    Default Balsa topwaters

    Some of you know I've been working on some balsa topwater flies. I was asked to post a few pictures, so here they are:

    I also did a few divers, and some smaller biats as well:

    Hi Buddy, the artist in you is showing, very nicely done.

    What sizes are the small squarish ones, are they bluegill size like a #12?

    Thanks and regards,

    Gandolf

    Buddy,

    Those are nice! Have you had a chance to fish them?

    Nice job. If you don't mind a question, how are you painting them and what kind of paint are you using? I'm guessing from the looks of them you're spraying an enamel.

    Thanks Buddy, Good timing
    I'm doing some cork poppers and sneaky petes for the club raffle
    The base coats of paint are on and today is the day to decorate
    I've been looking for ideas...... didn't have to go too far
    How did you do the splatter pattern on the smallmouth?

    So far mine have an epoxy base and two coats of Testors
