Has anyone used these blanks and how do they perform?

Haven’t used them, but they do look very different from the real thing. Gill plate details are different and the internals aren’t even close. Close enough to call it a KO I guess, but not like the majority of his baits that are pretty much exact copies. That said, his baits are very high quality(compare to Amazon or some of the other blank suppliers and it’s not even close) and could definitely be worth using. If you have any questions on blanks from any supplier, send me a PM anytime. I’d be glad to help if I can.

Thanks brother, much appreciated.

I've been thinking about learning how to do some basic painting and airbrush work...looks like it could be a fun hobby.

Definitely a fun and addicting hobby. Guarantee it won’t stay basic for long ;)
You seem pretty creative so give it a try and see how it goes. So many possibilities to be as unique as you want it to be. Just be sure to do your homework on blanks, so much AliExpress and Temu junk being resold here these days on a few sites.

Koolio, first order of business is a kit for airbrushing I suppose.
