Muskie Baits paint & tape

I already know that this should have started about a month ago , but as the world turns this is reality.  We all do the best we can for the time we have . So as a quick note, these are a few I was able to get paint on in 92 degree, 58% humidity weather, it's always fun. 

These musky baits all have tape on them, the new chrome and gold tape is fantastic. This new tape is a lot thinner than the colored tape, and really lays down nice. It has the best flash that I have seen to date.

There are four baits ready for clear in the pics and the others with a white top and belly are ready for color.

When  using the prism tape just remember, tape will not adhere to curves, keep it tight. If it buckles, bulges or creases it will be that way when it's finished. Any open or lifted edge will not work well in the end.

Frank, did a great looking hot perch and maybe he will pull it from the vault and share some pics. You can add it in here, if you would Frank.

I am not a photographer, as you can tell from the pics, but this tape is the ultimate if you are looking for flash. In solids or prism , you could not go wrong with using it.

There were a couple of memory lapses getting started , but I think we will get it on a roll quick enough.

 I not sure, but we may have lost Al to back problems and Tom finished all but three of his baits already.

So it appears that Frank and I are the slackers!

A little side note to all of this , we will be fishing dark water this year. A Canadian trip is out of the question for me . So the Great Lakes , Green bay is what are intent is, hence the hot colors, rattles and flash that will be created. You would be lucky to see something 2'-0" below the surface.

I wish they had  Zander in the Great Lakes, they get huge.
