Fish Mannikins
Sportsman Series Largemouth Bass Mannikins
Tom Sexton's amazing largemouth bass mannikins are unlike anything you've ever seen before. They allow you to mount without any wasted time altering forms or covering mannikins with mache. These mannikins FIT -- right down to the head-lock contours that practically "snap" onto your fish. This isn't some sculptor's idea of what a fish should look like -- these mannikins are ACCURATE from head to tail. Try one today and start mounting your best (and easiest) bass work EVER.
Tom Sexton's incredible bass mannikins have many outstanding features, including clear and precise anatomical reference points. Areas that formerly required modeling with clay or mache now slip into place with ease! All fin unions and fin butts are clearly marked and correctly placed.
No awkward wires through the nostrils or eyes are necessary for securing the head to the body -- a few pins are all that is necessary with unique "head-lock" contours. The accurate shape allows most largemouth bass to be mounted with no modifications to the mannikin and only about a teaspoon of mache. All mannikins include a plywood anchoring block molded into the center of the fish. You can completely mount a bass in only minutes! Try a Sportsman Series bass mannikin soon -- we're sure that you'll agree that it's the BEST bass mannikin EVER MADE!
Check out these great new winter run steelhead mannikins from World Champion fish taxidermist Jeff Lumsden! This is clearly the finest steelhead ever offered to the taxidermy industry. Now you can mount those large fish quickly and economically -- without spending half a day carving a $20.00 block of foam, or using a banana-shaped commercial mannikin. And with the superb anatomy, your steelhead mounts will be better than ever while you save a tremendous amount of time in the mounting process! Jeff has made a career out of his outstanding coldwater fish mounts, which have won Best of Category at state, regional, national, and world competitions -- and now you can take advantage of his talent. These mannikins can be used with either natural or artificial heads. They are available in right- or left-sided display for fish weighing 11 to 27 pounds.
Sculpted by Jim Hall, these rigid foam mannikins were painstakingly constructed based upon the measurement notes of over 1000 trout. Designed with a slight "S" curve, these forms may be used for right, left, or pedestal mounts.
Matt Thompson is considered one of the best fish taxidermists in the world, and every mannikin in this line has been personally designed by Matt himself, using an extensive array of real fish reference. Each mannikin is sculpted to show the best in bone grooves, fin bases, muscle fullness and belly detail. All mannikins include Matt's famous "head lock system," which secures the head in position during and after mounting.
