Just Foiling Around....

Decided to try messing with foil.....this was my 1st attempt and the foil came out pissah....paint job not so much .....I was trying my hand at masking too....gotta work on that a little bit more.


gonna throw this around some weed beds at a couple of local ponds at night and hope for Bass-Zilla to crush it.
