Shads

Just done, I like these a lot, hope to get to use them on the fall run. 5" x 1 1/2 oz  The top one I plan on using for muskie, been told that's the best color ???? 3 tails by SteveL and top is by Old Man Bob.

Excellent work...they are sure to catch!

 very nice!!

Frank

Wow do I like those shads...how do they run?
Any muskie takers this year   

MS

All those colors would work on muskies...they are beautiful   

frank nice swimmers.........those arent your mistakes again are they........dam your good

Yeah, Handyman, he keeps making 'mistakes' better than our best work.. ha ha!

That last post of your's, Frank, encouraged me to try the netting technique for scales.. suffice to say that's a couple of plugs you chaps are NOT going to see..  
Not until I respray them, anyway. Any top tips on 'how-too' greatly appreciated..

Great shape to your plugs, love the colour combos!

Very nice.. The would probably kill in the river during the spring run...  

Hi Guys -  thanks for the compliments !!!  Merry Xmas & Happy New Year   

Bruce -  anything I paint that comes out good I consider a mistake lol !!!  

Mike -  No muskie this year, only made 5k casts !!!!  They swim very nice around 3 -5 ft.  Good to see you back.   

Jim -  Doing scales is a real pain in the arse, takes a lot of practice  and I still mess up a lot.   I think the trick is to get the netting as tight as possible and not to spray to much paint.  

Jeff -  I didn't try them this fall, used only sand eel type stuff.  Will have to try them in the spring if the bunker show up !!

Yeah, you're right Frank..

I sprayed a couple up; at first, I thought it was my glasses.. then I thought it must be my eyes.. am I drunk?? .. counted the empty cans (2=no).. the blurriness of my 'scale effect' makes your eyes go funny... ha!
Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a go.
