Mallard Lures - Hand Crafted Top Water Baits made in Orlando, Florida

Standard Colors These are the standard color schemes I use most often. Since the lures are hand painted there are variation in the design from lure to lure. I also adjust color schemes slightly depending on the lure style.
Florida Shiner	Silver head and scales with a dark green back over a pale yellow belly with red gills and throat. Sometimes with an orange breast. A classis Florida color pattern that can't miss.
Orlando Shiner	Gold head and scales with a dark green back and pale yellow belly. Orange breast with red gills and throat. A local variation of the classic shiner pattern that works well in clear or cloudly water.
Toho Shiner	Gold head and scales with a dark brown back and pale yellow belly. Orange breast with red gills and throat. Graet for dark or cloudly water.
Florescent Shiner	Gold head and scales with a florescent green back back and florescent yellow belly. Florescent orange breast with red gills and throat. This is a moderized version of the classic Florida paint scheme. Best in the evenings or early mornings.
Florida Shad	Gold head and scales over a black body. Yellow breast with red and yellow gills and red throat. Good low light bait, another Florida classic.
Golden Minnow	Gold head and scales over a light florescent green back. Florescent yellow sides and orange belly. This is my own creation, pictures do not do it justice.
Yellow-spotted	The classic yellow body with red and black spots, great for fresh or salt water.
Spotted Ape	A popular variation of the Flordia Shiner, this pattern was used by Egar, Boone, South Bend, Heddon, Lure Jensen and others.

Custom Painting The following paint schemes are available for special order on any lure or a a custom repaint on virtually any new or used lure.
Florida Shiner Paint Schemes $10.00 Jim Pfeffer made this paint scheme famous, but it has been copied and modified by a number of other Florida lure makers and even few large manufacturers. The variation above, called Spotted Ape, is most often associated with the Nip-I-Diddee made by South Bend, then later by Heddon and Lure Jensen. While I only make wooden top water plugs I am willing to paint Florida Shiner or Spotted Ape schemes on virtually any lure including the 6" Rouge above, plastic crank baits and I have even done some Sammy style lures, they are awesome.

Gator Bait Paint Scheme $10.00 This is a novelty paint scheme that I have seen done by several makers including Jim Pfeffer. I not seen any done in recent years though. Like the Spotted Ape, this scheme can be done on virtually any bait
