Bluegills that used to sink... Now a topwater
« on: 12/06/14 18:31 UTC »
I dissected these sinking baits, removed weight to make these stay just at the surface.... Painted them to match my idea of a Bluegill... I think they came out pretty good for just a guy that makes blade baits...  :P

Trying some different paint and colors. None of these are clear coated yet.
