kickingfrog Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 This is not my preferred colour but these were reduced to $14.45 so I grabbed two with the intention to paint one if not both. 9 inch Grandma My first thought is cream or silver sides and a dark back. Thoughts and input welcomed.
fishnsled Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Try that colour first before you paint... ya never know! x2. I got a crazy colour of spoon for Lake Ontario suggested a few years ago and bought it. Sat in my spoon tray till this summer, wonder why I waited so long. It out produced every other colour of spoon I put out there. Went on the hunt for more of them and found them in one store and cleared them out. If painting, I'd go with a perch or walleye pattern. Silver and black combo sounds good as well.
mike rousseau Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Nothing wrong with that color... I've caugh lots of musky on similar color patterns... Actually I have a lire with the same pattern only smaller spots and it is in my top 10
mistyriver1 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 I wouldn't touch it either....
Spiel Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 I wouldn't touch it either.... And again!
Fisherman Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 For a second I thought you were going to give Grandma a face painting while she was nodding in the rocker.
BucktownAngler Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 thats a sweet colour. ill take it if you dont want it
GBW Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 For a second I thought you were going to give Grandma a face painting while she was nodding in the rocker. that's a weekend thing...
esoxansteel Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Love the colour, Take it to Balsam, and she will have teeth marks in 10 minutes
kickingfrog Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Posted September 10, 2012 Ok, I'll leave one alone and maybe just doctor the other a little. I did buy two jakes that were fish like in pattern and colouring. The plan is for a Lac Seul monster, or two, to eat 'em.
aplumma Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 I once painted Grandma and couldn't sit down for a few days... Art
outllaw Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 leave it. i have painted the color shown for decaDES. ITS A GREAT FALL COLOR.take it from a painter
cheaptackle Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Like others I had my doubts when I opened this post - wondered if a typo or a few words were missing (painting grandma's house, portrait, car etc.) Use 'em before ya paint 'em! You might be saving yourself a bit of effort when you find they work best as they are, and you can always paint later if they don't. Michael
Handlebarz Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Yep keep em awesome for stained water here also great for any body of water that's tea stained.
davey buoy Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 I had always thought that lures were painted a certain color or design because they were tested and worked in certain conditions. You just have to find the right conditions I would think. Short of making your own or getting a blank ,than painting it. Give it a try first as recommended.
aplumma Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Hand painting something that resembles the local forage can in most cases make for a more productive lure. Art

Yeah, but "worked" for manufacturers means that it was removed from the shelf and carried to the cash register
