Rudie Errenrich Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 OK, did some lipless cranks this weekend. Which one do you guys prefer. 1. Emerald green backgound, then a little bit of silver and then the dark green. 2. White background, then emerald green then dark green. 3. Black background then silver, then emerald green and then dark green. I then did some weathering in between the gill plates and scales (something I learned while building model aircraft) 4. Black background, then silver, then emerald and lastly the dark green. Quote
HookSetDon Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 number 2 for me, I dont know anything about painting cranks but is it possible to add some kind of gold glitter to it? almost like the gycb baby bass senko pattern? pretty deadly Quote
West Coast Bass Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 if you wanted my honest opinion, 2 and 3 are on point with 4 being a close third. the first one is a little too bright for baby bass, but all are stunning. great job. would love to do something like this in the future. Quote
Fishwhittler Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 I have to agree with West Coast Bass. That first pattern looks just a little too green compared with all of the bass I've seen. The silver flanks on the third and fourth patterns look much more realistic (to me). But, go fish them all and see which ones the fish like. Quote
Rudie Errenrich Posted August 27, 2012 Author Posted August 27, 2012 Come on guys, number one is called the vegetarian baby Bass. Quote
jbass Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 To really come up with a "bass" color. Go online and download a few pictures. Try to mix your colors as closely as the pictures, one other thing the colors change dramatically once the bait is in the water. This is just my 0.1685R (.02 USD). Quote
Skeeterman225 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 I'd go with 3 first 2 second. Like the way the edges are brought out more on the third one Quote
Backwoodsbasser Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 What brand crankbait is that?very realistic looking Quote
