    Posted: 23 Sep 2012 at 4:02pm
Been playing with a few requests from the expo,
 For one I was asked to do 2 sets the same for a presentation at a bass event out at BP Dam MURGON,
I was requested to do two of my bassnax in a black and white theme, and 2 matching surface walkers.
 
 
Next request for the same event was for a surface paddler, and to just do something different...whatever i liked!....so I thought id have a go at a few feathers, and play around......still a lot of room for improvement for me on this, but Im happy enough with these 2 for my first go.....the old plymouth rock hen down the back was a bit peeved with me thoughSmile
 I just hope the recipients  at the presentation are happy with what they recieve.
 
thanks for looking
Jas

Gotta be happy with the top-moth, as John said the eyes look great and as always with a Nicho lure I bet the fish pay them plenty of attention.

thanks guys.......red i will check that out mate...thanks
appreciate the feedback.
 
thanks john,
the feathers seemed to fit nicely between the eyes, just need to get a more natural look, bit squared off for my liking.
 
cheers poolie, the bassnax is my favourite by far.

no worries rick....pm sent mate....will be a bit of a wait though!!Smile
 
thanks steiny......seen pete hazmail do the feathers(stunning) and wanted to try it..... but Ive still got  lots of room for improvement ....tried other ways roughly, and can see improvements to date, so i think the next lot will be nicer........got bass and cod on one a few weeks ago so the fish like them, the improvements will only be to satisfy myselfThumbs Up
black n white does it for me too mate.
though the fish seem to like bassnax in  any color.
cheers
