| Don, the eyes are something I've been working on for about 2 years and may be for sale soon along with a limited number of baits each year.
Woodie, they have 5 thin coats of envirotex, which is the minimum required to tooth proof a bait with etex (in my opinion).
Thanks for all the kind words. I have a few more I'll put up on this thread later today if I get a chance.

| Those eyes are sweet. The mylar-or whatever particular material you're using- fins are cool. I'd like to see those in the sunlight. I bet they really pop and give illusion of a different texture. |

| Incredible smooth finish. What is your coating? |

| How long did you have to choke them to get the eyes to pop out? Just kidding man, those are beautiful in every aspect. Once again the boyz in the basement have razed the bar.
Beautiful work.

| Thanks, you guys, I appreciate it.
I'm enjoying the building...but really looking forward to spring and some outdoor stuff!
There's a nearby river that turns on (for muskies) in about a month, so it should be fun to throw some new stuff. |
