OH yea that will take a few eyes for sure. My best spoon ever is the chicken wing, I have them by Stinger and in a super slim spoon. I'm going to make that color on a bigger spoon like NK or something to that size

I'll 2nd the above poster. I've been at it with a airbrush, I'm getting the knack of the base colors so that the rest of the colors work together. But your work is amazing to say the least. The hardner and clear coat is amazing also!! Congrats to your effort put forth. Keep us posted. One other thing is the bill made out of what they call circuit board material? Very nicely incorporated in to the lure.

Those split back rebels were the go to lures up in Canada back in the late 70's when I made by first trip to Quebec just above Maniwaki, used to be owned by an old Frenchman. Boy to go back to those days knowing what I do know.

My daughter caught her first eye in the Black River basin on a purple hot & tot and a nice one at that.p

Excellent body profile, not to mention the knock out paint scene, I wish you you the best, as it's not an overnight deal to make a functioning lure. Lots of ups and downs till totally satisfied!!

I'm nosy LOL I have my radio on scan at all times unless I drop to lower channel for info, but that's gone to the wayside since cell phones

Save your breath guys, so called experience trumps sceince I'm out.

Most fish see in color, the retina of a fishes eye contain two types of cells, rods and cones. The cones are used for day vision and are the cells that see color. Rods are used for night vision and cannot distinguish colors, although they can see light intensity. In most "freshwater" fish, the eyes proscess both rods and cones, night feeder like walleye that live in greater depths have more rods. Day feeders bass, trout, salmon are more sensitive to color than night feeders. They have done studies that rainbows in the Pacific and salmon have color vision like humans. Now our brown trout are capable of sharply focusing on near and far objects at the same time and clearly see differant colors at differant distances. To see what fish can see or can't, I use this site for info. www.seagrant.wisc.edu . Selecting Lure Colors for Successful Fishing - Wisconsin Sea Grant.

2 years ago I blew a lower unit, while having a kicker I managed to get to where I could see land and what looked like a dock, as we got closer at a mere 3.5 mph I saw a guy jump off his lawn mower and wave us over. From there he took us back to our campsite where I grabbed my truck and trailer and headed back to his house, we got the boat out but I'm sure glad he insisted to hook onto my trailer and pull us out, I mean this went up hard. Then he dropped my trailer and I hooked to it. He wouln't take no money, as a few years ago he broke down and 2 guys from Pa. Towed him over a hour&half to his dock, and if he could ever return the favor he would. Just so happened we were the first and from Pa. that he could return the favor. I have dropped from fishing to tow a few boats already, not only on LakeO but in Canada and in Pa. I'm truely floored by the selfishness said on here!! I guess the hell with you attitude and hurray for me attitude even applies to helping out a stranded fisherman also. My god what's this world come to??

I'd go with a Snap On they put righty tighty--lefty loosy if ya forget.

Your absolutely correct, as I say in my original post!!

Like I said, then there's that fluke that totally blows everything we thought right out of the water. .

Man you guys are stacking them up!! keep at em guys love the pics!!

oops 2dbl posted

I think I worded myself wrong, about no visible light, I ment it to be enough visible white light to keep the color sceme's to stay at the colors they are as we know them. Water acts as a selective filter, it filters out one by one as the light descends, it's gradual. Most of the red is gone from the light, at 5ft. Some of the Orange is gone in the first 10ft. Less of yellow is lost at 10ft. At 25ft most of the orange is gone. At 35 most of the yellow is gone. This continues through the spectrum until all is left is violet light and that fades out after hundreds of feet. Ok so if we swim down 30 ft and take a picture most objects would appear blue, green, violet and/ or black. Neon colors don't loose their colors like spectrum colors. Ultraviolet is found after violet, which is invisable to humans. Like violet it go to extreme depths, when a neon color is hit by the invisible ultraviolet it glows or "fluoresces" the more foreign products are in the water, mineral, algae, pollen, water fleas, things change. Sometimes for the better. I think I came across as the water, light was gone as in black. Sometime we forget that everyone is on deck with whatever ones talking about.
