Post your best Caney Creek Pours here, up to 5 entries (Nov. 1 - 30th).  We will vote on them the first week of December.  I will post some pics as well, however I am not in the contest.

Bluegill.....
« Reply #2 on: 11/09/10 14:59 UTC »
After several mid level tournament anglers and a couple Elite series pros asked for a Bluegill frog (like Fred Roumbanis used to win an Elite Series event last year), this is what I came up with. The belly is pearl white with an orange spot and light blue spot in front. Body of frog is a watermelon/smoke pearl blue color with orange, purple, blue and black flake as shown.

That's a cool color - it turns brown in the water.  We have it as well, if you look at our colorants you can see an example of what it looks like with less colorant - more of a purple, but it still changes in the water.  Crayfish does something along the same lines.  Another cool color (it was new to me) is Blue Crawfish.  I don't like the color out of the water, but in the water it looks really good, and most important the fish seem to really like it!

Here's the Blue Crawfish:

Here is my second bait... Black Banded Frog... Fish seem to like laminate colors due to the contrast so i thought why not try 3 colors. Frog has a light lime green back, black band and pearl white belly. Wish I could get better pic!  >:(

I wish it was something special and I could take credit for creating something super cool but it's just Blue Crawfish with Emerald, Turquoise and Black flake.  I don't know how to describe how it looks in the water other than it's the same as the blue / green color crawfish have on them.

I did shoot it today using the foil trick and did half that color and half purple.  It turned out pretty cool. I'll take a pic and post it when I get a chance.

Ok... This might be my last frog bait as my last entry may be a MD 3XL... I call this one Sweet Frog. It has a red throat, green eyes, lime green bottom and green pumpkinish top....

I really like this one!!!

OK... This is my final one..  :'(

Decided to post up my favorite catching color in the MD3 XL.... I call it Green Pumpkin Purple Haze.... The blending block I use laminates these baits perfectly, even in the thin claws....





This looks good with watermelon/purple haze lamination also!!!
