Just painted these, they aren't done yet, but its something different, for me. I've got two more that I haven't painted yet, those will be more "fishy" lookin.

Different design, cool looking. Are these DR weights? Like to see your other paint jobs.

No, these are carved out of balsa, about 6" long. Similar ones were/are apparently used for ice or spear fishing as decoys. These are not weighted or balanced and I have no idea of the position they would float, just made them for fun, don't know what I'll do with them. That is an awesome idea for DR weights!! You would have to make sure they track straight tho (I just gave away like 50+ lbs of lead ... DOH!)
