-some tail wraps look good, others look like I've never seen one before
-painted over some scales by mistake (there is a one side scaled plug)

WOW

I think you are being too hard on yourself the these guys

sounds like correctable mistakes
a good craftsman knows how to fix his mistakes,remember that

Clear coat....just to sumrise I've had good success with it so far....it makes my crappy paint jobs, mismatched grommets, and warped tail loops look much better.
I'm going out to test swim a bunch of metal lips right now and hopefully they don't come in like buzz baits....they look good though Out of about 50 or so plugs I'll have maybe 15-20 worthy of gifting out if I'm lucky.....

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

"WOW you're being hard on yourself"

You're right, thats why I leave all the blemishes (no nail polish or sharpie repairs). I want to see the mistakes again and again so as not to forget and repeat the same mistakes. you would think I have two hooves instead of hands.
