Blue Fleck 1 / Pearl
« on: 01/12/15 13:21 UTC »
 Normally I use this color just for Ring-It worms but thought I'd give it a try in some other baits.  They didn't quite turn out like I wanted, they seem kind of bland. Any ideas on how to jazz these up a little?

5" ES Senkos

7" Ribbon Tail Worm

4" Swim Toad

I like those curly tail a lot. For bass they look good the way they are.

I agree, those RTW are great as is.  Not flashy maybe, but they'll work great.

Trust me on this one, DF.  I do not criticize others work.  Your stuff is magnificent...except for the senko tail.  I think it's kind of ok, but kind of ho-hum too.  Maybe some silver or chartreuse flash.  (I'm going to go put on my lead underwear now.)
Until next time.

I'm with Denny on this one. Senko with white just doesn't get it with me. I say change that tail to chartreuse or maybe even a blue would be a better choice.

Thanks for the honest input guys, I will give some different color tails a try.  Boxers or briefs Denny?  :)

Man...DF...don't fix it if it ain't broke, Bro.

But, on the other side of the Coin...hmmm...how 'bout some Red Hilite in the Pearl.  I like it as-is, but to add something, I'd add Red Hilite to the Tail to accent the Plum, and if that still won't cut it, how 'bout some Blue Flake either with or without the addition of the Red Hilite...dotdotdot

  I like the color myself. I wouldn't change a thing. Main thing, does the fish like them?

 I caught a bunch of bass on ring-it worms this color in the spring and early summer, so I like the color, just not to sure about it in these baits.

It may sound crazy but I promise this pops. It has also worked for me as a kid. Lime green or green chartreuse. I like the worm and toad as is though but the senko and worm would both pop with that adjustment.

Buck Naked Boxer/Briefs from Duluth Trading Company.  Best underwear ever made, period.  Every now and again they stink a little bit, butt I never claimed to be perfect.
Until next time.

BKJ might be right on here for the senkos, red (or violet) hilite and blue glitter.  I'd dose the blue fleck w/ the same hilite to tie them together color-wise. 

And if you just want something different, cc1 is right; lime green or chartreuse w/ plum would be a no brainer here too.  Match blue glitter w/ the blue fleck to tie it together as well.
