BSUBASS Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I just started pouring about a month ago. The bug has bit me hard and I'm pouring all the time. I have a problem though. I'm using lurecraft coloring and can't get the motor oil to look like motor oil. It looks like a washed out green pumpkin. I've tried mixing some chartreuse and brown with it to get that hue but still haven't succeeded. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Can't beat Del's or MF's motor oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmblack Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I usually pour 4 oz plastic. How many drops of MF motoroil do I need to get a good Motoroil color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGOTWORMS Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Well that depends on what you think a good motoroil is supposed to look like. The best thing about pouring your own baits is that you get to decide what the best shade of a color is and what if any sparkles go best with it. One thing i learned is the store bought shade of your favorite color can often work a lot better in a slightly different shade. Start with a few cups of plastic and see where you wind up.
