Freehand with a 00 brush.. and a good one at that.. that is where cheeeep won't work. And you have to know that dot is Scott and Maachuu's secret I can't divulge..

I'd fish with it.

Pank is what I was lookin for too.. What about this? Keep in mind none of them have had the final gloss coat.

I'm voting for the Pank, except a little hotter - maybe the top coat will make it pop a little more???? And I'd add a black stripe down the back.

You have my address to ship the freebie to for winning.

Do you mean narrow stripe and on top of the yellow, kinda like the gill?
By the By, I mixed that paint according to my wife Mary's instructions.
I'll have to go back and see if she can get it a little hotter...

Not experienced enough to know if the top coat will make it come out more...most I've seen of ya'lls work it really does make a big difference, but to my eye right now, it looks a little dull or pastel in color. Just me, but I tend towards the brighter shades...dunno...but I know the top coat on others ya'll have posted really come to life when done.

Yeah, a thin strip down the back to give it contrast when it wobbles.

Great looking lure,might would paint the pank just a little darker on the sides just MO, it still is a good looking lure. I would pull it reguardless of any opinions you might get.

That looks like Barlow crankbaits, is it ? also I see the blue eye you have in it, what size is that eye ?

thanks

Hotter Pank, stripe down back.. now what??
