I was told I couldn't make it.

I was challenged to make a fishing lure that looked like Nemo with all its fins, had hooks and could actually be used to catch a fish. After researching Nemo this is what I came up with. It is 3" long, floating wobbler. The right fin is smaller than the left fin.

Wow Garcia, challenge accepted and challenge annihilated, you did an amazing job. Is there any reason for the smaller fin? Since you mentioned it, I had to ask.

Lucky2, the smaller fin on one side is because Nemo himself has one smaller in in the movie.

 

Garcia - great job on accepting and more than fulfilling the challenge you were given. All the way down to the fine detail of the smaller fin. Looks just like Nemo. Now, when are you going to find and make Dory?

Garcia glad you did not let them tell you - a craftsman - that something could not be made.  Well done.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

I started a Facebook page on my journey into the custom painted crankbait world. This is my video library of the lures I paint. As I finish a new lure I will post pictures.I will also paint any color combination suggestions.
