basser89 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 So with Picasso going under, I've lost the ability to buy my favorite spinnerbait color. This was Picasso's Red Shad. I've done a Google search but have come up empty. My brother was talking with one guy but the guy he was talking to stopped responding to him so the search goes on. Can anyone recommend a company that could reproduce this color? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! Quote

midnighthrasher Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Doctor spinnerbait is a sponsor here and he claims to be able to custom build any spinnerbait you could ever need Quote

Super User CWB Posted August 6, 2011 Super User Posted August 6, 2011 Check S.W.A.G. Jigs. You can choose blades, weight, skirt color etc. Dozer has a pretty huge selection that might have what you need also. Quote
Super User Marty Posted August 6, 2011 Super User Posted August 6, 2011 Have you looked at http://www.soblures.com/ ? Quote

basser89 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 Or, make it yourself. I've thought about that but wasn't able to find the exact color I need to do that. One of our members shot me a PM, he makes skirts and is sending me some so looks like I'll be back in business! Check S.W.A.G. Jigs. You can choose blades, weight skirt etc. Dozer has a pretty huge selection that might have what you need also. I have checked through Dozer's and he doesn't even have the color I'm looking for. Have you looked at http://www.soblures.com/ ? They're one of the first places I checked out when I did a google search. Thanks for all the suggestions! Really appreciate it! Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted August 8, 2011 Super User Posted August 8, 2011 Really? Logo is still up on the side. Clear out your cache. That'll fix it. I got a PM from him not long ago saying he didn't re-up. Will be in the future though. I hope he does, he has one fine spinnerbait IMHO. Quote
Fontana Finesse Man Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 New here and hope I don't step on anyone's toes. There are 2 that I use and they are Fat Ratz Lures (Randy) Tru Trac Lures (Lionel). Both make good spinnerbaits and each have made me exactly what I want even though they don't show on their websites. Biggest difference between the 2 are the types of heads they use and the wire size. Hope this helps. Quote
basser89 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 Do you have a picture of it? Only picture I have right now is one I pulled off the internet (its the upper RIGHT one). Quote
Super User CWB Posted August 8, 2011 Super User Posted August 8, 2011 If this is it: http://danddfishingtackle.com/keystone/goldandnickel3.html it doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary and it looks like they're still available. Maybe try to match the skirt color up with a spinnerbait of similar design. Should be a skirt manufacturer out there that makes something close. Out of curiosity, can you post a pic of the color you're after? Quote

Out of curiosity, can you post a pic of the color you're after? The pic I just put up is the only pic I have right now, I lost my last spinnerbait earlier in the year. I've looked for skirt manufacturers before but came up empty on the exact color I would like. The best description I can come up with for it is a reddish, orangish, bubblegum kind of color. IF I can touch base with my brother, I can try to get him to send me a pic of the one Red Shad that he has left. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 thats an easy build except for the blade colors. That will be your hard part. Quote
