Looking very fishy, nice job with on the paint with a spray can. I have dabbled a bit in making plugs,I know what you mean about the time issue. It finally makes sense to just buy them but it's still fun to make one yourself and fool a fish to bite your own creation. I have had a hard time with the paint job myself, yours looks real good.

What hooks do you have on the bait, if you don't mind?
