[cool][#0000ff]The ones in the pic were mostly made to fish in Arizona waters where threadfin shad are the main forage species. You will notice I have included a black dot on the sides of many of them...as a natural threadfin has.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I paint the bodies white and then overcoat with a pearlescent glitter in a clear vinyl paint mix. On many of them, I add a bluish color back, like shad radiate during most months of the year. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Those colors work great in many fresh water lakes and also in salt water, where small mullet and anchovies are on the diet of the predators.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I make all kinds of wild color patterns, including rainbow trout, perch and fire tiger. But, it is hard to go wrong with basic white...or variations thereof. White is a universal color for most fish.[/#0000ff]
