longhorn Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I've tried really hard to get the sexy shad color in soft plastic and after many failures I think I may have it. Maybe I should have put these two in separate compartments. I hope the bass like them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outdooradvantage Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Those are really nice, I'm sure the Bass will love them. Good job.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squigster Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Great job. They look really nice. I wish my baits could look that good. Love the pearl tones in the belly. Just some facts that most people dont know is that Sexy Shad is really a representaion of an American Shad. It's not a new hot color scheme as most people think. The crazies on eBay are paying more for them than what they cost at Bass Pro Shops. The key is that a Strike King Series 5 crankbait is a great bait in general and Sexy Shad is a good representation of a real shad so its a perfect combination. Rapala Fat Raps/Shad Raps "Shad" pattern have had this color scheme for years. No one really has paid attention until KVD won two tournaments on it. http://www.todopescatienda.com/images/OF%20Rapala%20RR7%20SD.jpg http://www.chesapeakebay.net/info/american_shad.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longhorn Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Thanks for the nice comments. This post was actually meant to be a joke....two sexy shad baits in one compartment....all the little sexy shads....get it? I never could tell a joke Sorry, but I don't sell baits. Since y'all asked...the back color is a mix of silver pearl and violet super hi lite and the belly is just blue super hi lite with a little .015 silver flake. The yellow is a sprinkling of some chartruese glitter. Sorry I don't have formulas...I'm very old school and just mix until it looks right.

rico.29 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 great shad. did you use a 2 parts mold or are they dipped like basstrix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 All are made from one-piece POP molds. The swim baits have a hollow belly. I was not successful at the dipping technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico.29 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 great result and technic, about technic i guess that you dip them after painting and putting eyes but i'm not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yes, I dip them after putting the kill spot and eyes on....the kill spot is the only paint on the baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
