For Jerry, Im not quite sure I know what you mean. I add things like Mica and pearlescent to some of the paints to make greens come from purples it has to do with light refraction like a prism. Its like adding thousands of little mirrors to the paint. Most of the Spoons out today use a Hex pattern blank because the Hex casts the light in many different directions. Real Gold and Silver buffed spoons give off lots of flash but that is not always the ticket. Super clear waters make more natural colors like pearl white and grays with light black and transparent colors over silver or Gold like Monkey Puke are really working these days. I shoot anything you want so color is not an issue with me. I would think Ocean fish would like colors that look like Herring or other forage. Im guessing Gold and Black must work pretty good . Also remember that fish dont see things like we do. I could never figure out what a chartruse spoon was suppose to look like to a fish. I just go with the flow any color you want works for me. Fishall
