New Sunfish, we'll see how it does this weekend!

Those are lookin sweet...and since we're on the subject of sunfish and prop baits I got to thinkin today. The rivers I fish here in Alabama, the bluegill and sunfish get a real yellow/blue look to their tail this time of year. I was thinking of painting the tail spinner on a prop bait to match that...have you ever tried a painted prop?

Well I have, but not recently. I used a Dremmel tool on the props on the sunfish version to give them a different reflective quality with light bouncing off the brass versus nickle.

I have painted one side white and one side yellow, using enamel spray cans. It looks pretty good on a citrus shad. AND you can buy already painted props from the suppliers if you wanted them pre painted. They MIGHT be more durable, but I do not know what they are using to paint them with.
