Lake Trout fish blanks designed for lifelike recreations

Lake Trout demand believable structure to sell the paint. You need deepwater body mass, correct head profile, clean fin bases, and surface detail that supports the classic laker spot pattern. This reproduction is engineered for professional results, whether you’re building customer trophies or competition pieces.

The foundation for ultra realistic trophy mounts

Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) are all about subtle transitions, including charcoal-to-olive shifts, pale spotting, and realistic sheen. When the blank is accurate and crisp, your transparent layers, pearls, and soft fades read naturally instead of fighting muddy texture or sloppy seams.

What makes this blank world-class?

You’ll feel the difference in prep time and finish quality.

• Accurate anatomy and head geometry for a true Mackinaw look
• Crisp skin detail that holds spots, fades, and clear coats cleanly
• Precision-fit components for less grinding and gap filling
• Thin, flexible fins that accept heat shaping and hold position

Is this Lake Trout replica truly 360° display-ready?

Yes. This is a full-body molded fish reproduction intended for realistic viewing from multiple angles. It is ideal for pedestal mounts and open-shelf installs. The pose orientation is listed in the product table, and the form is built to photograph and present cleanly.

Which build options can I order?

• Unassembled. Ships as detailed components so you can do your preferred seam work, fin setting, and customization before paint.
• Assembled (Ready to Paint). Professionally assembled and seam-finished so you can move straight into prep, prime, and paint. This saves hours per mount.

What sizes and specifications are offered?

Current Lake Trout offerings and measurements are listed in the product table. Review the collection/specs for length, girth, pose/turn, and suggested eye size.
