Cleared Photofinished Baits

[Steven Ladner]

After a few layers of clear coat, they're finally finished. It's kind of hard to see the detail because of the flash of the camera reflected off the foil so much. The crappie turned out well and the threadfin shad changes colors when moved in the light (you might be able to see it in the pictures). Overall, I like the results and think I'm going to try some other fish patterns.

they look good. did you get the foil on each side of the back and belly to match up or did you paint them?

Thanks. Each bait was foiled entirely. The only paint used was where I airbrushed the top of the lipless bait. The ends didn't meet on the back of it, so I ended up shooting black along it.

I used to not be able to after failing several times with it. I gave it another try and it just takes a TON of patience.

Very cool.

I think purple was the first color in which I gained confidence...and it's still my #1.
