May bait manufactors who build bucktails, jerkbaits, crankbaits and topwater look at this site on a daily basis.

They often ask me what colors of baits would sell best at the Milaukee shows..

This year its your turn to choose.. So what colors would you like to see at Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison and Minnesota. Please let the venders know what colors, for what show?.

I am sure they would be very pleased to hear from you guys.[;)]

I can only make it to the Mn show so my reply would be for there. I would like to see a wider range of tandem spinner baits. I haven,t been able to find one that I really think has been designed for my needs. Maybe I'm just too picky. But mostly the hooks are too small and the wire too heavy. On second thought maybe I"ll just make my own. LOL Secondly a Perch pattern bucktail like the ghost tail but with a little more subdued colors a little darker maybe.

I want unpainted ones. I buy unpainted Reef Hawgs from R&H and would like to see other manufacturers offer their lures unpainted. I`ve got an air brush that I love to play with. I make my own jigs, bucktails, arrows.....there is something special about catching something with something that you made your self. Caught 2 skis on custom Hawgs this year.

White/Silver, White/Black, all Chart., White/Chart. Chart./Black

I'd really like to see some baits painted or printed to look like a real perch like a Salmo. I think a Jake, Ernie or Slammer like this would be hot on a clear lake when the bite is tough. One more color pattern I like is a black back fading to a white belly with silver or gold haloform on the sides.

I'd bite on some largemouth bass looking jerkbaits.

I would like to see more baits in pearl side, black top or blue green top. This is a classic from the past. I love shakespeare's old pearl with the blue-yellow-pink undertones. And I of course LOVE RAINBOW and I may make another post on that in the future...[:)]

Oh and I thought of one more color for the murk and mud that I sometimes fish in and I think it would be a popular river and and reservoir bait in areas where they actually have dirt instead of just sand and rock, and that color would be a chartreuse and white side with skunk top(need the spotting stripe if you use it toward dark in clearer waters)

If somebody shows up with that one let me know. When it gets murky and muddy I want something that would glow in the middle of the sun....and the black to contrast it when it tips over.

I like the old silver with a black back. I wish maina and bucher brought those colors back. Gold/black too. I wish HR would make a silver black bait but I have not seen it. I have a gold black one. I was at smokey's sunday and they have silver/black and gold black power probes now. A new smaller size too along with a bigger size. I would also like to see the lippy crawler made in a bigger size and silver/black. I did not see them in his store. I hope they are still made.

now for real, I just love a pearl pattern. They made the shad-colored supershadrap in this color (pearl flanks/orange belly/dark grey back and black dot on each flank) in Finland but now this color comes from Ireland and the pearl is white. I'm talking pearl like in pearl necklesses.

Also, more white-bellied perch with orange throats instead of yellow belly and red throats and darker ones. A real perch over here has a white belly, dark silver/gold body with black stripes ans a little brown/black in the back, and orange fins. Dark perch colors (but not black perch) do better than a pale perch. Maybe the deception is less effective with light-colored ones?

If “just a bit outside” was said in Bob Uker fashion, all is well. [:sun:] [:bigsmile:]

I want to see more hot tiger patterns. Orange and Green with good bars and bright orange bellys. Paint the top bright green or white. That would be a big plus to see the bait when turning it up and into a figure eight. The fish dont see the top of the bait anyways.

You can call it the new topside visual patterns to asset the angler to catch more fish.[:bigsmile:]

I'd love to see cranks and jerks in more nautural perch, bluegill and crappie patterns.

I'd also like to see more topwater lures with florescent colors on top so they are easier to see at dusk and dawn and in the chop!

I would like to see some jerk/glider baits with salamander colors. Being a Wisconsin River fisher, I'm looking for really bright colored glidders and bucktails as well.
