Holographic/Laser finishes
On many of the Japanese wooden salt water plugs for Tuna/GT I have seen some awesome Holographic/Laser finishes. I am assuming they are some sort of film or foil applied to the plugs. Anyone know anything about these finishes? I'd love to try them.

These are what got me thinking. These are wood! The shape is very close to what I've been using for years (liberally plageurized from Super Strike). However the metalic finish is at another level to anything I've seen. I've got plenty of turned , primed bodies ready to play with. Plus I think this finish on a 6" needle would be great for SBFT.
Andy, thanks, good to see you remember.
