Yamamoto Cinnamon Color

[mark poulson]

I am trying to match the Yamamoto cinnamon color that he uses for his cinnamon/purple flake hula grubs.

It's like a lighter, milk chocolate color. Almost like there's some white mixed with the brown.

I'm stumped.

Does anyone here have any ideas, or know of a manuf. who makes a plastic colorant that matches that color?

I think Alsworms posted a recipe for it a while ago. Check out the search engine for it. I would but I'm off to bed!

Roger,

Whose colorants are you using? I need to add salt for weight, and to get the fish to hold on a little longer, so I have to factor that in. I may flour the salt and use it to take the place of the white colorant.

M-F's cinnamon color is almost dead on for yamamoto's cinnamon. Add a tiny bit of salt and you have it. The purple flake will change the color a bit, as noticed by the difference between Yamamotos #176 cinnamon, and their cinnamon/purple.

Del also posted a picture of an Ika type bait in another post that was right on the money for 221. The plain cinnamon with black flake has gotten darker over the years and is no where near as brown looking as the 221. It almost looks like a dark smoke that is lightened by the salt in the bait.

All Dell's, very hot color here.

Thanks for saying the color has changed. I thought I was crazy.

The cinnamon/black flake I have is tranlucent, with a slight grey look. It's their #176

The cinnamon/black and purple flake I have, #221, is totally opaque and looks nothing like their color chart. Even the skirts, which have no salt, are opaque.

I'm scratching my head, and other places, trying to figure that color out.

Thanks Smallie.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Del nailed it!

I'll have to get some of his night crawler, and give it a try.
