Thanks Pete. All of them are painted. The minnos have a belly slit similar to a fluke. You can kind of see it in the clear baits. There is also a small hole from the nose leading into the belly slit so you can thread your line through and then tie your hook on. This makes it real easy to rig and the bait can slide up the line which inreases its life. BTW Mike got one when are you coming down?
