Hi everyone,
well the frozen tundra & glacial icecap is slowly retreating northward here in Ohio.. Time to get back into lure testing and fishing Finally!.. I believe Ohio recorded its largest snowfall amounts for February this year, so much for Global Warming..
No ice free waters here just yet in my immediate area,, but I hope to have open water for lure swimtests shortly..

Here is a group of 5" and 7" minnows I just finished up.. I was playing around with very simple color blending, no scale work, just blending.. These all have the same topcoat-- twin-layered epoxy with very fine gold/silver glitter mixed into it.. Some have a little red/blue/green glitter too.. The glitter effect didint show up in the pics tho, very disappointed in that.. they really look sweet in hand..
I might add the gill/fin marks before its all done but for now Im happy w/the results..
Most of these would be for walleye enthusiasts more so than musky, and the pike will smash just about anything, so maybe they'll hook a few pike as well..!
JP~

Nice looking stuff. They look like some wrasse that I've seen. If your looking for some pattern Ideas do a search on "fairy wrasse" or "anthias". Cool stuff.

I have to admit Dave, I had absolutely no idea at all what ""fairy wrasse" or "anthias" referred to.. So I ran an image search on the terms.. Glad I did too.. Great ideas as you said.. Thanks as i do like the brightly colored lures for day fishing..Thanks again, and thanks to everyones comments on my lures..
