Ok, not looking for an ego boost I just need some honest input on the colors. I’ve been wanting baby bluegills for pitching in the weed holes on post spawn walleyes for a long time. Finally found the blanks, so making my own. Occasionally when pulling in a mass of weeds, I’ll find baby gills that are about 1″ or so. Dome are pretty dark and what I would call full color. Other times, I get ones that are really pale in color.
So, I finally think I have a pair that are getting close to looking real. Haven’t done all the fine finishing with fins, eyes…just focusing on the body and tones.
Anything need to change before finishing? shot with and without flash – tilting these they change colors
