MadManz Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Guys, A wise man told me to expect to use a lot of plastic and make TONS of mistakes when trying to match a color. ALL TRUE BTW.... However he did not tell me how BLEEPING mad I would be when going through all this plastic and still not getting the color I want. It is a BLEEPING good thing Black and what ever fleck is popular here in Ohio I will have lots of it!. So I turn to the ever wise TU crowd for help. I am using ALL Bears colors to achieve Rootbeer Pepper Green from Zoom. Anyone PLEASE if you can get me a recipe..... I have a LOT of BLACK/green flake baits Thanks!

jesse1378 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 if you are using all bears colors, a good place to start would be bears forum. start with 4 oz of plastic and ad drops one at a time until the color is what you want. write down. then flake at will sometime the flake changes the color so you could always flake first if you wanted. i have his rootbeer color as well and i'm sure you could match it on your fisrt try. if you cant post on bears forum somebody already has a recipe i'm sure.

Looks like base color Amber Brown, not sure if he carries that color. LC does if he doesn't and that would give you a darn close match prior to flake being added...

Bass-Boys Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I agree,, try. only 1 drop of root beer. to 4 oz. to start. if thats to dark add 2 oz. more of new plastic. also it does look like the Amber Brown from LC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBaits Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 you really need to talk to Powerworm on here and he should be able to help you get this. He is a wizard for figuring out recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Here is M-Fs amber color on a Caney Creek Molds MD 3... Seems like a good start for the base color... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 i can match that color with bears rootbeer you just have to use more than 2 cups to get it diluted right. start with at least 2 cupes of hot plastic add your flake then add colorant 1 drop at a time and you will nail it spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm not familiar with Bear's colors, but I can tell you that base color looks identical to MF's Transparent Brown. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I m no pro, but my opinion (I have all LC colorants) Lemon Yellow and Rootbeer...When I match colors, I use only a couple of ounces and when i get it I just multiply my number for a pot full...
