Keith,

If you are only doing a few for yourself to fish with, would this goofy idea of mine work? Just wondering. Could you just take a pair of your wife's stockings and cut out a 5" x 5" square out of it? Take some black spray paint and spray the stocking. Then lightly touch it to your plastic bait and seal the pattern in clear plastic dip? You can answer here or just shoot me a pm. Thanks.

Mike
