The gouge is made by pfeil and the knife is a flexcut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TootsMalone Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Finished up a yellow perch for some testing at Lake Marion in SC. And the rest of the bodies are well on their way to paint. El_Weruso and CG_Fishes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TootsMalone Posted January 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 It’s been 7 months since these bodies have left the box i put them in back in June. A lot has changed since then. Built a garage/shop out of the carport attached to my house. Now there is a designated place to build, paint, design and test baits. Oh and finish this box of 4 piece swimbaits. Painted 2 of the 6 bodies that passed inspection in a Golden Shiner pattern with gold/green color shift paint.

TootsMalone Posted January 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 The next 2 will more than likely be a pumpkinseed pattern using a light blue/green color shift. The last two are undecided. Also planning on shooting my clears from here on out. Dipping with this much detail in the carving is just giving an unmanageable amount of bubbles.
