One more. It's hard to take a picture with all the reflection.

Take it off and it's clear plastic.

I got it painted. I went with another classic, blue back chrome side. I put the epoxy on after that picture so I'll post another one tomorrow when it dries. Sometime this weekend I'll throw it in the water and see how it does. I don't like the CD as a lure material after working on this one. I'm unable to shape the sides so it makes a blocky looking lure. I do like the holographic look it gives. If it catches em I'll have different opinion. Lol

I'm not sure I liked the CD material, epoxy doesn't like a sharp edge. It leaves a rough edge and I can't round off the CD enough for the epoxy to be smooth. I do like the reflection it gives though. I'm going to layer the cutting board material for a jerk bait or something, I like working with that material. The rattles inside sound great also. I'll see how it works in the water, I like to be able to form the shape better.
