Painting jerkbaits for big trout

Bottom one looks spot on buddy.  Maybe a hair more darker or muddier brown, but the mottle effect looks great!

Can't wait to see one!

Moving on to a sculpin flavored bait, I have been working on some new techniques with the air brush and trying to get color schemes down.  That’s not easy being red/green color blind to an extent. Been practicing on plastic spoons and I’m up to my 6th attempt. Getting closer but not quite there yet.

I know a guy that may have some reference photos that you can compare to for color schemes!

I don't have them on my phone.

Yeah, whatever. I was certainly put in my place. Gosh, my embarrassment knows no bounds. 

Paint on.✊

JoeD,

Heres a few pictures of browns from a guy that doesn’t fish enough posted for a guy that doesn’t read enough.

Duane I hope that these help.

Think I’m about to run with this one

Maybe a shot of Blue on the chin!  Man can't wait to see your pattern on a lure buddy. 

And hey you got a Rainbow and a stinking bass in that picture post above... Immediate disqualification of your claims on actually catching brown trout!

Wanted to see if joeD looked at pictures like he reads

Duane's post with all the pictures makes it REALLY hard to concentrate at work.  Now if you'll excuse me I need to check and see if I have a couple vacation days I can use here in the future......
