Just cruious which pattern people like better. I doubt the fish care too much but, the muskies don't have the money. I have three basic patterns for some of my simple designs, FireTiger, small wedge pattern, large wedge pattern. If you don't look at the color, which pattern would look best to you if you were walking through a show or store?

Thanks,
James

So far it looks like the big scale wedges get the vote. I think that pattern looks better in teh water too. Not sure if I should leave that pattern as is or sharpen the edges. I personally don't like sharp paint lines as I have yet to see a fish with them

With that said, I think from a selling point of view the sharp lines look better on some baits.
