Title: Freestyle/Ripper combo
Post by: smalljaw on 11/23/18 16:30 UTC
In the link is a picture of the freestyle jig with a 3.5" ripper swimbait attached. The swimbait was made by ctom in his Sassafras color, it is a color that works well in my waters. I poured a 3/16oz freestyle jig using a 2/0 Owner 5313 hook and painted it in my own custom dark root beer color made with new penny, candy red, candy yellow and clear gloss. The 3D eye looks a little small but it isn't, it is a 3/16" diameter Fish Skull Real eye in the natural color which has some darker areas around the outside of the eye which is a perfect match for the paint color, go figure...LOL!!!  http://custombaits.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=3331

OK.
Looks fantastic!
Spend the summer building a new house for my eldest son and family and got them moved in this week!
Lots of work left for next summer.
In the meanwhile I've got a brand new freestyle and 3.5 ripper mold and some flat powder paint that I'm going to have to experiment with tomorrow.
Been almost 3 months since I've poured anything hope I remember how.
