Don't get to post much anymore - always working or doing something that seems "more important" :roll:

Started painting crank baits awhile back and doing some bass fishing - even fishing a bass tournament this weekend (sure warms Tincan's heart I'm sure :lol: )

Best bass on one - it was as long around as thick lol

Those look great. You definately have a gift. What are you using for clear coat if you don't mind me asking.

awesome Chalk. Good to hear from you! Glad to see you're doing well.

Where are you able to buy unpainted lures?
Is the L&B yours?

Bought the blanks from various places - predatorbass and bustinbass - have repainted some old baits too.

Yes - traded the Big O for the Lake & Bay last spring spent all summer rebuilding it - still rebuilding it :roll: :lol:

Pretty work, Chalk, pretty work. And they catch fish too. You should go into production in your spare time. :wink: Good luck with the bass tourney.

And as far as the L&B, remember, it's a boat. Considering renaming mine Blank Check.

Chalk, those are nice. Like the scale patterned ones, and the red one with the bass looks like what we called a mudbug. Keep up the good work. :D
