Definitely start with Green Pumpkin.  Maybe some Bronze Hilite if You want to go Pearly.  Maybe a little Glow Powder to add some opaqueness, and late evening here-I-am.  Flake option, Orange or Copper.

I was hoping this would turn into a "color" conversation.  Have a look at the real thing and start thinking on how you can more closely mimic what the fish see and eat... 

That seems so simple, yet not many fishermen would go on a crawfish hunt in their locale to see the natural colors and fewer likely have seen the changes in colors based on body temp of the craw.  For those interested, I found this site some years ago and patterned many of my flippin' jigs from these pictures (along with some other colors that I've seen in the wild).

For the corn loving craws that Jerry might regularly see:

For your neck of the woods, you can get a specific list dealing by state just by erasing "iowa" and subbing your state at the end of the above link.

Somewhat close, I guess. I am happy with the color. Think I'll call it "Natural Craw"

No, it's something I whipped up. I'll post it in the recipe section soon.

This thread got me thinking, why not put it on a crankbait!

It's not finished yet, still need to add the rest of the highlights but here is my work in progress.

Just amazing!

Maybe you could bring a few (hundred) with you for our get together next weekend. We could all touch feel, steal, take, some of them. LOL.
Until next time.
