??? HOW MANY DIFF. COLORS OF BLUE ???

[jmcfish10101973]

HI ALL I WAS LOOKING AT MY SHAD RAPS AND FOUND 3 OR 4 DIFF. COLORINGS OF BLUE.



***SR-9 IN BLUE SHAD SPECIAL I THINK***




***SR-9 IN BLUE ON FOIL BODY JAPAN THIS ONE HAS SILVER HOOKS***




***SR-9 IN BLUE NEW STYLE WITH RED GILL OR MONTH***




***SR-9 IN BLUE ON FOIL BODY WITH THE BLUE COLOR ONLY GOING HALF WAY DOWN THE SIDES***

THANKS FOR LOOKING

JOHN

P.S. DO THEY MAKE SHAD RAPS IN BLUE ON PEARL WHITE BODY.

John,

To my knowledge or maybe just opinion - there are only two "true" colors (or generations) of Blue(B) Shad Raps - those would be the two bottom photos on your original post. Within those first two - there will be some color variations - like with the "Gen. One" some have red "lips" and some have orange "lips" - and If we were to start splitting hairs on this - I'm sure variations will be found when you compare lures manufactured at different countries.

I don't think that any of the site experts have verified if the top lure with the "shad dot" is factory or just a Blue Shad Rap with a dot painted on it? It would be interesting to see what Bulldog21 (shad rap expert) or Jason, Bacon, Ted or one of the other site experts have to say about this.

I will have to dig through my shad rap box - but I don't think they made a Blue with Pearl Belly SR - or at least nothing outside of a prototype or special.
