Lake I fish is gin clear with no forage other than shad--threadfin and gizzard. Been thinking that solid white spinnerbaits may be too loud. Poured a couple on Sunday and painted the heads gray with a little glitter. Tied this skirt last night. I guess we will see if it works on Saturday. In real-life it is not as dark as it appears in the picture.
Hoping the single willow will stay down deeper and be a little more subtle than twins.

I don't see anything wrong with that bait. I hope it whacks them.
That will work!!!
Are some of those skirt strands smoke with gold flake? I have been looking for that color.

Yes, a dark smoke with gold flakes. I got them at Barlows Tackle.Originally Posted by Munkin
No panfish in the lake?

Some crappie, but very few bluegill, etc.
Sorry to bother you on this but can you give me the color code? I looked at their site and cannot find this color.

I use a lot of shad colored skirts for clear water as I think they look more natural than solid white. Here is a chatterbait that I made in a shad color which I also poured the trailer to match.

Allen, what colors are in your skirt? I use one called "backbone green" that is nice but not on a full skirt. The colors on yours are subtle but they still show up, I have some plain smoke but it is a little too dark and I can find a plain smoke that is lighter in color or without a lot of flake. I also have a good amount of "mouse" and it has a lot of green crystal, too much for a subtle baitfish pattern.
