This was my first attempt at making a somewhat natural shad color, it's not perfect but I was pleased with the results and thought I'd share them and the recipe as it was easy to make yet looks good (IMO).
Top color
1 cup of plastic
1/8 tsp silver pearl
1/8 tsp silk pearl
1/4 tsp holo flake
1/8 tsp .008 black and .008 silver
Bottom color
1 cup plastic
1/4 tsp pearl powder
1/4 tsp holo flake and .008 silver
A little bit of .008 gold and .008 black (around 1/32-1/16 of a tsp)
Side note if you want to darken up the back 3-5 drops of do it black works well and has a cool effect with the silver pearl, I didn't do it with these baits but have on a similar back color

Niiiice. I can see our pike chomping on the larger one....and the first eight inches of the line.

Sweet color Bob it’s awesome how much the smaller flake looks like when you compare Big to small flake. When there on the live bait bite that’s a color that is first one out of the box.
