Here is my first try. I had a few flaws but I really had fun at this. Looks like I may have a new hobby  ;D

Pretty darned nice. Good looking baits there. Now go fish them and get the approval of a bass.

I was told to let them "Cure" in a closed bowl with my craw scent for about a week first... Does that sound right?

If that craw scent isn't cooked into the plastic, it won't matter either way. Put them in the fridge for a day to cure them. They should be laid out flat to cure anyway.

Yeah. I kinda forgot to add the craw scent and worm oil  ???

Those will catch fish without ant scent, however the nice thing about this hobby is that you get to do it your way!  Nice baits. Now your hooked! :o

Not bad at all for your first try I have some similar baits with the skirts. I have only been hand injeting for about 8 months and I love it. Now I have friends asking for baits and I had a tackle store today ask me for a catalogue.

Thank you all for your support. Bass in the hood, that's where I wanna be. Im trying to get places around me to sell my stuff, but they all say the same thing, either they don't do consignment's or they are already full of tackle.
I have been airbrushing for about 6 months now and doing the crankbaits is pretty fun, they sell like hotcakes, lol. Im hoping my plastic lures will catch on soon. Not sure on what to sell them for, I just threw up a price for now, If anyone offers a lower price that's not too low, I'll probably take it. Im not really doing this to make money, just to have fun. which I am having fun doing it.
