Culchie Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Just wondering if anyone has attempted to duplicate the color "Crawberry". Just ordered some molds and don't have a large quantity of plastic to experiment with. Would like to make different kinds of lures in that color or close to it. Thanks.

hawghunterbaits Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I would start with 1/3rd cup plastic, add 2-3 drops watermelon and flake should be close! Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbass Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Culchie, What brand of colors do you have? I may have a recipe for something close, but different brands produce different colors. Zbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm no expert at this, but I see Green Pumpkin and maybe a drop of orange? orange, green chartreuse and black flake. Hey Nova:worship:, where are you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbass Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I was thinking of green pumpkin with a drop or two of amber yellow. 152nd, you may be right about the orange though. Might have to try this one for real. Zbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) This is a tough one. Looks like Lc green pumpkin(start with 2 drops in 4 oz) and 4 drops of LC chartreuse or flo yellow. There looks to be some sort of yellow in it. You will have to adjust the green from there. Don't forget, you'll get some color transfer from the glitter as well. www.novalures.com Edited August 23, 2008 by nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Yah, thats a tough-ee. I see light green pumpkin with Orange or copper flake black & green flake too maybe?? should have the glasses on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culchie Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I use LC coloring. I may have to order some more colors. I'm sure they have new colors since the last time I molded any lures. So I guess it will be trail and error with small amounts. If I think I have anything close, I will let you know. Don't know if I'll have the chance to try it until after the dreaded family vacation though. Thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorshane Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I was thinking like Nova. But remember if you use flor. yellow it needs to be mixed before heating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdooradvantage Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Try 4 drops green pumkin, 1 drop watermelon, and 1 drop yellow. Then add you flake. That should get you close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Just to make it more confusing, I'll add my 2 cents........ The base color that I see in your picture looks EXACTLY like another color that I had on my chart. 4 ounces of plastic.... 4 drops Lure Craft Amber Brown 2 drops Lure Craft Golden 1/8 teaspoon Green Hi-lite ....then add your orange, green, and black flake. Then again......different minds, different monitors, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culchie Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 There's one more color I need to buy. What do you use for the Green Hi-Lite ?? Don't know if it will make much difference at all. But it's actually RED flake in the lure, though the picture looks ORANGE. Hope you all have a great weekend.

nova Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Highlites give a sort of sheen to the baits. They are a lot of fun to use and you can make some very interesting effects with them. remember to use just a very little. (it's a powder) www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I was in Gander Mnt. tonite and could not find that color of bait. I wanted to see it in the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
