nova Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Welcome to the addiction. What you should do is figure out which colors you like to fish and start with those colors first. Check the sticky as well for recipies that you like; the colors will be listed there that you will need to make those colors. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I've been pouring for a little over 2 years and I am just now to the point that I need to order more of Del's light watermelon (I started with a 2oz bottle. I use this color in most of the baits I make. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 It all depends on how many baits you want to make. As said before; a bottle can last a long time as you only use a few drops to get most of the colors you want to make. Start with the basics. Black; green pumpkin; pumpkinseed; watermelon; white; yellow; amber and/or oxblood; blue. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charkins Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 You might want to get some scents (crayfish, shad, etc) and some glitter to spice things up. Probably need some red coloring too.
