powerworm Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 are you using salt as well in your recipe? that is why the tails look translucent not the actual coloring of the bait. adam that looks more brown than green pumpkin on my monitor instead of dark purple might just be this monitor though??

I see it in that picture (in the tail) as well. Looking at the rest of the bait leads me towards that Black Grape, cuz my monitor is making that bait look kinda purple...maybe it's me and my eyes.

Smallie Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 i see the purple on my monitor as well. It could also be fine purple flake or maybe a highlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marks Lures Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Try Pumpkin seed (base brownish) Green Pumpkin Dirty up with a bit of red and blue. Really looks like a dark Coca-Cola / Root Beer Color. Purple looks like it might be from the blue electronic water color on the picture (mixing with the red). Or maybe amber red and a bunch of black. It is all really guessing until you actually have an in-hand color to copy. Hope I provided some ideas to get you there. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) I'm thinking that this bait is double-dipped. First in the the color you see at the tail and then in the purplish color as an overcoat. I might be wrong though. www.novalures.com Edited April 28, 2011 by nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vakeith Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks Mark will try the the purple didnt seem to rite i tried several times but the base brown might be it will give it a try this evening.

I'd just do up your Green Pumpkin, and then dip it in a smoke and call it good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
