| Are you using the back of the screw eye to hold the tails in place? Looks like you are getting a bunch of people all excited for the ice to melt to start using these. I like the perch w/ wavy bars the best I think. |

| Thanks Guys
Todd, I should have a few at the FRV meeting..
Zach, I have two live perch in a 125 gallon tank that are the same size as the lure.
I actually took a picture of one of the perch and outlined the pattern in photo shop, than placed the outline in Illustrator on top of the outline of the lure and printed it.. than I outlined it with a exacto knive and made a template.
The screw eye in the back is for spinning it on the drying wheel.

| Nice work Ben! Ever try a white or yellow bass pattern? I think that would look great on your bait. |
|
| |
|
| Mike I have done a few rock bass and one white bass on a super shad rap..
I was going to attempt it, We think alike.. |

Those are all absolutely beautiful!!!
Love the perch, but that walleye pattern is SWEET, you nailed it:)
How are you doing your "walleye" eyes? Are you painting the pupil of a regular eye or is it all custom?
Nice touch

| That is a really cool way to get a nice perch color. I have seen your tigers on youtube and only wish I could get something like that going. I think you must have one of the coolest aquariums around. I also wish I knew anything about photoshop. Walleye's eye is cool but I still keep looking at that wavy bar perch. As CUDSV said, pics don't do them justice. I can only imagine, I know I have the absolute toughest time taking a good pic and trying to make sure everything shows up. Don't be offended if I say I like these more than the past ones. I mean, painting is getting super nasty and it shows you've been putting your time in! Keep it up and keep kicking more baits out so someday one can fall into my hands and I can show these NY muskies what a bait from the Land of Lincoln is all about.

| Thanks Zach and Shawn
Zach Your work has progressed as well.
I owe some of the credit to River Hunter from WV (Great Guy).
The challenges to match live fish is very helpful.. |
