    Wow. Excellent job. I tried it before and found out I have no talent for it.

    Do the Finding Nemo baits catch fish? Nice job they look good.

    Thank You all for the comments. I've been mostly re-painting old lures but I have a bunch of blanks now to do.

    Great looking lures, how do the lips hold up when painted.

    I double dip the whole bait in KBS Diamond Coat. I haven't fished any of them yet but I think they'll hold up fine.

    I know for a fact there aren't any Clown fish in the lakes around here so it'll be something the fish have never seen.
