Maybe it's the lighting, but I'd like the stripe to be more pink.  It looks more flesh-colored to me and doesn't stand out in the pic very well.  Probably looks different in hand though, my baits always do.  As is, it's a nice bait anyway; I'd use it!  Also really like the Kokanee, and I can picture that with a stripe in it too.  Pink, green, black... any number of colors would look fantastic.  Smallmouth looks as good as any natural bait... a very likely producer and I'd love it on the river I fish.

One of my clients had me make the rainbow and wanted a lighter version of pink as the fingerlings here have a very faint line in them

I really like the kokanee.  I have been trying to mix a blue color like that.  It looks awesome!

The blue on my kokanee is real simple 1 drop blue NB CCM to 4oz plastisol add .08 black and blue holo flake to it

I do a one drop 2X flow blue to 4 oz. clear and get a color pretty close to that too. Nice job

all look good!  Are you hand pouring the belly, then that vein, then shooting the back/tail on the rainbow?  I usually use the Twin on those, haven;t thought of three colors, seems like a production nightmare?

Yes I am hand pouring both the belly and vein right now I did not like the way the tail came out using the twin injector several times. It is a pain but I get a premium price for them
