    Pink, Chartruese, or natural colors. IMO these are all you need maybe do a mullet color since it is one a big glide. The zombie colors are sick too like a zombied mullet or pinfish or something.

    Salt water fish are many years behind freshwater fish in sophistication so red-head, white-body still works well.

    If you look closely at the mouth of this Jack, you will see the red head of a inhaled red/white Chug Bug

    This lure is packaged up and heading to Melbourne FLA, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it catches a fish for him. He hasn't bought a boat yet so right now it will be casting from the shore. I couldn't just give it a red head and white body, as a lure painter that would be too easy!!
