Mr.Nsmith Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yep as the title saids, "Rusty Baits" I'd encountered this when I was making one of my new baitfish mold lures which should of have been all white. And somehow there was rust from where one of the grub was on a hook that rusted from not been dryed off yet which made the hook n bait rust: The core of the bait was rusted. So when melting a batch of these used grubs to make these baitfish baits the first one turned into the colour I call, "crème orange" which created from all white grubs to a orange-fleshy baits instead. So when melting recycled baits make sure that all or any don't have a rusted center....If you want to see the pictures of this bizarre creation it's under the soft plastic gallery..... On a side note make sure that if you have recycled baits in a single bag take them out immediately (if it's not a single brand's color) or put them in a singular bags of each different type of brands' colours because for an example even a strike king watermelon will not be the same as a zoom watermelon... so separate them...

DAWG1419 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yea Ive noticed not all zooms green pumkin is the same. Try laying a worm,speed craw, and other zoom gp next to each other and they are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Nsmith Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 It's strange that how a company's baits colour will differentiate between the different baits....you would think that it will be all the same appearance no matter what baits from those molds you will try to make.... .

DAWG1419 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Maybe its the amount of glitter used or done for other reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Maybe its the amount of glitter used or done for other reasons. Exactly! Obviously, more black flake will make the bait darker. Also the thicker the bait, the darker the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane D Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 ive heard zoom subcontracts baits out to independent people with big injection machines.may explain the shade difference . i have bought two seperate packs of the same bait from different stores and the colors would be a little differant.
