Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | I've painted a few of my dawgs with just some Testers model paint and it held up pretty good.
I think the paint melted in to the rubber a bit....
The one dawg that was a white glow in the dark. I painted the tail and eyes bright pink and have boated a couple of nice fish since than, and the fish do notice it alot more than before. Thanks,
Jerome |

Location: Nowheresville, MN | I did just that. A red sharpie makes an awesome orange when it dries. I did this on the sucker pattern which has a white/siler belly. The ink actually penetrates/soaks into the plastic and has yet to fade. Red also turns motor oil into a funky brown. |

Location: Wausau | Try RIT dye for clothing - just soak for a few hours and done. Only draw back - the color selection...no bright orange - just sunshine orange. |

| I want to say that I remember some of the "show exclusive" Bulldogs from some of the 2005 musky shows had painted on patterns. The only problem I could see happening by doing it yourself is using a paint or marker that still gave off an odor in the water the first few times it was used. |

Location: Altoona, IA | I have used Spike-It on several dawgs, it will bleed into the bait over time but works really well. It will turn a white/glow dawg reddish orange (using red Spike-It of course), or the really cool one is using the red dye on a black/glow tail dawg, it made it look just like a glitter oil orange dawg without the glitter. The black actually turned green! |

| If you use a tail dip from Colorite, it will dry in seconds and not bleed into the bait. It holds up pretty well over time too. |
