Here is my attempt at fringe proto shad

that looks pretty good. maybe just a very bit of little black on the spine to give it some depth.

Looks like a dead ringer for the plastic bait.

Thanks bois, I love painting ghost patterns, they are probably all around my favorites to Do less time to do them and look more natural most of the time.

You guys are REALLY starting to churn out some top quality paint jobs.

Sorry haven't gotten back on here....I like it
We might have to do this again sometime let me know when you painters want to play.

I'm down for another challenge, don't have any jerkbaits at the moment so it will have to be something I modify for a crankbait.

I have one in mind that might fit the bill ( no pun intended ) it's a custom I did last year for a young man in Grandbury...put me to the test for sure. Came out great but not one I would ever want to make again. Uber laber intensive..I'll dig a pic out,

I see some foil in your future

Is that olive on the back?

Olive would be close enough for the illusion...injured shad
