I use mostly pearls, irridescent, and transparent colors from createx and their wicked line. wicked detail sepia is indispensable. Fluorescent sunburst and yellow are also good for base coats or the bottom of many baits.

Special scape finish on this shiner. -
Free hand spots, yellow, red, violet and blue highlights, and extra shine on this one. -
I do this one from ghost to dark. -
This one looks great with a yellow bucktail siwash. -
My first attempt at a spanish mackerel. the scale detail is purposefully finer. -
The finish on these lures appears 3 dimensional and has holographic shine. -
7" saltwater rig. Blue back herring sporting highlights of yellow, red violet and blue. -
This 7 inch mackerel is thru-wired. -
My tribute to the old favorite spoon, but with my own touches. This has very subtle gold scaling and a darkened brow and back. -
Developed this pattern for rocky areas. the yellow is fluorescent yellow muted by a little pearl white. Just making it up as I go. -
This is a watermelon with red flake craw. It is a ghost, but the color can be deepened by additional layers. D2t on all these baits. but thinking hard on adding art resin to the arsenal. Any thoughts? -
Just starting with craws. This one is loaded with pearls. The pinkish color is fluorescent. -
This one is very translucent. -
This is an early spring color bluegill with copper pearl on top -
Here is the same bait in natural light. -
Been working with fluorescent colors in a more realistic application. This one is lit up by a pale single uv led key chain. Not sure if the regular lighting one was publish as well. These are my first uploads. I will follow up next. -
One of my first bluegill pattern. The slot bass won't leave it alone from april to july. Slot bass in nh are the bass on trophy managed ponds. any bass between 17 - 19 inches gets released. Only 1 over 20" can be kept so 17 and up are slot bass. Yeah, its's a blast! -
Decided to publish a smb in dark. Still learning. -
Lots of custom colors, layers, and pearls. This is the pale version. Dark one to follow. -
Createx paints. Been doing this pattern for about 6 months. -
My first attempt at airbrushing. It was done about a year ago using a Badger 150 which I bought with compressor and paint $90. Hate to think what I have invested now! -
Another possibility is createx pearl copper.

great post and comprehensive chart!

Youtube Video Showing How I Make My Balsa Lures From Start To Finish

Absolutely thru wire balsa lures. Balsa has no grip strength with small screws even if you superglue the hole. A simple hack saw blade glued to wood works for a jig. You need to add some weight to balsa anyway. Why not add some badly needed strength too.
