How to paint a realistic shad

[@stripermanly]

As a fello bait painter myself, I always appreciate a clean natural looks scheme above anything else. Currently working on 3 dozen shad patterns myself on 5 different blanks. May try your scheme on a couple of them. I like the look. Nice job brother

Dude, I had to laugh, your accent is so think my northern ears had to listen to you say that you were going to spray a little purple down the back like 5 times before I could understand. No doubt man, you have some of the best baits out there. Yours always come out looking great! And again, you didn't disappoint.

What netting do you use for the scales?

[@Indyjeeplover]

He said luffa. The sponge thing women use in the shower. I have some like it that I got a Mejer. Walmart has them. I’ve got probably a dozen different styles and sizes of netting. Hobby Lobby, Jo-Ann’s all have it in bulk. You can usually buy as little as a foot at a time, sometimes even by the inch.
