Nice looking bait!!

Thanks BBM.

It's amazing how a good clear coat makes the colors come alive.

Great looking bait! It's so hard to make gray baits come alive.

I did a real light fog coat of Folk Art metalic gold over the back and sides, and the reshot the cheeks with pearl silver.

I found that the gold warms up the grey without overpowering it.

I do the same thing with a fog coat of brite green over pearl silver to get a crappie color, and then, after I've added the black markings with a sharpie, I fog the back and shoulders with the gold, and it warms that up, too.

Painting is fun!
