Thanks Ronnie I appreciate that! I make a point of fishing the crap out of a plug too before I offer any up! Just want to make sure they do what I made them to do!

Here are a few pics of early "Prey" testing! Naked plug, no paint, no eyes.....just testing the action! I was pounding fish in the 10-15 pound range all afternoon this day......bass and blues! I was pleased with the action, the fish seemed to like them as they were literally following the plug in and attacking with massive strikes! I was laughing like a school girl I was so happy with them! So paint came next and I continued testing them with the fish! I fished that naked "Prey" all afternoon......no colors and no paint! This might go to show you that the paint is indeed (in many instances) for the fishermen! The fish as I have always believed are interested in the action of the plug a high percentage of the time!

Nice pics of those naked lures! I am new and have tried to take in all the advice I have been given. I did test my first batch before paint in about 20 degree weather casting between sheets of ice! Lucky for me they worked the way they were supposed to. Didn't do as much testing as I wanted because i was freezing, but none the less i saw how they swam before I made them look pretty.

So with women this applies as well? It's the motion not the body or the paint job? I dunno....
