Thanks guy's, I do all my Musky fishing right here in Wisconsin, some locally and some in the beautiful, peaceful North woods. A lot of the water there is Gin clear spring fed or glacial lakes. Those fish tend to stay a little deeper and have no problems seeing anything near them, thats one of the reasons for the detail, the other is that I enjoy doing it. I don't always paint natural styles because as with any other fish, chartreuse, black, flo-orange and many other colors can be the hot ticket on any given day. Heres one painted in a "match the hatch" creek chub pattern ( a real creek chub, ha ha )

Yeah, I've been a fan for awhile.... How about a couple enlightening threads for us. One on the resin process, and one on some of those sick paint details..... Puleessse?

Very nice

Just beautiful, what type of weight do you end up with using resin? Are they solid? Can the weight be adjusted using some sort of micro balloon/filler type product, do you weight them with additional lead placed strategically to alter their swimming action?

ProfessorM you are too modest your work is outstanding!
