BassnRandy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Anybody able to get me close too G.Y's on this? I seem to be way to brown. I don't have to be perfect but at least in the same zip code. I am using M-F cinnamon so far. Seems like G.Y's has a pink caste in the brown or a lite redish tinge compared to what i am using. I could be wrong but i am definatly off. Randy Oh I got the blue flake part right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.J. Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 My M-F cinnamon seems to be dead on. I put just a touch of salt in the plastic which seems to help the color some. You can also add a drop of red. This will give it the reddish kind of tint you are talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmblack Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Try 4 oz plastic 8 drops LC brown 2 drops LC red I use it to make cinnamon/purple flake by Yamamoto. It is dead on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassnRandy Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thanks. I looked up several cinnamon baits and theyreally vary from company to compnay. Some are almost gray colored. I will work off the brown. i use it alot and if I don't have to buy another color it won't bother me a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmblack Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah, try my recipe for Yamamotos, cause I thought it was right on. I agree cinnamon is different by all makers. I will tell you though, for what its worth, the recipe that I gave you does catch fish. I have a customer of mine that uses it regularly and I fish with hoim and he does very well on it. Post a pic when you get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Check out my website and look for "blue worm" color. Is that what you are looking for? www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassnRandy Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks everyone! I made three batches last night and was not happy with any of them. Then i was doing inventory this morning before church and it hit me as i looked at a bottle. This was 2oz of plastic. 2 drops L.C brown 2 drops M-F earthworm I also use Dels night crawler. They are really close each with it's own bit of pink but just the right brown. This is the one I will be going with. Will do a salt pour tonight and then post pictures of both. Figure i will have to up it a couple of drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, you will get it matched perfectly and then one day you find that Yamomoto's don't match your baits because their lack of quality control has let the color change. I say this because when I moved in 2003, I ended up mis-placing some of my Yamamoto baits. They were in a cardboard box placed inside a large plastic rubbermaid storage container and kept in a dark basement. The baits did not show any signs of moisture absorbtion but the colors were off some. Cinnamon (176) was one of them. It is a lot darker and more gray now.

BassnRandy Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Actually mine doesn't match Yamamoto's. It's a hair more brown. BUT It is what i think a great cinnamon should look like. that being said i think that is how alot of colors come about. If it sells well and catches fish i will be happy. if not i see my self throwing it alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
