NICE

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

swap? lol no way man, I wouldn't even sell them. They take me way too long to make. I would be willing to paint one of yours for you though, for free of course. I'm not out to make money, I just enjoy making and painting fish.

Right now the lure is just coated with a thick layer of house of kolor clear with micro flake. I was thinking of using aristicrat but i have never used it before so I don't want to ruin my plug that took me so long to make.

The reason we make baby rainbows is because out here in the west all of our lakes are stocked with trout and the big stripers and Large mouths love them little stockers. This is the same story for the big rainbows and Browns in the higher elevation lakes. This particular plug in this thread was made to mimic the baby rainbows in the high country as they have brighter coloring. Stockers are more plain in color.

How long does it take you to paint that plug?
