Very nice I have some old ones from Oznavad.he did a sckool bus pattern I love.I did some myself u have to be carefull wit the epoxy it seems to make em too heavey an they never really caught as well as the originals.I think the added weight just slightly changed the action.Next time i do some I'm gonna just use clear paint to coat em.

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

i was a bit concerned about the epoxy messing with the action. I went light with it......and didn't put any on the nose. i think the dimple above the eye has a big impact on the action.

You really have to load up the epoxy to mess up the action. A light coat will be just fine.

my goto store bought plug too but my two colors are grey ghost and the natural mullet one with the death triangles on the tail
catches fish like there's no tomorrow

did this for a friend, all of them were new. two were still in the box
the top one was a green mac and the other three were the orange red. Interesting that three had chamelion lilac on the belly and one was just grey. I've bought some before knowing there was something different about them.
taking the paint off was a PIA.......especially all the detail work in the front...........tried using these red scotchbrite wheels mounted on a bench grinder we have at work. took off the plastic with the paint.
plan B was the hard way of scraping most off with a knife, getting the rest with acetone.
