I recently joined a local muskie club here in SouthWest Ohio and one of the members told me about this site and said I should share some of my work. From what I've seen, there's a bunch of talented guys on here ! Here are a couple of my recent creations:

Thanks for the comments guys. E-tex is the topcoat that I'm using over Createx and Polytranspar colors.
Here's the weights and lengths :
BlueGill 5 1/4" long 2.85 ounces w/o hooks and split rings
Striper 7 3/4" long 2.85 ounces w/o hooks and split rings
Red/white bait 7 1/4" long 1.5 ounces w/o hooks and split rings
Carp 7 3/4" long 3.40 ounces

That pretty much sums it up. I've tried the carp colored bait (before everything iced over) and it sinks at about a rate of 1.5 feet per second. Everything is still in the trial an error phase as far as the ballast is concerned, but I think I have a good handle on the paint jobs.
