pigdestroyer Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I want to post the baits that I designed a while back online for sale. Just looking for a little help/recommendations on colors. I want to start out with about 10 basic colors. Any info on which brand of colors to use/purchase would be appreciated. I don't need your recipes, just the colors and brands used. I haven't had the time or money to purchase and test them all. Thanks in advance for any replies. Here are the colors I want to start with: Watermelon Green Pumpkin Junebug Oxblood Black/Blue ...any other red/purple recommendation?

jimcline Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 If you're making sticks, I would recommend a watermelon/purple flake combo. I catch almost as many bass on them as green pumpkin. JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 watermelon & Green Pumpkin both in a red flake and candy.. what about some browns ?? Jim, Purple flake can be very good. ( used in candy or by it self ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdooradvantage Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 You can find those colors at Lure Craft, Bears Baits, MF, and Del's. I use colors from all of them and have found that they all serve a purpose. Hope this helps and feel free to PM me for any additional info. Jeff......

pigdestroyer Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks for all of the suggestions. Can anyone give suggestions on what brand to use for each color, or what they found (from experience) works best for the colors listed. e.g. Watermelon - MF 3342 Watermelon (non-bleed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTfishingrods Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Black is where its at! Always my go to color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 MF's Watermelon Brown with large black flake (62) is a killer craw bait color. Especially for smallmouths. Also, three inch sticks in same color dropshotted is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 If only it was a simple as black,and white.I could save my back hauling around all the different colored lures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTfishingrods Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 It would be a whole bunch cheaper and easier than having to stock all them colors and making up new ones. But what fun would that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
