Recommended Posts

as with most creative skills a recipe book only gets you someone elses results not your own i usually tweak evry recipe sevral dozen times until i get what i would call perfect then i pass a recipe on to someone else and they do they same thing and so on...you see where i am going? plus every size bottle makes a different size drop and every colorant manufacturers colors are all a little different and sometimes alot different but the same name!!

Del's site has a nice one as well. I tend to agree with Jon on this one. Get your colors and play around. I'd rather have my own green pumpkin than Zoom's, Culprit's, NetBait's, etc.

I think a lot of guys spend hours trying to match these other colors because they think the fisherman will only use them if they are exact color matches. Bunk!!!! Plus, I never think anyone gets the "perfect" recipe. It is always in the eyes of the beholder and we are never underwater looking at the bait thinking about eating it. We have no clue if that little bit of blue flake we added caused the strike or what it was.

The bait style and action has far more to do with fish catching than an exact color match. Most of the time, the fish are "seeing??" a bait due to the contrast in the surroundings so black or junebug will catch equally as well when a dark color is working. Very rarely have I had where a certain color had to be used. Check the pros, the guys that fish for a living, they use "dark" and "light" colors with little variation from those.

Jump off of the recipes you see and make your own, just like you are going to do with your baits!!!
