Freshwater fish, fishing tackle, bass boat

FSMCDesigns

My Dad is a huge fan of fishing, does the tournaments, whole nine yards. Was working on some fathers day images and realized how little there is in the way of fishing gear and such. I had to model a lot of my own props for the images I did, but I suck at rigging, so I thought with over 30 million fishermen in the United States I would throw this suggestion out there for any experienced PAs looking for a project.

I figure it could be a 3 package deal. A fresh water fish package with detailed rigged IRAY versions of largemouth bass, smallmouth, white bass, perch, shad, bluegill,  crappie, catfish, minnows, maybe even gar and carp. Then a tackle package with a few rod types, a few reel types, a couple of tackle box styles, a few styles of lures, crankbait, jigs, sinkos, chatterbait, corks, weights, hooks, minnow buckets, etc. Then a quality fishing boat. I have found some flatbottom boats on the web along with a kayak, but a quality bass boat is sorely needed. My Dad just got a new Ranger Z185 which apparently ifs one of the better bass boats of 2017 http://www.boatingmag.com/ranger-z185

Thanks guys. the only one I hadn't seen was the Code66 one, the rest are just not up to par in quality and type for a realistic type render, especially the fish. I was tempted on the boat at TS since it is close to what I needed, but not close enough to justify the price.

Appreciate the effort though!

I do just happen to know The Code 66 has another set which was on sale at YUR digital   Code 66 is Totte on the forums, if you want to talk with him about it.

I didn't notice wwhen I posted but it is probably just as well you didn't get the one at TS because it is in max format

Not a problem since I model in max. I have bought and submitted models at TS before and you can request different formats for most purchases

Thanks for the info will check it out. His set would have saved me a few hours making my own tacklebox had i seen it earlier, LOL

I have a very realistic fly rod, reel and line along with a wicker creel and landing net modeled.  I'm working on rigging them.  Unfortunately, I want to do waders, fishing vest and hat, yet when I load any of the genesis figures, this old clunker computer freezes.  I've just about got my new monster computer built and when it is, my modeling is going to take off.  I don't plan on modelling any flys unless somebody wants them for close-up shots.
