Those look great

Those are amazing. Some of them look real.

Great work!

Thanks Guys !!

The foil photo finish baits look amazingly real but take forever to paint. Just painting in the evenings like I do, they take up to four days to be totally finished. I can paint a regular airbrushed lure, put the clear on the same night and its ready to fish the next day.

Well worth the time I'd say. (Easy for me to say) I'm glad that I don't have access to your 'Foiled Bluegill' bait, because I think that it would put me in the poor house. Great job!

Man those look awesome. Great job.

Thanks again guys !!

I learned how to do the photo finish foil baits from a guy named Husky on TU. It was great of him to share the technique, he has a tutorial on the process on TU,in the how to section.

The first foiled ones look like they could swim off the page. I'm amazed at the talents you guys posses.

I work in the furniture business 40+ hours a week and only get to paint a few for other folks, as custom painting is very time consuming.Shoot me a email and I will try to help you out:
