madbass Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 This is my first try at a laminate. It is baby bass, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_N_Fool Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 I'm sure they will catch fish madbass, but I would add a little more color to the green to make it darker and add more black flake to it to make it look a little more like a bass. But like I said I'm sure this color would catch fish, I just like a darker bait. Red Shad is one of my favorite colors. I got the majority of my fish last year on that color.

GB GONE Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Looking good Madbass...I think those will catch fish. Sometimes I vary the green color myself and pour them light or darker depending on the water color/clarity. Wish my first lams looked that good !!

BassnG3 Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Looks great Dont be shy with coloring on your sticks especially when you add alot of salt. My first few attempts looked faded/dull especially after they were reheated the color seems to dissipate. Now that you have done a double when are you going to do a triple pour?

NJFishRGuy Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Madbass, Great job! Wish mine came out that good first time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbass Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 The green back kind of washed out in the picture for some reason. It is a little darker than it looks on the pic. I actually prefer a touch lighter anyway because the water is very clear around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I like the lighter green myself. Those look great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsac Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I like the lighter green as well. Remember, bass are different colors everywhere you go. Sometimes even in the same body of water. That's the beauty of handpours. If everyone is making a dark green bass pattern, I want to make something else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Were they from a 2-part metal mold? I like to pour light first and then use Spike-It or Bi-Rite worm dye if I want it darker or chartreuse. Watermelon dye would do a good job of deepening the color, if need. Pumpkin dye would give a unique olive color over that green. Good job. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbass Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yes, they were poured in Dels 2- piece aluminum mold with Senkosam's glitter, Del and LC colorant. Foured Dels salt with a coffee grinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
