Finally Did a Shad Pattern

Marc David · 03-06-11, 08:16 PM

After much headache with trying to come up with a Natural Shad, I've decided to stick with this one. Please let me know what you guys honestly think, it gave me a lot of trouble.

Also did a few of these for a Relay For Life event that contacted me for donating some door prizes.

It's perfect. In fact both colors look great!

CamG · 03-06-11, 08:34 PM

That shad pattern is very nice!

Embrey · 03-06-11, 09:31 PM

i like that...

bassboogieman · 03-06-11, 09:46 PM

Too damn pretty to fish with.............. The only negative I'd mention - and it's totally a personal opinion - is that I see a lot of painter's paint over the bill, and I would prefer to see baits I purchase not have that. Other than that, your color is fantastic as is the finish.

bamabassman · 03-06-11, 10:21 PM

i have to agree with boogieman. TOO PRETTY TO USE! i too like the fact you didn't paint the bill. as for the pattern, PERFECT. i also like the other ones too.

AUFred · 03-06-11, 11:01 PM

beautiful job

Justin2729 · 03-06-11, 11:06 PM

thats awesome id buy them all day.

IAFrogger · 03-06-11, 11:19 PM

Please forgive my ignorance... I am a real novice when it comes to crankbaits.... but, are these crankbaits that you have redone the finish ie. Lucky Craft repainted, or do you build these cranks from the ground up yourself?

Also are you selling these or other crankbaits that you have done? ..... these look awesome !!!!

Marc David · 03-07-11, 12:17 AM

Boogie, no problem, I know what you mean. Cranks with less paint on the bills have a much cleaner look

IA, I don't think I could ever build a crank. This one is a LC RC 1.5 I painted. I sell a couple every now and then.

Thanks guys for the comments!

nofearengineer · 03-07-11, 02:11 PM

Those bluegill ones are just insane.

I'm with the "too pretty to use" crowd.

Jrob78 · 03-07-11, 02:54 PM

Fantastic work! I am in awe of you guys with that kind of talent!

Carver · 03-07-11, 03:05 PM

The shad is outstanding

bassinbob · 03-07-11, 05:10 PM

Dang if I was a bass I'd sure try to eat one of those shads...

CamG · 03-07-11, 09:02 PM

Now Marc, don't forget about those craw patterns when you get a minute. I will happily supply the baits!

MallenManson · 03-07-11, 09:09 PM

Fantastic work Marc. And while they are definitely pretty....I'd fish em!

everettvet · 03-08-11, 12:13 AM

Nice job. I would have to have two of each color and style so I could fish with one and sit the other one on the shelf!

Bubba_Bruiser · 03-08-11, 12:41 PM

You have some sick painting skills Marc. I would post my paint jobs, but most people don't appreciate crayons like me and I tend to get out of the lines.

WaffleJaw · 03-08-11, 12:52 PM

Awesome,awesome job Marc!
