Painting and finish details
Greg Cassell’s trophy-quality finishing builds believable depth and species character. Greg applies measured airbrush passes to lay base color, then refines banding, flank gradients, and fin-edge contrast with fine hand detailing. The glass eye is hand painted to provide natural catch light and focal depth. The overall finish reads like a trophy on the wall both at a distance and under close inspection.
Spadefish Structure
This mount starts as a first generation cast taken directly from an actual spadefish. That means the mold captures the real fish’s anatomy at source so gill plates, mouth recesses, fin bases, and scale topology are faithfully reproduced in the fiberglass form. That museum-quality structure is what separates a proper fish mount replica from a generic copy.

4. What materials are used in the spadefish replica?
The form is fiberglass produced from a first generation cast and reinforced at the hanging point. The finish uses professional-grade paints and an automotive-grade UV resistant clear coat so color holds up over time. We call the form museum-quality and the finished art trophy-quality.
5. How do I hang a Spadefish Fish Mount Replica?
Each replica ships with a rubber coated hanging wire pre-installed so it hangs like a framed picture. At roughly one to two pounds for a 16 inch mount, standard picture hooks or light-duty drywall anchors work fine. If you have an unusual wall type, contact Florida Fish Mounts and we will advise the best hardware.
6. How do I clean and maintain my spadefish replica?
Dust with a soft cloth or use compressed air for tight areas. For surface cleaning use Windex and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the finish. The automotive-grade clear coat helps resist fading but proper placement extends color life.
7. How does a fish mount replica differ from taxidermy?
A fish mount replica uses a fiberglass cast and hand-applied finish rather than preserving the original fish. Replicas offer consistent structural fidelity, lighter weight, and no biological preservation issues. At Florida Fish Mounts you get museum-quality form and trophy-quality finish without dealing with real tissue or long-term conservation concerns.
8. What are the dimensions and weight of the 16 inch spadefish replica?
Length is 16 inches tip to tip, the height is 12½ and its width is 2½ inches. Typical weight for this size is around 1 to 2 pounds, making it easy to hang and move.
