Started these Friday, finished two of them last night. Working on two more of the same size right now, going with a baby bass pattern on them.

Thanks guys. I am working on finishing up 2 more in "baby bass," then want to do 2 more in a shad coloration.

No, I haven't tried the CCG Hydro, what type of product is that? Is it another UV cure adhesive or is it a top coat?

its a UV adhesive, but thinner than sally hansens and hard as hull, but it is used as a top coat and it is tack free, i used it on some pencil poppers i will post up here soon. they have a lot of demos on the ccg site.

That is awesome. Bass are gonna kill those things rather they've ever seen a trout or not :lol: .

Can I ask why you used a flat face instead of a cupped one?
If you are more stubborn than a largemouth, then you'll catch more stubborn largemouth.

Flat faced poppers cast easier and make a great pop. I dig sir.
