Thanks comments, i have used and made lures in past with similar concept, found at times during certain specific hunting techniques,particularly with big trout,but also pike and perch, they will charge into shoals of prey then pick off the wounded or stunned. I also at one time used to make a ground bait mix with real scales added ,to spice up area around a static bait with gently sinking scales ! Also regarding fuglies art, i like the look of wounded looking baits with slash wounds. Best i ever seen was slashed foil version. Was never able to find the pic of one i liked best again. Did wonder if it was made by who i now know is fugly ?

A lot of makers pain under the very end of the tail red as this makes it look like the tail is damaged. But I read (years ago and cannot remember who) somebody who paints this area green and gets more hits. Maybe it had something to do with colour changes as the lure goes deeper?

ive put the bite on other peoples foiled lures Glider but never done a slashed foil of my own,i think the luremaker your after is a Finnish bloke called Petri Muuttoranta,he is actually a member on here(piatu) but has'nt posted for a while.Petri does some fantastic realistic lures with real fishskin with bites out of them you can probably find him on facebook. Ilike your damaged scale effects but i think if you added some gills with blood oozing out it'd add even more to the effect,mind you those lures look pretty bloody good anywayThumbs Up

Cheers pugllee, you cleared up 1 point,his small fish with bites out was one i had been looking for to show buddy,which i thought may have been your work. Not slash wounds like his though. I do some slashed foils for a buddy,various styles ,but bearing in mind my lures are only for fishing, its got to be practical time wise. Just that 1 pattern always stuck in my mind from couple of years ago (rose tinted specs?) Seen some of your artwork and thought maybe you were responsible. Thanks,glider...
