Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Slapped a little paint on this 1 3/8" goody.
These came as unpainted baits, left to the fisherman to decorate.
I modeled it after the little "Crickhopper," from Rebel.
It has a DayGlo orange belly, yellow sides and red brown top sides.
The eyes are fabric "puffy paint" and the detail highlights are the result of a little trick I use:
I just dip a small piece of sponge in paint and dab it here or there to give a "textured" look.
The whole thing is finished with several sealer costs of gloss.
I reckon it'll work, right?

   Looks very good Scruffy.... you have the paint jobs downpat

Hmmm, yes.
These have eye sockets, which really need filling. But, they're not round.
A pin would look odd. A round peg in an oval hole.

Yet I could partially fill the socket with the puffy paint, and insert the pin into a pre-drilled hole.
Nice idea.
Yep I'll have a box of em by next season!

neat looking hopper David;; another trick for eyes is using those colored pins;;

And yes, I got a lot of reaction from these small crankbait a this season.
I'm just sorry I didn't start using them sooner.
