First Trout attempt

I still havent got a good trout patteren down yet, there really hard to do:lol:. Yours looks really good tho. I really like your green, it looks great:yay:.

the color was mixed using apple barrel leaf green and adding black a few drops at a time until I got the shade of green that I was looking for.

Nice looking trout. Good paint scheme, and detailing.

I'm going to mix up some of your leaf green/black paint and try it out.

You might try what I use, and see if it works for you, too.

I use apple barrel mossy green, and a couple drops of transparent dark brown.

Then I spray a light coat of trans. dark brown over the back.

Hi , John ,.... turned out a nice trout pattern , but I also like the outer shape of your bait:yes: .

What kinda lip did you use , ...looks to me like you boroughed it from a commercial crankbait:? ?

well done lure:yes:..., greetz , Dieter

Thanks for the compliments. I made this as a gift for a 15 year old who hooked a big trout on a jerk bait and it got away right at the boat also lost his lure. It was his first big trout. His dad is taking him back to try for another big one. I hope he catches it on my bait. Diemai, the lip came from jann's netcraft. I shortened it about 1/4 inch.

By the way, the pink on this lure is createx white pearl with a couple of drops of createx flourescent pink. I know somme don't agree with this but both the green and the pink were thinned with blue windex
