Finally got one that is at least acceptable. I dont know what it is about baby bass, but i have had a hell of a time coming up with a pattern I like. This is the best so far, although I feel it is still lacking.

That is a Pointer 100 for size comparison.

If saavedra doesnt like it he can cram it up his cram hole. ;D

I think the pattern looks as is but if you want something extra.   Try spraying some iridescent gold scales over the light green followed by the darker colors.

Thanks Big M, the picture doesnt show it, but there is a good deal of gold pearl on there.

I didnt scale pattern the whole bait, out of laziness, just did the small mock scale tipping on the belly, i think if i do big scales on the sides it will be better.

Don't see anything wrong with it. Wish I had some fish over here though that would eat that big thing.

The more i look at this picture the more disappointed i am with it. Need better light to bring out the depth and iridescence of the paint. Maybe tomorrow, suns gone down now.

LOL, Dave you have a fan club.

I think it looks great Jay, I'd eat it.

Man I was waiting for some more funds to come along but I was thinking about asking you to try a baby bass patterned 2x4. If you've got some time I may hit you up for an 8" one. I think it looks good man.

Looks good!

Fourbiz I have an idea why you dont like it. When you look ata bass from a distance you see a simple contrast of colors. Dark green that blends downward, silver/gold sides white belly and the black markings. This is kind of what your bait looks like. But when you look at a bass closer you see that it is not simple and there are other not so obvious colors like blue and flesh and reds. The green area of a bss isnt just grean its a dark green and silver/gold mixed. If you break it down and layer your paint  I think you will be satisfied. I dont know if I explained all that great but I am pretty sure you got what I was saying.

Oh yeah get some reference photos , close ups
