Big Bass Man Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Here are a couple of new colors that I painted. Also a custom flatside basswood crank that I built. I caught this shad took a few pics and looked it over as well as I could to see what the best blending would be. I am going to try a few different colors along the back. The backs on these change from green to gold. Lake X Foiled Gizzard Shad Foiled Golden Shiner Custom Basswood Flatside Crank I have been wanting to try the Real Skin finish on a bait. A friend at work caught and froze a shad and brought it to me. I left it in the freezer for a month or longer, before I had the time to try it. After I thawed it out, I thought I better snap a picture or two, before trying to skin it. The skinning didn't go very well so I painted his bait using the pic I took of the shad. The shad was a good bit discolored, but made a pretty neat looking bait. Foiled Tenn Tom Shad LC Pointer 100 in Foiled Threadfin Shad School Of Shad Dark Hitch Baitfish Quote

the crab Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Great work. That foiled Tennessee Shad is interesting. Is that a blank that could be bought or did you carve it? Quote
Big Bass Man Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks guys!! Great work. That foiled Tennessee Shad is interesting. Is that a blank that could be bought or did you carve it? A friend at work brought it to me to paint. I think it is a blank that can be bought from Predator. Not certain, but I will ask him Tomorrow. Quote
