wanting to paint this pattern next.. any suggestions or ideas for paint scheme will help ... I am going to begin the trial and error process tonight.

I plan on trying a similar pattern for my next attempt. I'm let you know if I figure anything out.

What is it....sunfish...tilapia???

That's a sunfish, but I just realized I haven's seen any tilapia cranks on this forum yet........

all in due time.

I only have just over a dozen patterns that I want to paint right now. I mean at this exact moment.

Here's one based on a discontinued Academy pattern..... Golden Tilapia

If you want another good example, go to Academy right now and look at the Norman DD22 Tilapia which is on clearance. I bought 2 yesterday for $1.98 ea. Tilapia DD22

Jelly bean dd22 is a closer match to tilapia imo

This is what they look like in the PP lakes that I fish.

Those look nice Carlos I think a combination of the purple and green would be sweet. Maybe paint the purple stripe down the lateral line area,then scale mask and stipe the green.

carlos. give don harper a pm. he's looking for some mexican pilapia for a trip to mexico on june 11th. i was going to paint baits for his trip but don't have the blanks yet. those might work for him. rick
