You may be on to something here. Like the purplish hue on the back. Is there a little yellowish hue on the gill plates? For me a little darker blue upper back and a deep blue almost dark violet backbone and just a touch of redish at center mass would sweeten the deal. Seems like Excalibur Fat Free Shads came in a pattern very close to yours...can't recall the name but it killed the bass all spring and summer long.

Suggestion on this one...darken the eye socket before you put the eyes in. Just a bit of color to "plaster of paris" the eyes. At times this touch really makes the eyes stand out. Good pattern.... well worth the time to develop further.
