Big Bass Man Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Which green shad bait is it that you are wanting to match? I have looked at a few different bait companies with that color and they are all different. Welcome to TU !!

Big Bass Man Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I am trying to match the green shad color on the strike king 1.5 crankbait. Thanks for your help..... Too me, It looks like it is green scaled across the back and shoulders, Then solid green down the center of the back. Black kill spot and then hit with some blue highlite paint down the back. The green you can lighten with white or darken with black, to get the color green that you want. Hope that helps! Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtoolsniper Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 It may help if you purchase a color wheel, I spent $4.00 on one and it really helps me get to the color I am looking for a lot faster. I also write down how many drops of each color I add until I get what I think is right and then I put a section of clear packing tape in the notebook beside the recipe and paint a spot on that so I can see the color I achieved.

Great idea about the packing tape....... Edited July 24, 2011 by Double Trouble Lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
