Who Sells The Flake In This Bait?

[Kevin Linehan]

I'm talking about the hologram looking flake.  The color is Money Shot Violet. Thanks guys/gals!

Closest I have gotten to that was from Lurecraft laser glitter.

It's not the laser glitters, it's what they call disco glitter. I have some ordered that should be getting here today. On lurecraft's site they say it's not recommended for pouring but some people do use it so I'm going to try it since I have a guy that wants a black light color in the 702 craw. I'll let you know how the flake works out and whether or not you want to spend the money on it in case it doesn't hold up.

maybe you can improvise it with a drop or two of purple colorant, small dash of fine purple flake, moderate pinch of holographic flake and a heavier pinch of medium black flake in a lightly pearled plastic.

It is a pretty color, but it likely isn't one we can exactly duplicate.

With the extent of bait designs being finite, many companies seek a niche in color combinations. That's much more extensive, and harder to duplicate with readily available materials.

I sell very few of my baits. When they go out, I want them as close to the ordered description as possible. However, sometimes "good 'nuff" has to be good enough.

Thank God fish are stupid.

I hope you find what you seek.

edited to add; it'll take a few drops of black as well to get the darker hues of the bait.

Well the flake got here and it did not work out as I had hoped. It just can't stand up to the high heat of the plastic. Almost as soon as you put it in the plastic it begins to lose its translucent property and turns into an opaque silver.

I have some Caney/do-it purple hologram and I dont love it.

I have some of the same flake monte, I wasn't very pleased with it either. The disco glitter is the flake that is used but I think if you are wanting to use it there will have to be a lot of experimentation to find a good temp to keep it at where you can pour but not ruin the flake. So far I haven't been able to find that sweet spot.

Have you tried Lure Craft's Minnow Silver?  Judging from the picture, it looks like that color with violet hi-lite and medium black flake.  Well.........actually.........the picture looks like blue hi-lite, but since it's called "Money Shot Violet", I'm assuming it's violet hi-lite.  LOL.  Anyway, the micro silver (or holograph) flake in the liquid coloring might just be the trick.

I tried to find this glitter a while back.  The disco from LC looks just like it while in the jar!  Unfortunately like BassinFool I never could get it to keep its color.  I tried as low as 300*

I've done some similar baits . Go to hobby lobby and get some hologram glitter. It has the same effect try that. Works for me.

Funny how the bait looks in the picture it does look like something different but I stand by my first opinion. Bold laser glitter from Lurecraft in lavender. Only because I have the baits in front of me and the color is way more like a lavender hologram than a clear hologram. And I have made it for one customer.

[RonDon]

Frank I will have to try the Laser for it.  I have a few colors in it but of course not the lavender.  I wasn't too impressed with the Fl colors but only tried them once.  Maybe I should get them back out.

I buy a lot of glitter from the craft stores. Hobby Lobby, has one of the best selections.  Just dont get the red.  It will not stay red log and will turn your plastic different colors.  Other that all glitter works well.  You can also look at the glitter and contact the manufacture and get the MSDS sheet.  it will tell you the melting point and all that.  Hobby Lobby has them on hand.  I have stopped buying most colors from bait making websites.  its cheaper to buy from a craft store and it works just the same.  Plus they have colors that most baits making supply places dont.

Baitjunky's glitter (.015) has been fantastic for me but almost everyone else's supposedly "high temp" glitter folds like the Atlanta Braves in the postseason.... Hobby Lobby has only failed me once and yes... It was the red glitter... I got some of the disco glitter from Hob Lob and it has been great.
