Not sure if they are close enough but White Bear Taxidermy has done some of the best work I have seen, and I have seen many. They have a website so you can see some of their work. Been in business for 37 years.
Yes Mudshark it is a very thin line, but the thing that gets me about this whole mess is the actions of both sides (Union said no on the first count and Merc stopped the eligible ballots on the recount at Midnight knowing they were not all cast). As a small business owner I can’t understand the Union voting themselves out of a job and I can’t see Merc hurting the people of FDL. There should be a moral line somewhere, IMO.
A product called Better Bait works well, any good bait shop can order it for you. It removes Chlorine,stimulates a natural slime coat, removes heavy metals and adds electrolytes. You still should change 1/3 of the water daily to keep down any ammonia buildup.
Don’t know if this is out of your way but they do excellent work, been in business for 37 years. White Bear Taxidermy – 651-429-3432. They have a great showroom so you can see the quality of their work. Ask for Mark.
If you can’t get the real deal you might try Baby Blue Eyes by Gitzit. They come in a variety of colors with one jighead and three bodies per pack. These baits are VERY lifelike.
