i have an rc3.5 in the "golden shad" color that i'm looking to get repainted for fishing lsc any suggestions? gobby, minnow, perch, walleye
white pearl shad
I like goby when dragging bottom with deep divers. The RC 3.5 only dives 0-4 ft. so I would go with a perch pattern, bluegill/sunfish, baby bass (smallmouth), and/or a shad pattern. I really don't think you can go wrong with any combination of green, orange, yellow, purple, white/silver, and a little red as an accent color.

That's not too bad. I'd make a few "tweeks" to it. I'll send you a pm.
sounds good to me. "tweeks" are good
One bait that has always been my "go to" on LSC is the Fat Free Shad in the "Copper Bream" color/pattern. I don't think they make them in that color/pattern anymore. If I get some time I will take a photo and post it here on the board. Also the Bill Norman DLN in the Sun Perch color/pattern has been good to me also. They both work on LSC and Erie.
BD ;D
BD - I'd like to see what the copper breem color looks like. Post a pic!
Yeah, post a pic. I'll see if I can copy it. I love a challenge.
Take a look at some of these. http://www.livetargetlures.com/SmallmouthBass.html
Those LiveTarget lures are insane
Those Koppers Livetarget lures are nice. But at $11.49 a piece......well that's better than Lucky Craft and way nicer as far as the looks are concerned. Has anyone used these things yet??? I may have to try a couple. Just add it to the other hundreds of dollars I am going to spend in the next few months on stuff I probably won't really need.
BD ;D
I've been looking for the Copper Bream pattern, even searched the discontinued colors...no luck. I did find Coppernose Bluegill though. Could that be the name BD?

If it was a Fat Free Shad then yes. When they were first making them, they called it "Copper Bream". They may have changed it to Coppernose Bluegill. I do have some on my work bench that are still brand new in the package in the fingerling size. I will have to check it out and get back to you on that. I will also take a picture of it and post it when I get a chance. I found a whole bunch of them at Dick's last year and bought all they had. Haven't seen any of that pattern as of late.
BD ;D
Something like this?
I have tried the LiveTarget. They are pretty sweet looking. I bought the green craw one and fished it up in the UP on a camping trip and caught a few smallies. But I did see it put some good fish in the boat in the Spring time on Lake St. Clair. Haven't tried any of the other color patterns.
I have found over the few years of fish Lake St.Clair and the other great lakes that MI has to offer. Is that you just can't beat a color from the Strike King Sexy Family. Or one of there new craw colors Chart. Belly Craw, or the Orange Belly Craw.

That's it!!! 8) That bait has caught fish on every body of water I have fished since they started selling that pattern as on of the Bomber Excalibur baits from it's first inception. It actually started out as Fat Free Shads smaller of the two sizes that originally came out. I think there was a 7 which was the original Fat Free Shad that Mark Davis won a Classic with which dove from 7 to 12 feet. The size 6 dove from 5 to 9 feet. It only came in the size 6 at first. Then with the inception of the fingerling size which was a size 5 and then the size 4 which was the Fat Free Shad Fry. When ever I see this bait in a store on a rack, I buy it. You never know when they will stop making a bait. I have many of the old autograph lures and I still throw them. They work every bit as good as any other more expensive crankbait. However, they are rare now and will cost as much as a Lucky Craft even when bidding for them on eBay or any other auction site.
BD ;D
maybe we can get a BULK discount on copper bream repaints from someone hmmmmm ::)

Let me know who that is. I may want in on it...lol.
Leave it alone. I'd hit that
I got a KVD signature series rogue I retired. I wish I could find one of those somewhere, that lure caught some fish. I would guess it's 12-14 years old?

Keep an eye on eBay. I have bought several from sellers there. You can also find some of the other signature baits from Pradco that have now been discontinued for years. That bait I believe was in the color "clown". I still have several and do throw them still. It is just a fish catching bait especially on Lake St. Clair.
BD ;D

We may not often agree politically, but I'm with ya on that one bro...I love Fat Free shads. And the old discont'd colors are my favs. They used to make a sweet blue back on white/silver that was awsome, I bought every one I could find. They are great on the River. One year I probably spent a grand buying FFS's. And the signature series...I would not mind finding some of those in some old tackle shop covered in dust.

So what has you and I disagreeing politically got to do with this subject. You carry a grudge or something. ::)
BD ;D
No grudge, I just never forget a political argument. Nor do I ever lose them! ???

Good!! I always forget political arguements as they are most insignificant. No one loses a political arguement. Back to fishing....after all that is what we are logged on for.

I have a new puppy that ate my copy of "How to win friends and influence People". At the rate he is growing he might have eaten several other copies! ;D
I must be slow or something this morning Dan...........or missing something here. I don't get it!!! ??? Aren't we supposed to be talking about crankbait colors that work on LSC??? ???
BD ;D
well, after some a few (lost count at No.4) cold beers at liberty street brewing, and checking out some repaints i brought and looking at some of j's pictures four hours later i came to the conclusion that almost anything will catch a bass in LSC (except 8" pink stickbaits) so i ended up leaving a couple cranks for jcheetam paint for the up coming season. i'll post the new baits when i get'em, hey who knows maybe i'll meet with jc a the brewery again to pick them back up. hmmmm beeeers
later
