Painted and Finished

It took a while but they are finished. All are pearl paints with Devcon 2 coating.

Finished weights.

The Fat Boys are 2.25 oz

The others are 2oz.

Hope you like them.

I like those tails too
interesting shape

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.

Glad you like the Devo Heads,,, I painted the Sparklescent red and pearl white ones just for that.... Since it was brought up when I showed the pictures of them primed,,,, May as well have some fun....

The eel Color obviously we all know that one.. Overall a very close resemblance.

I call them whips....

I weighed them on a small digital scale... I made them that heavy for wind and current...

I have done particularly well with heavy plugs in the wind and big water. The heavy ones just happened to get finished first. Other colors in the works.

I have some other bodies turned that need to be finished that will be around 1 1/2 oz total.. Much Lighter...

Fat boys are 6 inches long and the thinner ones are 5 1/2... Longer ones still in testing...

oh ,,,ok,,, How are they weighted..

They are in the tail moving forward the length of the weights... The ones with the belly hooks and eyes have weights in the same position forward of the belly hook .. The ones without the belly hook have a slightly larger weight to keep them swimming properly...
