I think I found my solution to the darker top of my smoking shads. I remember reading a post on how someone was using eye shadow as highlights. Being that I love all my smoking shads in pearl colors, I shot some in pearl green. Then I rubbbed my finger in the darker green eye shadow and rubbed it in on the top knit line an faded it slightly down the side all along the top of the bait. Hit it with a heat gun and WHAM! Almost looks like I airbrushed it in. Two pairs of scissors later and I had it in my finger the whole time. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
