I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the color pattern name of a top raider that was brown with white belly and orange blade. I was told it was an older color pattern but I haven't found one like it and would like to know the name so I can search better. Thanks for your time.

I think squirrel has orange belly unless it came white originally

I think the gerbil pattern was a "bottom" raider ;-P

Thanks for all your feedback, the squirrel pattern is very similar with the exception of an Orange belly vs a white one. I think ill have to find someone to custom paint some for me. Thanks again

Just have them paint the whole bait orange. The bottom is all the fish sees anyways until the figure-8 and that's only till you take the bait subsurface.

But bear in mind that sound trumps color in topwater lures.
