I am looking forward to my annual fishing trip up to Traverse City with my Dad and Uncle, we will be staying on Green lake and fishing some of the local lakes around the area. This past year I have started airbrushing crankbaits and I thought it would be pretty cool to come up with a dynamite "Michigan" color scheme that will drive the smallies crazy! Does that color exist? who knows, but half the fun is creating a fishing lure. So here's the deal, I need suggestions from you Michiginians for colors/patterns that will turn the average crankbait into smallmouth candy. I will pick one or more ideas to paint up, then use the lures on my fishing trip, if it's a success I will paint up some more and mail them to you as thanks. You can post your ideas on this thread or PM me to keep the color combo a *secret* . I only fish Michigan waters 4 days a year so you will have an exclusive HOT bait to rake in tons of tourny bucks or throw in your tackle box to never see the light of day again, your choice. So get your creative fisherman juices flowing, enter the mind of a smallmouth and let the ideas BEGIN!!!
Crankbait blanks I have on hand:
