Just trowing this out there.Does anyone have any 1/2oz. #68(wild shinner color)they would want to sell? or if someone might know where to find them. They are also known as the Sam Rayburn brown eye by the locals.

TNX. for the info moorecat. that is a hard to find color

 

[moorecat]

it is said to be a hard to find color but in all honesty most east Texas tackle shops carry them. the color was discontinued for a number of years but was brought back a couple years ago.

there is a slight difference between the old Wild eye shiner and the newer ones, the newer ones paint is a little brighter and has a larger area of scale pattern, some of the old ones have solid color backs and no scale pattern at all

also, ask for the copper wild eye shiner, personally i like it more
