was thinking that pencil popper looked good before you painted it ,, spooks too ... I see big popper and whats the slope head ? darter attemt ? You'll catch on that pencil I bet ,,. I see large pouncing on that just as the sun peeks above the horizon .. no dought,,, Belly hook may be back a tad much but alot of good spook types (ballerina) have the belly hook back like that .. go walk it ,,,let us know .
