This is the Tilapia. One of our power plant lakes has had these stocked.

This is the Norman. I saw this scheme on another lure and liked it. So I gave it a shot.

Eric, both baits are really sharp.  I love that blue/grey over light grey, that would make a good crappie color pattern.

Thanks Marty.

I have a crappie stencil I am working out. It will be done in time for spring. The bass in the test tank (ie the 3 acre pond) love crappie during the post spawn.

Eric

those are awsome cranks, great work

That is one of the better Tilapia patterns I have seen. There are many color phases of Tilapia, and this one is pretty standard.

Great work ernel!  

That tilapia does look good.  

Thanks ya' folks.

Very nice.......you didn't happen to see that bottom color on a Kaihatsu Chip didja?  

Probably so.     It will work well for a different blue back herring pattern.
