bass01 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 i am having a hard time getting the back color of the Wakasagi seems like kinda of a green gold avacodo. Thanks BASS01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Not to complicate life, but if you go to Tackle Warehouse and look at their Vision 110 jerkbaits, you'll see 7 different versions of Wakasagi: GG, GG Flashing, HT-ITO, HT HAKONE, ITO, MG, AND STEALTH. Most have some kind of translucent brown/olive back and often some translucent purple on the sides. Wakasagi is a Japanese smelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass01 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 yes its the brown olive back like HT-ITO. each time I mix it the color I cant get the golden tint that those lures have as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimb8s Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Dang BobP, that's impressive that you know that much about those colors !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzyjunyer Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 have you tried doing it in 2 steps? like painting it green and then going over it with light coats of a tranparent or candy yellow? ive done some similar to that and it can take on a more golden green color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crankpaint Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) looking at the lure it looks like i would paint gold first then the green color next as it has a gold hue lower on the sides of the bait then blends to the green color on top Edited May 2, 2012 by crankpaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Try using a very light coat of metalic gold. When I do it, I hold the brush at least 6" from the bait, so I get a fog coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
