Very nice work Drew. I've often wanted to try my hand at the hard baits but I don't have enough time for the things I do now... Do you use Createx on your hard baits?

Thanks guys, Justin it better look good it's yours lol

Yea bud I use Createx on anything I can lol, thinking about doing some ghost flames on my white abu combo haha.

Hopefully if I can find the perfect clamshells I will be selling these to more than just close friends/family. Thinking about doing a crank, spinnerbait, swim jig and a bag of plastics all airbrushed to match and sell it as a combo on ebay just to see what I can get out of it.

The spinnerbait and swim jig would be in the ultra minnow, thinking 1/2oz spinnerbait w/ 5/0 hook then 1/4oz jig w 4/0 hook both matching paint/skirts the willow on the spinnerbait would be painted to match then the plastics would be 6 3.5 swim shads painted to match w/chart tails.

Cant begin to think what I would charge for something like that. That is a ton of work.

My cranks I sell for $8
Spinnerbaits are $10 (the swivels are almost $1/ea)
Jig would be $6
Never priced/sold painted plastics.

It would be expensive.

Crankbait looks like an excellent bait...with right trebles, I bet it's a wicked fish producer.

Seems that the interest is really there, if you are interested in some custom work give me a call. If you do not have my contact info, shoot me a PM and I will get back with you as soon as I can.

I will be painting 9 cranks for CCM members so far and don't forget, I love to barter  ;) 8)

Thanks again all,

Drew

That may be the best bluegill pattern I have seen. Great job.
