The two in the bottom picture at the bottom of the 4 are about as life-like as one can get. Nice work.

Nice work. What is the best topcoat for you so far?

They swim like this in the video when strait retrieved. They walk under water when twitched like a Jackall Giron.  I remove weight and make these topwaters that will swim and walk as well.

I'm liking the MCU after the learning curve.  http://www.kbs-coatings.com/DiamondFinish-Clear.html

I read where Dakota said to use the mcu on them. 
I been dying to order some. But I'm not very good at painting gills yet.  But. After seeing all the videos and and seeing yours. They should be here in couple days.  Thanks for the videos.
