Fooled around yesterday using a picture I took of a tilapia on Martin Creek. Bear in mind the bait has no eyes yet and its a tad harder to pour in cooler weather so its not perfect. I think its relatively close. The back of the bait is a pearl light green with silver and purple pearl highlights as well. It looks darker in the pix.
Is it close enough? Thanks

Those are the 5" unweighted version but still have line through. Its roughly 3/4oz as it sits. A 3/8 weighted hook is more than enough unless you want to fish deeper. When I add the weighted inserts it bumps it up to around 1 1/4oz. Probably closer to an 1oz.

I'd eat it if I were a bass. But then, I'd never make it to be an old bass...

Brother, that's pretty darn close right there. I'd love to chunk one of those at the discharge.

I have done pretty good with a 6" silver with black back rising son on Fayette. They should love that one as well.
