you first timers sure put me to shame. Those look great teaser.
I could suggest on those squid plugs, try drilling your thru wire hole out the side a little from the front (like an Atom reverse) and see how they work then , I think you'll like the results.
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.

Very nice work
Great! That color scheme is right on. Maybe try a long hackle siwash in mottled beige/dull pink as well?
Good health and family

Thumbs up i love them...
the color is right on.... i have this theory that a certain shaped head gives
off either a pattern of micro bubbles ,waves (vibrations) that fish pick up on...
and your current retrieve activates it...

i like this one cuz of the red in it... i think it's most Pissah

Talking
WOW!

I'm glad everyone liked them!
Thank you for the kind words, it means alot to me!

I am going to try the suggestions I got and see how they work, I guess this means I have the seal of approval from the masters.

These are not done by airbrush, just rattlecans for now.
I am pretty good with an airbrush and can't wait to experiment on some later but for now it's just trying to find the right colors that I think will work.

Raven, the one you like is done with a red base paint then shot with black along the edges and finished off with the gold to green paint I bought at M&D's this past weekend, nice guy that Mike!

Hope to have some other plugs later, made a copy of a needle as you can see in the pic, I try to learn from the masters.

I found out, keep my mouth shut, my ears open ... and I will learn!
This has been my daily motto since my dad 1st started me on this sickness called "fishing".

Thanks again guys! <--- That's me grinning from era to ear!
Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
