First try

Recommended Posts

Well here goes!

 

These are my first attempt at tying for saltwater.

 

A long way from perfect I know, but I was reasonably pleased with the outcome.

 

Any comments/criticism welcomed (be gentle!!!!)

Those are fish catchers IMO.

 

Also IMO the one on the second pic is the best one.

 

I would only use a black permanent marker on the top of the head to darken it and would add a red gash for gills (also with a permanent marker... thin one though) on both sides.

 

Did you use silicone or epoxy?

I used epoxy - another first.

 

It was going off in less than 2 minutes so necessary to work real quick. I was using Araldite 5 minute - maybe another brand will be better.

Very nice fish catchers! Would never know they were your first. All you need are a few highlights.
