SNOWMAN CUSTOM BAITS Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I have not tried to paint one . I use wildlife creations lacquer paint and it looks just like the simmering green I have . I have the shimmering blue green and it's not that . I have the redeye shad in that color , I don't know if the regular crankbaits are the same color .

vabassen02 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Snow, I painted them white base, with light coat of black and then the shimmering green taxideremy paint . Turned out really close. Then I mixed up the greenpumkin color for the scale back . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Could someone post a link to a picture of the bait? I can't seem to find it. All I've found so far is the green gizzard shad. thanks, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnie3035 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Have you tried a silver pearl underneath the shimmer color? The silver will give it a slightly different look than a white pearl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
