I've been custom painting muskie lures for about 5 years now and did some Rapalas for myself. I'm wondering if you guys that pull 3-ways would be interested in some custom #9's.
They would be mainly Pearl based with different color blushes on the sides with darker tops and heads. I'm looking at doing Mother of Pearl...kind of a pink blush, a purple pearl blush, a green pearl blush and maybe one Golden Shiner. I've got many #9's and would sell them in a 5-pak with one of each color that I do.
I just want to test the water to see if there is an interest for something different.
I've attached a pic of a Pink blush, and a pink side with a gray pearl top.
If you're interested, I'll post a pic this weekend of several colors that would be available.

I'll post more pics later. I paint in my garage, and it's 22 degrees and snowing like a mother out there.
I'll put up another post when I have samples of each color ready to go.

TRENT, if you fish rivers or plan to , you better start likeing three-ways with the use of floaters. i have caught more walleye on floating cranks than i have on jigs. on my home body of water [ LAKE MENDOTA ] I PULL THREE-WAYS RIGGED WITH FLOATERS IN 30-50 FOOT OF WATER, there isnt alot of other technics that you can use to fish this deep!!

Let me start this off by saying I know there are some others on this site who custom paint stick baits, but I've never seen their product and don't really know who they are, so in no way am I discounting the job they can do.
Now then, onto the reason for this post. I just recieved my order for custom painted raps from Beaver today, and I have to say they are a really fantastic job well done. They came to me with the exact same color scheme as what was in the photos he sent me by email.
I don't normally recommend product or services from someone unless I have first hand knowledge of it. Well, I haven't had the chance to use them yet but will very soon and I do recommend these painted baits by Beaver.
I hope this post is ok with the moderators.
thanks Beav
