nova Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 In order to repeat colors you have to keep track of what you add on a piece of paper. If the color turns out to be one that you want to repeat, then you transfer the recipe to a cookbook. As for the cucumber color; if you can post a picture I may be able to help. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilcraw Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 thanks nova I will try to get a pic, of the Zoom Cucumber seed color, as for writing down formulas, that is kinda a no brainer BUT most are just errors and don't really want to repete, when I find something I like I do put it in a note book, trouble there is there just isn't enough time in a year to fish all the colors I think might be good ones besides the Glad Company don't have enough baggies to hold all the colors you come up with while expermenting, heheheheheeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Jim that doesn't sound like the picture looks. What I see in the picture is 4oz plastic; 1 drop black, with fine green glitter and two types of black glitter. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thin legs on the lizard are throwing it off. If you look at the body, you see the green though. I wish I had a shot of one of mine but the recipe is very close to Zoom's bait.

nova Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Jim, I've never had the color in my hand so it's hard to tell. It could just be my "old" eyes; lol. It's not a color we use up here so I've not had a need to pour it as yet. I'll defer to you sir. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 You might try some as the bass seem to really love the color, especially on bed in the spring. Not sure what it is but they will eat that color when they will not others.... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Could be my monitor, but I'm seeing no color at all.......just glitter. I would think the small green glitter would actually turn the plastic a slight shade of green. Again though........different eyes, different monitors, different ages, different, etc. etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilcraw Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Jim I think you are right on the money:worship: I was REAL close but forgot about the white, now that you mentioned white DING DING DING that is what I was missing, Thanks a ton............ A PICTURE never looks the same as "in the hand" that is why I don't like posting pics....... Nova you are missing out not throwing that color up north, it should come with a disclaimer about injuries when used. Thanks Again Everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
