Custom painted
I recently got a call from someone who fishes as an amateur in New England who I am good friends with and needed to get a bait that looked like a Dace...this is what I cooked up for him..I believe the tourney is this weekend..This was my first attempt..it should really come to life once the finish goes on...

Vegas, not sure i understand your question. I ship them with S.S. split rings that I get from a local machinist...swivel is preference..I personally tie directly to the ring, but I fish with a lot of guys who use snaps on their crankin' rods to quickly swap out lures

Wow, nice work man! That dace is right on, and the blood spatter is just right.
Can you make me a popper that looks like Marlyn Monroe?

The lure looks great, and I think your splatter looks fine.....I like using a Popsicle stick for any design I paint that has a splatter, but a stiff bristle brush will also work to flip some paint onto whatever your painting. I think I have better control using the Popsicle stick.
