Anglinarcher Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 On 2/23/2021 at 2:47 AM, Trevor cross said: Can someone tell me how to get a really shiny color I was requested by someone to make the shinnest bait ever I know this is a little old, but maybe someone still needs to have an idea. First, Define really shiny. I have found that if I paint a dust color on the surface of the mold before I pour or inject, it comes out super shiny. Below are options I have used. https://www.alumilite.com/dyes-colors/alumilite-metallic-powder/ https://www.alumilite.com/products/dyes-colors/ This does not provide a soft plastic bat that looks like the regular colors, but it will provide various "super shinny" options. The metallic is the best at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a picture of what you're looking for? I used just basic Lure Craft black grape and was very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Lurecrafts black grape is a nice color. I started making some big 11” junebug ribbon tail worms with it & they really look nice. Just use it & figure out how many drops per ounce it takes to suit you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for some rootbeer, electric chicken, mullet styles, greenbacks, new penny, etc. I used to make swimbaits for a salt water charter boat in southern California and Big Hammer is a great place to start. This was the color chart that I used. Pretty sure I've got the recipes for all these somewhere. If I remember right, Atomic Punk and Margarita are very close to Electric Chicken and baits like Toast and Kelp Kritter are similar to New Penny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really fun to pour them! When you're fishing for salt water predators, getting their attention is key. For Calico Bass, in the kelp, the best bite is a reaction bite, the same as with a largemouth. A yellow jighead with a blue swimbait trailer will outfish live anchovies and sardines. Plus it's a blast doing it. Chuck and wind is a kick wherever you do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saugerman Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 I've found that any time you add UV powder to plastic, that it really bring the bait to life. It really shines , you might try that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
