I don't know why there aren't more crappie patterns out there but I took a Peal White 3/4 oz Fat Free Shad and turned it into this. Not the greatest but it got the job done.

What are you talking about all the lures I try to paint with my airbrush turn out crappy?

That's a crappie paint job.

A realistic crappie pattern is a tough 1 to paint.   I like the look of your bait, very nice mods on that one.

I like the paint job.  Matches our crappie around here almost perfect.

looks like it catches fish

Thanks guys. I don't have an airbrush or anything, just a permanent marker and a few cans of spray paint. I actually did a similar thing to a black and silver DT-16. I was out with a buddy not catching much and then I took a sharpie to the crank, marked it up, and stuck a three pounder on the very next cast

I tried painting a Crappie once they are pretty hard to figure out

Looks like you got it figured out pretty good to me!
