Pretty mad skills there Bro', good looking stuff for sure.  Welcome aboard, but just be aware... Denny doesn't take well to "show offs", but I could care less if you post that kinda stuff on a daily basis.  He'll just have to deal with it.   ;)

Very nice tubes.

If I had to do only one plastic bait...it would be a tube.

I think your color combinations are awesome. I love blended color schemes.

More than anything though, I really find the natural wood formatting incredible. Baits shown on wood just come to life.

Great colors!  I did some Motor Oil/orange tail tubes and ribbon tail worms and it's a great color combo as well.  Nailed a 17" smallie the other day with one of the worms, lost another that felt about the same size.  Have to get the tubes some water time yet.  Back "up north" tomorrow for the rest of the week.
