Description
I was inspired to paint up some of these during our visit to Hawaii earlier this year. A day gecko jumped on my hand and was amazed to see the contrasting colors and got me thinking of how it would look like on a lure body. I then looked around for more day geckos and realized each gecko has a unique pattern and no two were really the same. Funny thing about this color pattern: they work very well on Mahi mahi, jack crevalle, albies and even speckled trout!
