That sounds great...was thinking we should get together and toss a few thoughts on existentialism around, or just discuss lure stuff . I would love a few of those eyes before I spend $$ on a bunch of them. Dressed trebles....fantastic. Maybe something yellowish for the frog and white/silverish for the black shiner...pretty sure somebody will offer a few ideas on the dressed treble colors.

This is maybe my favorite topwater in my favorite color scheme. I think it would be deadly on a spook.

This is maybe my favorite topwater in my favorite color scheme. I think it would be deadly on a spook. Looks like a fathead minnow to me. Colors: Back and upper sides dark olive to dark gray, becoming white to yellow on undersides with a dusky or gray midlateral band. Thin dark lines outline scale in a distinctive herring-bone pattern that is most notable midlaterally. Two horizontal bands on sides; upper band yellowish and the lower bluish. Looks like a great pattern to put on a topwater or shallow diving lure. Thanks for the reply CCTX.

This is my Money Spook that I do all the tweaking to. I would really like two just like it but with those scales outlined in Chrome.

Got one on the bench that is pretty close....called a Jap Flash Shad. Japanese painters added a little detail to the Flash Spook and I used that pattern as a base for a Flash Shad idea. It doesn't have the foil scales you're looking for. Currently out of spook style blanks but will be getting more soon. I'll try foiling a couple and putting your Flash Shad pattern over the foil...should look really cool . Thanks for the reply Donald. I'll post pictures when I get 'em.
