Clear bronze

http://custombaits.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=2099

No picture will ever do this bait justice, especially an iPod pic under crappy lighting at 12:30 am. But it's a killer bait.
2 oz plastic
1/16th tsp .015 black flake
Small amount .015 holo silver flake - less than 1/16 tsp, should have been a little more.
Tiny amount bronze hilite, just barely enough to show up.

As you can see I also did some swimshad w/ motor oil for the back, I love the combo.

That bronze is an interesting color of hi lite. It goes from "where is it" to " holy moly" in a heartbeat. In greens with a hint of brown, like Do-It's watermelon brown X2, mixed slightly thin and mostly transparent the bronze hi lite works off the brown very well and makes one of the most natural colors around.

No straight clear ones, but I did motor oil/ clear bronze laminates, DF.

you know I can't ignore that mold when I'm shooting plastic, those little croakers are just too damn cute.

Bronze hilite goes a long way indeed, Tom. It works great with smoke and makes for good laminates. Also good in pearl as a belly color for imitating baby bass and many baitfish that don't have a clean pearl white belly. While blue remains my favorite color hilite, bronze might be the most versatile and useful of the bunch.
