figure it doesnt hurt anything and it does go with the color pattern better.

Nice looking creeper. How do you solder the loop on the wire? I have made a few thru wire lures but have to twist the ends. Tried the solder thing but could not get it to stick to the stainless wire I was using. Tried it with .051 wire and some .072 wire. Any help would be appreciated.

muskyhunter,
use a 60/40 acid core solder and scuff the wire up with steel wool or emery cloth.

Doug and Corey,
THANKS!

Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try. Like the wings. Takes a lot of patience to cut out by hand. Nice job.

Can someone tell me how to resize pics using the paint program? Everytime I try to crop the image it removes most of what I want to be left and leaves a bunch of background.

Go to the Image menu...Stretch/Skew...reduce the percentages in there and that should take care of it.
