New Natural Patterns

Here's a few from this week.

First try at Baby Bass. Not too satisfied with it, will be tweaking it the next couple of weeks.

Finally I did a little extra shading to my Pumpkinseed to try.

Those look great.

I only say this becaue you posted you would be tweaking the baby bass in the future & not that I could even think to paint any thing like this but it looks a little dark to me.

WOW! I love the pumpkinseed pattern.

Agree with Fogy on all three fronts: they look great, I couldn't even imagine being able to airbrush cranks like this, and the baby bass looks a tad dark. As for the "odd" colored bluegill, we have bluegills/sunfish that are about 10 different colors around here, and that's a pretty common one.

Those look great wish I had the skill to paint like that.

looks good man! Those bluegill are hard to copy. you almost have to copy the kinda bluegill you see caught in each lake to be uber-effective. baby bass is a bit dark, unless you are going after a shoal bass or smallie....shoal bass will have a red eye as will a warmouth.....Large mouth have a golden eye.

Yea blue gill are different colors in every pond and lake in my area. Now on the bass like most have said yes its a little dark and a real one does not have a red eye, But the red eye is a nice addition cause it can help intice a bass to bite it verses a regular eye style. id rather have a red eye then a standard on all my baits.
