CedarLakeMusky Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Buddy wants a lure repainted in a Cisco pattern. Wondering if somebody could lead me in the right direction.

Tom S Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 This has done pretty well for me on muskies here in west Mi. It works well painted over foil also. all Createx colors. opaque white base and belly, top 1\3 2 parts Tinting black mixed with 3 parts pthalo blue, pearl white scale on top, looks fine with silver scale too. I also add a lot of glitter to the epoxy clear coat. I like glitter with a little irredescent pink in it, but any glitter will look fine, maybe not gold though. But heavy on the glitter I like that thing flashy! Its very simple, but it catches fish. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetheplumber Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 If you type in "cisco" in the search bar for the hard bait gallery it brings up some pretty cool cisco patterns. Maybe use those to help get an idea and then pull up some reference photos online from the body of water that the lure will be used in the most to match the hatch. Sorry but I haven't got got any paint tips for I have never painted a Cisco..........never seen one either. Lol...........Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I think Auto-Air Elegance (a metallic brownish/gold acrylic) is very close to the darker cisco back color I see when I google examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
