***PLEASE NOTE***
in this, the first post
The description of each piece is BELOW the picture.


I call this the KopKar.
A Tamiron #2 black nickel honeybee, supplied with the white. 
I added the dots of purple, and green.  I've also been playing with dots of other colors.
Top:
Honeybee small nickel blank with white tape overlaid with green, pink, and a glow eye.
Bottom:
Honeybee MP6 nickel blank with white tape retro silver and green.  Glow eye.







Top: 
Honeybee MP6 copper blank.  Bottom half is Tamiron Retro Green, top is green, glitter green on tail, glitter yellow, glitter pink, glow eye.
Bottom:
Honeybee small copper blank, retro green, pink stripe,
 glow eye.
Lemon Twist: Honeybee small nickel blank, covered with Tamiron Retro Yellow, then framed with Tamiron Bright Pink and a glow eye.  The back is Tamiron White.
This lure is "my replacement" for the Lemon Honeybee that comes with a hot pink head and tail.  I threw a twist on it.


I'm not sure I yet want to discuss this pattern as I'm not real happy with it.  I'll call it my alewife "prototype".

The top pic was taken without flash, the bottom was with flash...hmmm
I think I need to work it over a bit!

I was inspired by "Salmoneye" to put these two together.
Heck, he's one of the most creative individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting.
Top lure: Gin & Tonic with a Twist
Started out as a #2 Honeybee, black and white KopKar.  I covered the black with Tamiron Chartreuse, overlaid with retro yellow and overlaid a narrow strip of retro green.
To finish, a dot of Retro Red and a glow eye.
The back side is pearl white.
Bottom lure:
Tamiron MP6 brass Blank
Tamiron Kelly Green tape and Bright Orange.
Glow eye.

Fish on, fish H8 me.
