what sort of paint does he put through the airbrush? Does the paint job have a clear coat over the top?

Also, can you tell me where the small metal circle thing on the front of your popper came from? (The part where the towing point will emerge from) I am looking for something like this for my home made lures.

Thanks

Well done mate. Have you made them from wood or cast them from some Composite?

Like the artwork.
