flytire 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2020 well i'm no michaelangelo when it comes to creative painting but i had a go at a baby bass i can see the back needs to be a little darker green and positioning the underbody forms closer to the hook eye i added a little dubbing at the ass end to cover the marabou tie in wraps sorry if you dont like it but i'll bet mr big bass might 👍 underbody Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2020 You could try sponge printing the texture on there. It's easy, fun and it looks professional even if it's not. Still a nice looking fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2020 I agree, I think the color is pretty darn close. Being something less than a fledgling Michaelangelo myself, I see nothing wrong with the paint job. The paint job is not going to make it not catch fish, or something like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cphubert 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2020 Norm, what did you use for the underbody? I think the paint is fine, looks like a fun addition to tying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They should fish nice and they look plenty good, they may represent LM 2nd favorite food, after worm like meals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
