<p>Very interesting point David and worth some thought of course!!!!!!!! Ya know when ya think about it there is a huge difference between todays natural looking lures and the old ones from the past. Ya know come to think of it now back in the day when Rapala's first came out I remember remarking to someone how flashy and life like they looked with the gold scale on the sides and white bellies and black stripe on their backs. I can't remember Yesterday , but I remember the first Rapala I had…</p>

<p>I think you got jig tying down to an art! Those really look good Jordan. I just started trying my hand at multi colored bucktails. Mine do not look as neat as yours, but they have fooled a half blind crappie or two. Orange and yellow tied on a yellow 1/16oz. ball head jig is what I caught them on last week. </p>

<p>I've done some interesting reading lately, from the old "Bassmasters Collection," ca. 1980<br/>Back then, a lot of what we take for granted was still new. Much of the old lore, however, was intact and people were winning tournaments adapting it. The most interesting part though, is this: Bass and sunfish are such close kin, that what we learn about bass can be applied to sunfish.<br/><br/>One such tidbit relates to contrast. Specifically, the reversal of the traditional colors with the intent of attracting fish. Todays trends have been towards making a bait that mimics natural forage. The thinking here goes something like this - "The more real it looks, the better it will work."<br/>The problem with this logic is that natural forage is "designed" by Nature to HIDE from predators. So, if we duplicate it, aren't we actually masking it from our quarry?<br/><br/>This begs the question, "What if we reverse things so as to make the bait STAND OUT more, and so be seen more readily?" When you look at many of the older, lurid schemes seen on vintage baits, this is exactly what is going on. It is hard to believe that they appealed to fish at all. But they caught fish!<br/><br/>I think you may be on to something with these....</p> Nice work Jordan......tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2013-02-19:2036984:Comment:3544452013-02-19T21:39:10.192ZJeffrey D.

<p>I think they look prettty good. You might want to tie a few up and reverse the colors...ie, the white on the bottom. Usually minnows have a lighter belly and a darker back. And, it would be really interesting to see if it made any difference!</p>
<p>You are hooked it looks like it to me, enjoy it!</p>
