It's insane that Sebile (Pure Fishing) doesn't make that color anymore. They say it's too expensive but with the pricetags we're seeing in the shops, their profit margin has to be up in the stratosphere! The glow in the dark paint is useless anyway if you ask me, if they just made a white one or a pearl one we'd all be back in business. The guy from Red Top told a buddy of mine that they sold something like $20,000 worth of that color stick shad over a two year period--if that doesn't tell them that it's worth it to revisit and perhaps revise the color, than nothing will.
On the subject of Stick Shad color, I find that the herring color (Blue/pink/white w/ spots) seems to catch just as well as white.
AND if you want to paint your sticks, sand them liberally with 150 grit and spray them with Zinsser's BIN primer. It's a shellac-based white, it dries fast and sticks very aggressively to any tough surface. I dip raw jigheads in it and it holds up better than powder paint! Epoxying them will only make it harder to recoat. Just fish the plug and give it a fresh coat of BIN when it starts to look nasty. Easy, tough and effective.
