Went to catching fish on it right after putting split rings and hooks on it.
They swim great! And look like a real shad in the water, and I had fun painting them. Only got to use em once before it got too cold. And, didnt catch anything. But didnt get any bites on anything else that day either. The bass go virtually dormant this far north by early September sometimes.
I am still getting things together to paint my first lure, but the quality of the blanks received seems top notch.
The boxes were great and I need to buy more.
