Here's the picture.
Powder painting some jigs and I'm trying to mix some colors to come up with something that represents the color of a Sand Flea. Pictures online show a grayish/pinkish lavender color that fades to a whitish color on the underside. Below is a picture of what I have come up with to date. I think I'm close on the main shell color, but would like to hear what you folks think. I'm thinking that maybe a splash of a dark copper would help. What say you folks?
The females have an orange egg sack under their belly. As jigs go I have only caught a few pompano on them but my best luck has been on pink, orange, and pink jighead with orange and pink nylon hair.
Dawg, I'd say you just about nailed it.Quote:

As you suggested a splash of dark copper will make it perfect.

I can add the dark copper, but the mustache it going to be tough to duplicate. :congratulatory:
Looks more like a 'sprinkling of grey' ;-) lol
Orange is good on a jig though!
Going to tip these jigs with orange as soon as I get some paint that is ordered.Quote:

When I saw the post my first thought was if you could get a collar on one you would have to use like 2lb test for a leash.
