Location: South-Central VA | This is my first batch of lures this year. I did a variety from shallow runners to deep divers for trolling. I attempted my first "realistic" paint scheme with the Rainbow Trout. It came out pretty decent. Two of them are very close to a shad pattern that Fatfingers does. I take no credit for it! They are called OTV for Owed TO Vince. |

Location: South-Central VA | Sorry guys, I was experiencing some technical difficulties. Then I had a bunch of snow to shovel and there was the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, PA that I had to attend.
Here they are...finally. After testing them, my favorite is the rainbow, it really swims! I had it in the creek in barely any current and it has a sweet wobble even at really slow speed!
It doesn't show in the pictures, but the two "OTV's" have a fine pearl white scale on them. Just like the silver scale on the silverheaded minnow.

| Good stuff.
I see that you tried a variety of lips and angles. You'll get some great action from that I bet.
I like the third one down the best. Great colors. |

Location: South-Central VA | Finally getting around to posting more pictures of some baits. Sorry, most of them are in the same pattern but I think it's a killer! I saw it somewhere on here or another forum...think it may have been from Hazmail. At any rate, it's not my own. These are all lures that are 'prototypes' meaning they are the first I've done of that size or body style. The smallest is about 3.5" and the largest is 12". I didn't spend too much time on the paint with them because I was more concerned about their action than their look. I did two with the line tie in the lip- a first for me! It took some tinkering but I found the proper placement for the line tie and I'm happy to report that the lures run like a dream. I'm guessing that they run about 20'.

Thanks, it was my first attempt at a bass-sized lure and I had no idea if it was going to swim correctly or not. Fortunately, it runs great.
