Got the crappie painted and also painted a purple gizzard which is probably my favorite paint that I’ve done so far. Every time I paint I remind my self I need to attempt to paint the pickerel again lol cm-chat-media-video-RECINOS.CHRIS~E7A3DF66-15F1-4713-AA34-F069B469AF0F.mov

Ok now this an actual painted bone, It has a ton of pearl and hi lites that don’t show in the pics. Trying a crappie next hopefully it looks good!

I painted up a green gizzard that is probably one of my favorite paints I’ve done it’s just so simple and clean, and also I painted a carp color that I've painted in the past

Finally I got the video to upload. Here’s the c2c video, it’s pretty cool how I called it because I always tend to get bit when my brother is sitting down haha copy_01386D8E-E141-4530-9DC9-78097CF85E98.mov

First trip out with the bone and it got chewed. Got this 8lb 7oz tank and had another about this size but she spit the bait. I have the c2c but it won’t let me upload it

Raw resin just looks so clean till it doesn’t. I made this one a low float, so it can be fished over grass with ease.

Hope everyone is a having a great day! It's been a real grind to get the Trutta to swim how I want it, now that I've got the swim dialed down i want to get these baits to get used by more fishermen. I gave away a good amount of baits and received good feedback from the anglers and the fish. With that being said l'm selling some baits at what I think is a reasonable price for a bait this size and new to the market. Thanks Specs- 9.5"/5oz/Slow sink/ Swiveling hook hangers/ 100bucks shipped sorry for the double post, idk why it posted before I finished IMG_3837.mov

Here’s what I did with the purple resin gill. I like how she turned out

Anyone like a good ole rainbow?

Looks clean, especially for being straight out the mold

Painted up another glide. This one is a light colored gill almost like a dirty water gill, at least that was what I going for. Also what color should I paint this purple resin one?

I tend to have the heater on when I’m clear coating but this time I was too lazy to pull it out

Some recent paint, painted up a dark trout with a gold back. Also tried to paint a shiner. Clear coat sure dose take a while to cure in colder weather lol. Had me nervous it wasn’t going to to cure. IMG_3604.mov

Painted up the glide, it’s a little exotic but it looks cool lol. Hopefully it gets bit

Finally got around to making the glide. For the first test it’s swimming alright, chops really well should be a good bait close to cover. I feel like most gill baits are fished next to cover so they really don’t need a super wide glide. How do y’all like to fish y’all’s gill glides? Wide glide or choppy? ps: it’s not uploading the swim vid idk why

Here’s my first bluegill paint in a long time. Like I mentioned I suck at painting gills but I still enjoyed it. Hopefully the next one better but for now this should bet bit. Glide next

Thanks, I try to follow the same carving process from my other baits. And yea, I’m gonna make it into a glide too. Hopefully it has a nice action.

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback, hopefully I can paint something up soon. Getting that little air bubble out of there is something I'm still trying to fix. I have vents near the eye but it always ends up having a bubble lol. It's all part of the process.

Started the carving a while back but finally got around molding it this week. Made this the bait for the intention to fished in the local ponds. These ponds are loaded with gills so I went with the gill profile. For the first bait I made a wake, wakes tend to be easier to make, so I got a good action on the first try and got bit on it but it had my test tank hooks on so I didn't hook the fish lol. I’m gonna make a few adjustments and go out and test again. I’m gonna have to start practicing my gill paints soon because my bluegill paint sucks

Update: I tried painting the pickerel, total disaster lol. I used masking fluid for the first time and I didn't turn out how I expected. So I cleaned the paint off and painted a few of "blood line" trouts. Its a trout with a dark red vein, dark green top with a lot of silver on the body to create a lot flash in the water. I'm giving one of these away on my ig @build.a.bait.workshop I have the most recent swim vid on there too. thank you 5f2e107dc01c44059760df4c3c959c90.mov
