The fish will definitely be chewing on those. You are doing awesome work with that Dremmel tool. You might consider taking a small drill bit and putting in the eye socket on some of those. Then you can do like I do sometime and drip hot black into the eye socket before adding the other colors. I did that with some of my aluminum molds. Here is an example.



I know that if I took those Brown and Orange ones to Lake Erie that the Walleye and Browns fan's favorite fish (Smallmouth) would be all over that color. I was one of the original members of the DAWG POUND (At the age of 10) and I still love my Cleveland Browns 62 years later. I can't wait to see what you will do when you start injecting aluminum molds. I am sure you will be modifying those also with your Dremmel tools.

I think these crankbaits will work well in the shadow box. Thank you for posting the photos on this thread http://www.crappie.com/crappie/good-...evin-galliher/

Was that spinning reel in the picture included in the deal?


Thanks again my friend. I sent you a PM with the address.
