    My First Crankbait Attempt - Bleeding Citrus Shad Bandit

    I have always stuck with spinnerbaits, football jigs, crazy jigs, etc. and had never tried painting a crankbait but decided to play around a little bit. I just did a simple paint job (nothing fancy like some of you guys) and still have a few things to touch up but thought it came out ok.

    Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!

    Thanks guys!!!

    I tried to put a little red splatter on the back and belly for the "blood effect" but it is hard to see. I will mess around some more and luckily I have a few baits laying around to practice with

    Number two... I have always done well with gold colors around the clear lakes of SW Missouri which is why I made myself this one.
