are the honeycomb ones sealed decals?

One of my old favorite color patterns of yesteryear looks alot like the middle one in the third photo down(the metallic green one) except it had the honeycomb pattern on the back and no black back, but the coloration is dead on.

They all look great Big M!

The scale pattern is sprayed thru a piece of net stretched across the bait.   The bait you like has a dark camo green back with some iridescent green misted over it, looks much better in hand than in that pic.   

Thanks for the kind words

Joe, if you are talking about the photo finish, I know how it's done but that way more time than I'm willing to spend on a bait.   I think the best baits look similar to the prey, not an exact match.

Big M,

When (well I hope) I get better at painting, I want to make some kick phanny color schemes like yours. Your work is superb, as always. 8)
