Title: Let's See Your Work
Post by: Cheetam on May 02, 2008, 04:22:29 PM
Let's start a separate thread with photos of our work...I'll go first  ;D  The first couple are for personal use (the goby pattern is still a work in progress and actually started out as a completely different species of baitfish...lol) and the jerkbaits were going to be for personal use, but I have decided to donate them to Dan to be used as door prizes at the DK Open tomorrow...

I didn't know it was a competition Benny :D...I've seen pictures of the fish you've caught on your baits Benny, mine haven't felt a drop of water yet...you must be doing something right!

No competition at all, just a good compliment on your work. Will save the competition for the tourneys. See ya at the Kent Open at the end of the month.

I had taken some pictures, but I don't see them on my laptop.  I might have left them on the camera.  I'll look tonight.  However, I did find this photo of the original batch you made (which I have...:-))

A couple new baits I did this week...just waiting on a clear coat.  Man this is fun!

did you ever consider a  "' Cheetam / Mccarter / Barrows "  color.  I would Imagine the colors  Amber ( beer ),  with black splotches ( Kodiak Chew Spit ) color. 
Might even replace Sexy Shad as the new hot bait.

No, but I am trying to figure out how to incorporate the half a senko into one of my baits.  How much to use your patent?

Beautiful work!  I love the detail on the bluegill...very sharp!  Do you sell on eBay?  Your name looks familiar for some reason...
