CMARTIN269 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Does anybody know the color Paul Elias was using in his great win. I've tried to search the color but doing a search is near impossible with everything you have to go through . I can't get anywhere.I would like to here comment on the color. and I apologize if this has been discussed in depth before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuttem Jack Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Here is a video of Paul's win. I'm not sure but the color you're lookinig for may be on the video. ESPN - Bassmaster.com: Exclusive video of Elias' record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senkoman85 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 It's in the video on 3:17 and 5:49. The lure is a Luhr-Jensen Hotlips Express, and the color looks like a Yellow with a Chartreuse Back. Black "kill spot" and red gills seem to finish the color out. But that's just a guess from watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senkoman85 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) 6:09 to 6:14 is a peak into his tackle box, and he pulls out a Chartreuse/Black Back in the same model. 9:09 is the same model bait, in a fire tiger pattern. From the BPS website: Luhr Jensen Hot Lips Express T.A. Casting Crankbait So far it seems like colors: 28 (crystal Chartreuse shad), 79 (crystal firetiger), and 83 (crystal chartreuse/blue) Edited May 26, 2008 by senkoman85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMARTIN269 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thanks for the imput I had heard it was a Mann's bait in a custom color called ol' homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senkoman85 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I didn't watch the entire video, but after seeing the bait 3 times, and seeing that all 3 times that they were Luhr-Jensen Hotlips, well...we know he was at least using that. Maybe he did switch up to the new Mann's "Go2" series. I would assume that ol' homer is a chartreuse based color From a press release: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benton B Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) I never saw the bait he discribed in the coverage. I remember him using a chart/blue backed Mann's 30+ yrs ago to win a tourny. Edited May 27, 2008 by benton B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Smith Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I recommend to watch the video again slowly.... pause it if you can.... He did catch fish on the hot lips but at 9.08 (pause it here) it clearly shows a Mann's 20+ hanging out of the hawg's mouth.... At 16.18 he mentions throwing the 20+...... At 17.56 he mentions the fish swallowing the 20+. Now on the video it is hard to tell if it is a 20+ but I see no reason Not to believe him......... I have had four requests for this color since the video came out........ Also since the Falcon tournament Tackle Warehouse started carrying 20+ and Jelly worms.........

senkoman85 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 You're right, I didn't watch much past that. But earlier on in the video, it's a Luhr Jensen Hotlips. So I guess both were productive that day, and clearly he used both products to catch fish. BJ, do you have a picture of the pattern??

BJ Smith Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 It looks kinda like this one...... except where you see black, replace it with a florescent green.......... I like to add red eyes also........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrinehart Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I am not sure if it is the same one Paul uses, but Poes made a bait that we referred to locally as Ole Homer. It had a green back, chartreuse sides and a red throat. I can not remember if it had a kill spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Ball Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 There's a pic of the bait on page 112 in Bassmaster Mag. You can't see the colors on the cover pic, but can tell its a mann's. That vid was awesome ! You can see the Mann's crank on two diff fish catches, in the mag he said he used the 20+ and hot lips, along with the big jelly worm. Thanks for putting that vid up, its good to see diff sides of these guys. T-Ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
