I was wondering if any of you would be willing to post some pics or PM me some of your favorite custom colors you have had made in the past. Looking to increase the arsenal and need some inspiration!

I almost exclusively fish my own custom bucktails and usually fish with some very conventional patterns. However, I do fish some heavily pressured waters in the Metro area and have come up with a couple customs to try to show the fish something a little different from time to time. Here is a small sampling of some lures that fish have showed interest in.

I'm going to have to show you how to tie your own. Then the only limiting factor is your imagination.

Seems like you have been bitten hard by the muskie bug lately? I suppose catching a near state record would do that to a fellow?

In 2009 & 2010 this one kicked butt in June & July on LSC.

Bait looks a lot like the Bondy "redhorse" color.

Slime King - 1/7/2013 7:20 AM Bait looks a lot like the Bondy "redhorse" color. ;)

The current Bondy Redhorse was not the original color. The original Redhorse had 2 or 3 different color flakes (pink, black, & I think silver) in it but according to Jon the manufacture stopped making the flake he used or there was a problem with color bleed so he had to change it. In early 2011 I had Jon make a custom color for me & my buddy (perl w/red flake). That color is now the current Redhorse.
