Anything you like. Play around with it and find what works best for YOU! Personally, a really good base flake would be lots of small red with a touch of large black flake. I used that on many of my baits. When it comes to flake color and size, the possibilities are endless. Oh and welcome to TU!!

I like the idea of using tape for a tight fit to test! thanks for the tips! I will report back once I get it figured out!

Sad that those that lack imagination cast aspersions on those that do have it, having little else to offer. Incredible is the simple fact that many Frankenstein soft plastics do far better than what you pay for and are the ultimate in finesse design. In fact, some shapes/actions have been borrowed from existing conventional lures , many of which are uniquely different and do very well for many fish species. My obsession with new designs reflects on a few things: 1. Good lure action-profiles + size can make all the difference when it comes to sizes of fish caught and quality within the number. 2. Hard or soft plastic lure design in general can be categorized by how lures move when retrieved. Crankbaits are different than spinnerbaits; bass jigs and trailer display motions different tha both. So, when to comes to soft plastics, the concept of categories applies based on shape and action. Again, it's difficult to explain to anyone lacking an imagination or an open mind the subtle differences in design - like for any lure type - that make a lure superior and more strike-provocative. Good thing Dave posts relative comments that encourage the sharing of ideas unlike others that have little to offer.

I do it the same day. This way it sticks real good and will not come off. I put my eyes on and dip just after to get a good bond. I think the LC site said you have to clean the baits if they have been setting. This is the same stuff as Lureworks. Frank
