Here's a couple more colors that have been good producers.
The orange over a yellow-gold hi lite flank and white belly is a real good fish catcher on cloud, dingy days. The orange has a top coat of gold and rose hi lite in clear, maybe twice as much rose as gold. The sun is at a bad angle for any of the top coat hi lite colors come out in the picture but they are there big time....about like the crank baits from the other day's post.
This purple over pink with a white belly is another great one on brighter days. The purple was put on the flanks as another "crappie" pattern, heat set then the back's purple sprayed on. The top coat is clear with violet and rose hi lites in equal amounts.
No idea why, but last summer the baits that had white portions on their bellies caught more fish and got more swings and misses than baits with bellies the same color as the sides. Weird, but that's why the bellies have not been given any color other than white.
