Tally Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 look at a bass pro magazine or go on-line and just look at the different colors of cranks that are out there. Then use your imagination and create your own. Tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 It depends on where you fish and what you are after.But my advice is keep it simple to start,try copying an exsisting pattern that you know catches fish. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvowell Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I'm still pretty new to making hardbaits myself, but I'm with Tally. Bass Pro Shops is a wonderful resource to get ideas on colors/patterns. Think about what is working in your area and what type of forage the fish (whatever species you are targeting) feed on and go from there. A very simple pattern that will catch fish in clear water is just to paint your bait pearl white and put a green stripe down it's back. You'd be amazed at how great some of the simple patterns work! Have fun and it's great to see a teenager on the forum and making their own baits! Best of luck! -Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
