A Couple Different Colors
Here is a few different color patterns done on some Brute paddletail bodies.
I am always impressed on how changing something simple on a paint pattern can completely change the overall look of a bait. Many times the changes are not drastic changes, just a minor change but it makes a major change to the finished look and makes me say......"Why didn't I think of that"
Here's one example.....
The only change on the 2 iridescent perch patterns below was..... instead of making the head black, it was done in orange at the customers request. It really brightens up the pattern and makes it much bolder......with muskies being muskies (and pike too for that matter) many times like something bold and bright.
Looks pretty good I think..

New Generation of Custom Paint
Here's a photo of some 10" PW shad bodies I did for a Norwegian friend.. These custom paint jobs were patterned after a well known American bait makers paint work, as per the buyers request. This is the first time I've seen some of these techniques used on a soft plastic bait. They are normally reserved for use on some of the finest handmade custom hard baits.
On a side note for you folks that may be interested in getting something done in one of these patterns of something close to it.......these paint jobs take so much time and effort that the cost to do them is much more expensive than my usual painting cost........but if your interested you can email me for a price quote.
