ifish Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I am looking for a good Bone Color recipe. Several mentions in the search but I can't find a recipe. I am using C-Tex paints with Iwata Eclipse. Just started making some spooks and like the bone on factory lures. They get bit! Thanks Guys for all your help with the lure building. About ready to put up some pics. Been at it for 2 months. Dang what a learning curve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetickhound Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) There was a thread about this not too long ago... I think what was mentioned was white with just a tiny bit of brown and/or yellow ochre... I think this is the thread... http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/24806-bone-paint-help/page__hl__bone also, try the hardbait cookbook thread stickied at the top of this page... IIRC there are a coupe of recipes for bone there also. Edited August 12, 2012 by bluetickhound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 There are probably at least a dozen recipes offered for bone. Use the search feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just shoot a couple of drops of yeller into some white, stir it, and adjust from there. A little yeller goes a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric gandy Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 The The perfect bone is always open to interpretation. ^This. The way I do it is to put some opaque white in a cup then add sunrise yellow a drop or 2 at a time. I have the bone colored bait Im trying to match in front of me. As I mix the yellow in, I dab a little on the bait with my mixing stick. When I cant see the fresh paint on the bait, I know I'm there.

bassguy Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Mark you and I should have thought about the paint matching being carpenters. When I bring piece of trim board to the paint store that is the way they match it too, if they don't have the formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I guess we carpenters aren't as smart as we think we are. Hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
