Title: Tomato
Post by: beer980 on October 16, 2011, 07:24:14 AM
Here is my take on the Tomato color which has become a hot bait recently on Lake Fork. I call it Charlie's Cherry Maters in honor of my step father. We grew a lot of varieties of tomatoes when I was growing up and this color seemed fitting of his name. For those not from the country maters is pronounced may-ters.

This color is on the Orange side of Red depending on how strong the light is or the shape & size of the bait but looks more Red then it is in the picture. If it were a real tomato it would be a few days short of being ripe. There is a small portion of large Black flake with a good amount of Red and Black string glitter tossed in.

PM sent.
I will be updating the pictures soon. I did a little playing in the shop this weekend and created a White with Blue flake. I shot the new White with the Tomato color on The Beave Bug and it turned out real good.

Well here are two updated pictures for an improvement but still not quite there with the true color.
