Thanks Dan :)

They don't come with eyes, just the bodies, they're 3D molded eyes, I had a hard time choosing the colors, I always do!

Thanks for the compliments, I worked hard on them, the shad colors baits have six colors in them.

Yeah, started sometime this summer, picked up the Testors kit at Wal-Mart, played with it for a while and felt limited using it, so against Lucky1's recommendations (he wanted me to get an IWATA, too much $$$ for me not knowing if it would be used, or yet another shelved toy), I went with a Paasche brush, and have been practicing a lot since. I try to paint something every day, sometimes I get sidetracked with work, or assembling baits for sale, but I think practice is the key, well, that and having a great outlet for help. Tackleunderground.com, CLU and Carolina Chip have been very helpful in all aspects of this, I can't thank them enough :)

This one was supposed to go with the last set, but the clear was starting to set when I got to it, so I had to wait :)

I get most from the front page of tackle underground.com, and I have no idea who makes them. I've got some lures that are exact copies of retail stuff, like the Bandits, Sammy and Pointers
