yes........color/ lrg.spray can & air brush

kilz primer.....lrg.spray can/brush...........spray can is much better
brushing it on doesn't work all that well. you wind up having to sand alot more to get it smooth.

how do the reverse atom copies swim? i was thinking of trying to duplicate that pattern. did you have to weight it to get it to ride like the originals?

MR>T......I just made that last night. I think the mahogony is going to be way to heavy for those, should be made with cedar. then put some lead in her butt. those need to stand upright when sitting in the water.

Why do they need to stand upright in the water?

I just made some p-40 copies and used red cedar and put shot in the front chin area, they swim great. The ones I made with heavy stock did not wag at all.

SLIP_SLIP _SLIP

The way I fish these critters is 1st , tossem out, note how they sit in the water,1 quick flick of the rod tip, they come outta the water almost straight up , then settle back again, quick fick, an up she pops . just like she trying ta get away from something down below. my understanding is they should work in a up/down up/down thinge an not something that just slides across the top of the water. they do work very well

my nose isn't growing at all/this is how we old f*rts fish these,really, no bs.
