The fins do come off looking a little funny in those pics. It's probably a case of the plastic looking different colors depending on the lighting. I like the looks of the brown trout pattern, and I think that green shad would actually make a trout imitator if all you did was put some black spots on it.
I remember buying my castaic hardbait (the polyestrene one) in like 1998 or 99. It was the last one Dean at Angler's Outpost at Santa Margarita had, and $50 seemed insane. That bait put a 13.8 and a 15.4 in the boat for me last year. I'll sell it to you for 10 grand :9
