! Wow! Superb paint job!

Fantastic Job! A+ But watch out for fingerprints on your top-coat and I hope you will use bigger split rings then the ones showing. Awesome Paint too!!

That is really nice work but how could you fish with it? It looks like it should be hanging on the wall, displayed for all to see! Very nice. I would also be interested in purchasing one of these.
