    Default Olive


    I cooked this one up to help answer a question elsewhere.



    I used 7 drops of MF brown watermelon in 3 ounces of plastic. Some gold .015 flake and green hi lite was tossed in too. The green hl helps to pull some of the green out of the basic color without making the green come across too strong. It creates a beautiful, natural color.

    The belly is silver pearl with fire opal micro glitter, a standard mix of mine. The line is smoke. Instead of using a lam plate for the smoke line I simply hand poured both of the belly colors. I like the results.

    More and more I am starting to like these natural colors. Like a couple others I've shown lately this one looks almost alive.

    And Bob....those aren't bubbles you see in the belly....micro glitter.

    I bag everything and it all goes in 5 gallon pails. Got a crappie/panfish pail. Got a Walleye and sauger pail. The only thing anymore that sees a plano box is jigheads.

    The eyes are "stick-on" critters. As soon as the eyes are put on I dip the bait in a clear coat to seal them.

    I put eyes only on those that I am going to take a picture of or post pictures of. I actually prefer baits without eyes. I do bag these up and put them in my crappie pail and will use them thru next season. When I do put these baits with eyes on jigs, the jigs are simple, plain lead jigheads, no paint.

    Good looking baits. LC has a nice olive powder that makes a good base. Sometimes i add a little yellow and sometimes a smidge of green depending what shade i was wanting.
