| Hey Angelo. I sent you a pm for a link to a tutorial by Tigger. It is the best step by step I have seen. I didn't want to post it here because it was removed once. Too bad, it's a great resource for us builders. |

Location: Minnesota | You can have some fun making the foil bases too. Here are a few Grunts I did. One used netting, another used a wicker basket as the backing form and the last I just pinched the foil over and over again. I also use a lot of my kids toys. Some of those have very neat textures to them that transfer onto the foil.

| Grunt, those are really nice. You've got you're own style and they look like they'd produce big fish too. |

Location: Minnesota | Thanks! I would love to do some of the work others do here but, lures in general just don't command the price it would take for that kind of work. I imagine a Tigger bait in a Grunt with the foil and paint would take me at least 2-3 hours of hands on work. I amy still ahve to try a few for my own collection though |

| I've made a few in metallic blue over a lighter blue that are amazing producers. |

| Sorry forgot to log in on that last post.
Watching UFC and posting at the same time... bad idea. |
