We currently offer the following patterns:

SHAD PATTERNS

Chartreuse Shad (aka Sexy Shad) – The hot color in 2007! Big finishes at Grand Lake and Lake Gunterville on the BASS Elite series. A great color anytime shad are the favored forage. When the bass are in post spawn the shad are spawning this is the color you want to have in your tackle box! We always add the dark shad kill spot in the anatomically correct position.

Natural Shad – Light grey back, pearl sides and a touch of chartreuse on the cheeks. A favorite of the pros who fish stained water.

Plain Jane – As ugly as a mud hen, but the perfect bait when you want a finesse jerk bait. Plain bone base, dark green back with a touch of yellow chartreuse. A killer with no bling!

Royal Shad – A favorite on Lake Guntersville and anywhere there is grass and big bass. Purple back, pearl sides, chartreuse belly and a touch of orange on the throat. Gold flake mixed in the clear coat.

Splatterback Texas Red – A favorite early spring bait in Texas. We like the splatter effect of the black on the red. A touch of chartreuse on the chest.

Table Rock Shad – A favorite among jerk baiters everywhere!

Norman Flake – Grey back fading into purple with pearl sides. A lot of violet flake. A great shad imitator.

SUNFISH PATTERNS

Sunfish are the main forage of bass in many water bodies, especially lakes that have grass. We have several different variations of sunfish colors because they work! All our sunfish colors have dark “fright lines” on the sides, which signifies a stress or fright response in sunfish. These lines signal come eat me!

Yellow Gill Sunfish – This pattern has lots of yellow, light green and gold highlights. We have had great success with this bait in clear and slightly murky water colors.

Amistad Special Red Ear Sunfish – A time tested favorite with the Amistad boys. A big sunfish meal!

Redear Sunfish Version 2 – A darker version of the popular redear sunfish. Dark brown fright bars. It’s pretty!

Magic Ear Sunfish – Lots of scale detail blended together to make one heck of a sunfish pattern. Lights up in the water.

G.I. Joe – With its dark green base coat, light brown side markings, pearl dusted belly and a dusting of blue metallic on the back, G.I. Joe makes for another great sunfish color from Amistad Tackle.

Natural Gill – Dark green back, dark green sides with black fright bars over metallic blue to create a great natural sunfish color. Black flake sprinkled in the epoxy coat to complete the illusion.

Muddy Gill – A good sunfish color for heavily stained or muddy water. Lots of chartreuse and dark green fright bars.
