banks customs

Speedbead: Thanks for the clarifications. I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you.

it is a keeper! rip it at night .. it gets hit !

Thanks much. I got a day job but evenings are for custom work.

The baits were Castaic hard baits I repainted and changed the eyes. The carp color does get slammed for sure as there are no trout were I fish it.

If you haven't decided yet ... you can PM me for a fresh coat.

I've pulled line out too!

i had some very painful tendonitis in my casting arm elbow. big baits + wrong rod = pain. had some PT on the elbow, better now and I got a LDC Rod so i can cast all day .. no more pain.

I hot water rinse any stinky soft swimbaits to get any smell residue/oil off. Then I use a few squirts of PTL Hog Tonic in a Ziploc and soak the bait for few days. Works for me.
