Nice Baits! Cool pics! How much time does it take to make one?

[kickurbass]

I cant believe people fish with those.
I'd have them hanging on my wall as art.

when you say slow sinking (the shad)  how slow are you talking?  like 1 foot every how many seconds?

are you airbrushing them or wrapping them with print?  those look awesome.  If you are doing the airbrush thing, you have it down brutha!

[AlwaysHook3d]

WOW, what exactly are they made of?

[dolf]

How are they connected? Wire through? What colors did you use to get that shad pattern. Could you give us a little how to on getting that pattern down..as in how the layers went on. These are the best looking baits i have ever seen!! By far more realistic looking than anything you can buy. What did you use for the fins as well. Thanks man.. Keep it up
