Big Ray Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hi everyone I was just wondering if anybody knows how to make a junebug colored Senko.

MonteSS Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 What dave said for watermelon. Straight LC is ugly. Need to brown it up. Bor Junebug I use Black Grape and maybe add a drop of blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ray Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ok Dave I need to buy some red anyway I am wondering what would be the best red to buy. I just want a basic red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 yup, just a basic red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flippin 416 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I like Netcraft's watermelon...they were having a pre-black Friday sale....10% off I think. I just ordered three more bottles of it. For Junebug...I use Lurecraft's purple and keep adding drops until I get the desired color. For me in one cup of plastic I am using 40 drops...then add green flake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) IIRC LC red is ugly. LC strawberry was better I really like bears red shad. Lil darker but vibrant. Red will bleed Edited November 20, 2014 by MonteSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassinfool Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Watermelon 1/2 cup of plastic 1 drop watermelon (Lurecraft) 1 drop Natural (Lurecraft) 3 drops green pumpkin (Lurecraft) 3-4 drops lime green (lurecraft) 2-3 drops watermelon 101 (lureworks) Junebug 1/2 cup of plastic 2 drops cherry red (lureworks) 10 drops electric blue (lurecraft) 20 drops black grape (lurecraft) bunch of .040 and .015 green or emerald flake Neither of these recipes include salt and if used will heavily distort the colors.

MonteSS Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Love the recipes with so many different colors and brands just to make gree LOL. Who has all that colorant. Just buy a watermelon you like. If too green add a few drops GP or red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Well, the lurecraft watermelon is about the ugliest thing I have ever seen so I used those other colors to make it best I could. The 101 is actually completely optional in that recipe. If you want, 101 straight in enough drops makes a fantastic watermelon all on its own. The rest of those were acquired over time and that's just the combos I've used to get the best results, by no means am I suggesting you go online and buy those colorants if you don't already have them haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) I agree LC watermelon is hidious. Adding GP helps Edited November 22, 2014 by MonteSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteSS Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Nope. Custom made copy of baby Rage. Had a couple molds and sold them. Edited November 23, 2014 by MonteSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Indeed it is, was hard to see the difference on my phone. I think it might be time for an upgrade, I've only had it since '09! If you're looking for something similar to that the 706 is pretty darn close. You ever sleep Monte?

SNOWMAN CUSTOM BAITS Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Thanks monte That's what I thought. I knew it looked awfully close to the rage. I may try that 706 maybe they will have a African American Friday sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'm currently working flexi at the hospital so I switch from 12 hour days to 12 hour nights pretty frequently so my sleep schedule is pretty much non existent haha.
