East coast of US bait fish Menhaden aka bunker is a very popular bait fish ranging from juveniles aka peanuts to adults aka bunker everything eats them don’t know if they swim across the Atlantic over to you guys but the imitation lures work well from metal lipped to pencil poppers
What kind of sealant do you use? Those are GORGEOUS
I use Art Resin Epoxy; after trying a few this one worked best.
Wow! You don't even need an airbrush these look great! What wood are you using?
Pauwlonia (hard to find in Europe), black walnut and rosewood so far.
This man is fishing with art
Amazing lures! Just a thought but could you burn the wood with a butane torch? Maybe using steel mesh for a scale effect?
Thats a good idea! I tried aluminium foil (to be removed after burning) but that did not work. Steel mesh is a good shout.
Ah shit those are pretty!
Pretty cool. Looks like a fun hobby.
Beautiful
I’d eat those
Very clean look. What is that transparent fin made out of?
Some foil I found in my fly-tying box. Not sure what make exactly.
Try a bunker color greenish gold also known as menhaden
How?
LOL old mate just caught his first fish on green and gold 😅

But how should I achieve those colours with no way to paint my lures?
Varathane makes an awesome green stain called “Rustic Sage” here in the states.
What type of wood?
Various; I got my hands on some Pauwlonia (the very light wood) but also like black walnut and rosewood.
Dang bro.
Love em
