Hi Jimmy,
I’m curious where you get your blanks? That blank looks similar to a Rapala DT. And what do you think about the quality of the blanks? How would you say they compare to high quality, name-brand crank baits like Rapala?
Your paintings look like works of art.
Here’s where this blank came from. Great site and people to order from. I have never had a bad blank from here. They come with wrapped bills so I don’t have to mess with taping. Quality-wise, they’re every bit as solid as name branded baits. I have had exactly one bait come apart in possibly two hundred that I have painted and fish with and that one fell to a dogfish of about 12 pounds. I took a 44″ pike on one of the stick blanks they sell and it’s still in the box functional.
