Here is the black cherry color over chartreuse x2 mixed heavy to get it opaque. I added just a hint of red hi lite to the cherry and that made all the difference in the world as far as internal light reflection goes.



I've been getting some inquiries at my own site about these and have decided to call these Eelz and Baby Eelz. The smaller version is right in line with crappie-sized baits and measures just a pinch under 1 7/8".

Not sure but I think this might interest you CTOM. Find a razor blade like this with holes. Line up multiple blades spaced by washers to desired width and put two nuts and bolts through them. You can set it down on the tube and cut it in a vice with a thin piece of wood on both sides. Cheap and makes a perfect even tube cut every time.

If I was going to do a ton of these bauits I'd sure as heck have to look at doing the cutting different from how I do it now.

Thanks for the link 412.
