Big Ray Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) I was wondering if anyone knows how to make a mealworm colored bait? I want to make some worms in that color but I am not sure what I need to mix to get that color. Edited October 22, 2014 by Big Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) I would start white and add VERY little pumpkinseed drop ar a time Edited October 22, 2014 by MonteSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Maybe start out without plastic and mix colorant only. The color will change a bit when added to plastic but at least you will be in the nieghbor hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) The mealworms I've seen have always looked more yellow to me, with dark brown joint and accents. I'd try a yellow with some gold to get the main color, and then add some brown flake, or whatever color flake that looks brownish in the yellow plastic. Here's a link to a whole bunch of mealworm pictures: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=mealworm%20pictures Edited October 23, 2014 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Doesn't one of the major companies sell a color called chartreuse pumpkin? Judging from Marks pics, I'd start with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Here is my Chart pumpkin. You need the white for creaminess and opaque. http://smokinbaits.net63.net/79.htm Edited October 23, 2014 by MonteSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I get that warm bone yellow for hardbaits by adding yellow to a base white, and then a drop or two of gold to make it "dirty". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
