This is a proper fishing badge, not just a fish outline. The bass is in the air, mouth open, coming out of a wave, and the whole thing is packed into a circle with the tackle framing it on either side. Its got alot of stitch work in it, the largest size hits 98,481 stitches, so plan for a longer run and make sure your bobbin is full before you start.
Seven colors: yellow for the hook and lure hardware, two shades of blue for the water, dark green for the background fill, grey and white for the scale detail, and black for outlines and the fine work. The bass itself is the most complex section, directional satin in grey with white underlay highlights that actually make every scale read as three-dimensional when the light hits it right. I ran this at a density of 1,931 which means solid, thick coverage on every fill area.
Tape a firm cutaway under anything stretchy. On heavy canvas or structured caps, medium cutaway is fine. scaled to 3.51 x 3.17 inches it sits great on a fishing cap front panel where the circular badge shape locks in perfectly. Run the 7.50 x 6.80 version on a jacket back or a large canvas bag and you'll see exactly why the stitch count is worth it. Use a topping on fleece or napped fabrics so those scale details dont disappear into the pile.
A customer texted me last summer after running the large size on a canvas cooler bag, said the detail on those scales got him 3 commissions at the boat ramp before he even got home. Thats the kind of file that does its own marketing.
Text me if you hit any file issues, I'll sort you out.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
