Smallie Colors?!

[Ron Don]

First one is the popular black with red flake. Slapped some glow eyes on a few and dipped them in clear. It makes them shine and beefs up the body a little which cant hurt for bass!





Heres some black with heavy silver glitter.


Next is silver with black flake. I wasnt too confident about these, but i was pleased when i popped the mold open! I had to shoot some extras for me! Stuck a white one in there to show the silver.

Oooooh yeah. :icon14: They will be multi-duty... smallmouth/crappie and most likely catch a few odd cats here and there. Method to the mix - black for the mud and silver for the gin. The black/silver for most everything in-betwen.

I know the black/silver and silver/black fleck will find some crappie but really want to run the black/red in front of them this spring too. That silver with the black flake did turn out nice!

Whats the name of the larger frog foot looking grub tail?

 

[Ron Don]

Its a 3.5" swim shad.

They are all great Ron.BUT,I would have to go with a brown and orange flake myself.

Ron,

I like what you've done. Also, you might consider...

• brown pumpkin pepper (also known as pumpkinseed to many)
• Green pumpkin and/or
• green pumpkin pepper and/or
• green pumpkin copper flake
• green pumpkin back over white pearl belly
• white pearl
• brown pumpkin pepper over orange belly (make orange belly small area)
• green chartreuse
• yellow chartreuse
• purple back over gold belly

You are "dialing in" directly to smallmouth bass fisherman with your 3.5" long baits. Black neon is a great choice for a "dirty water" option. I like your silver-n-black combos.

Great job.

Hey, your swimbait has my frogs feet! Must be a CC mold.

Some form of GP has always been the ticket for bottom dragging plastics for drumming up smallies in my area. That black does work better when the water is very stained.

 

[Ron Don]

Bruce orange is the one glitter i dont have. THanks for making me order some now!

I will definitely need to add a watermelon and GP to the mix!

I have some copper glitter i havent tried yet so i take your advice Pup and sprinkle it in some GP.

Fuzz maybe thats why you should sell me that frog mold!

I have jigs in darn near every color mentioned in all the posts above, but i think Fuzzy hit it on the nose....

.......Some form of GP has always been the ticket for bottom dragging plastics for drumming up smallies in my area......

.....what RD posted are all minnow stlye baits! The pearl (peppered) that Pup mentioned is another favorite and i have a few black back/gold belly sassy shad style plastics that i think somewhat match the chubs and darters in my river. The black is just an all around color in my book. Some of the wacko 'purist' river guys claim that the color does not matter at all but i bet they don't make their own lures.

I have a few brown, green and orange twister tails and paddle tails but have alot more of those colors in tubes and creature baits. May just be my preference.
