OK, I was fishing my favorite lake, my best spot, with one of my best baits - a Muskie Treats I got from Shawn in 2009 on my retirement trip. A 37 rolled over on the bait and things went well until it got hung up in the net. The fish decided to beat my bait against the side of the boat while waiting for me to unhook it.
I'm just starting to fish again after a break for a knee replacement. Here's what is left of the bait, is anyone willing to take a shot at stripping and repairing it with a LemonHead pattern? Pls. PM me and let me know what you'll charge and I'll send it along with the bait. thanks so much, m

Mikie I've done some very simple repaints and also some change the belly color on some lures, I have some lures that are going to repaired and repainted and I also have a brand new lure blank (it's clear from the factory) I'll be looking for someone to do that after fishing is done for the year I'll let you know who I find. Your fix looks quite simple but I don't trust myself with your prized lure. Good luck it's a great thing to get a prized lure back in the water.

Hi Mikie, Nice to see you're still at it! I'll bet that lure really shines under a black light. I would take it into a paint store and have them do a digital scan analysis of that color before I send it off for repaint.
