kilrbil Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Does anyone have a formula for RI's color called houdini? It looks pretty similar to watermelon red/black/gold flake but that was too easy...lol and didn't work at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 most of ri's colors are pretty simple its the flake combinations that are different; so you might be right but there salt formula throws all of their colors off somewhat. post a pic and ill help out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTDuckman Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not sure which watermelon you are using, but the light watermelon from Del's will get you very close. Other watermelons tend to be too "straight" green. Del's is not that bright green color. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 The color is MF watermelon brown. Light on the color and it will look just like it. Here is a pic of the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrbil Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 This is the actual color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I've always used Wateremleon w/small red, black and gold holo. Most variations should work just fine. It is no magic color. Just another Watermelon Red which is about the most fish catchingest color. That bait in that color has had a designated rod for the last couple of years!

powerworm Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 looks like a laminate as well richard doesnt it? looks like a plain smoke pepper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugbyfisherman Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 The color looks very different on the beaver. I always add translucent yellow to pumpkinseed, hollow gold flake, fine red, larger black flake. I then add pearl powder to the color and pour the top part of the bait in that. looks like a laminate as well richard doesnt it? looks like a plain smoke pepper?

Frank Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 My color was macthed to the actual bait and if it had white background it would be the same. You have to add salt to get that look also. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's Zoom's version but according to their 2011 catalog Houdini is a watermelon red top with sand bottom.
