Made two inch perch minnows today

Ok. I will do five stripes instead of three.

A fin will not change the answer to any of the three questions, so honestly I'd leave the mold alone and spend more time creating color combinations that are going to work well for you. The color scheme in your perch minnow is very exacting and spot on. I'd leave well enough alone if I were making this little guy.

CTom, you were "Spot on" in your observations. I added the fourth and fifth stripe to the lure and now I am satisfied. This "Imitation Perch" finally looks good to me and I know the fish will absolutely eat it up. This lure has my confidence now. That is the most important thing. CONFIDENCE.
