COLOR NAME: G-Fleck Blue Shore Minnow
COLOR CODES: GFXBL
LURE(S) PICTURED: Baby Torpedo (361GFXBL), Zara Spook (9255GFXBL)
DESCRIPTION: White body with light blue face and spine, silver ribs. The body is covered with flitter (glitter or 'specks') and coated with a glossy, irridescent finish. The 'G' stands for 'guanine' (pronounced gwä'nen) which is a "organic base of the purine family" and "...is said to account for the iridescence of fish scales and the white, shiny appearance of the skin of many amphibians and reptiles", according to the Columbia Encyclopedia. This is a cataloged color for this lure; c. 2000's. (Picture of Zara Spook courtesy of Michael Anderson!)
