Random quote: Tough crowd, muskie fishermen. Especially late at night. Seems that a toddy or two detaches reason from the average angler.

I haven't posted pix before so I hope this works. The bigger ones in the top pic are about six inches long- he coins are actually caps for the rattle chambers I out in them. I wanted it to sound metallic and loud. The smaller ones are only about four inches long. Some day I'll invest in an air brush. I wasn't even going to post because there are some real talented folks on here but thought I may as well get a few opinions. Thanks- Erik

I guess it's tough to post pix from an iPhone. The links should get you there though.

So I'll try to add real pictures this time from a real computer.

first picture upload for me - sorry they are so small. I have as much to learn about this stuff as I do about painting!!

Pretty cool, Nice paint patterns. What did you use for the rattle chambers (metal tube/BB's)?

Nice

Very nice, I like them. Great patterns. I really like the bluegill/sunfish. How big are they?

Thanks - the rattle chambers are 3/4 copper with about 10-20 BB's inside. The nickels are superglued on to seal and then covered in epoxy. I messed up and didn't seal the top crappie well enough and the E-Tex got in and messed up the rattle. Obviously this isn't a serious attempt at anything good, just fun to mess around with. I have a few other 18-24 inch crank baits that I may post some pix of. Its a bit intimidating though, you guys are true artists - I'm a musky-holic that needs a diversion to get him through the winter...

PSV - Thanks for blowing the pix up for me!
