alsworms Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yamamoto's basic cinnamon can be replicated by using MF's cinnamon, then adding your desired flake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Monte; do you have LC's natural? If you do try a drop at a time till you get what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmc Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I had someone ask me to shoot some 221 (cinnamon with black and purple flake) yesterday. I've always been a proponent of MF cinnamon to match the Yamamoto color, but without heavy salt it's way too black. Since I had a bag of 221 swim senkos on the shelf I started playing with the color and looking at what was on the shelf. This is what I came up with and it's almost dead nuts on... 4 oz plastic 40 drops Bear's scuppernog 2 drops LC white 1 drop black 3 smidgens .035 purple flake 3 smidgens .035 black flake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Always good to have the bait on hand to know what you're working towards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouringbaits55 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I hope I am replying to the correct place. Thanks to all who replied to my post ! I am trying to match the yamamoto cinnamon red shad shape worm which is different than plain cinnamon. Any more ideas would be much appreciated.

bryanmc Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 How is it different? The 221 is more brown than the 196. I don't think I've seen the one you're talking about in person, but on the Yamamoto site it looks on the brown side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouringbaits55 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 It is actually the color 215. It is a brown shade but it has a reddish pinkish tint to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Out here in SoCal, the 221 cinnamon brown/purple flake color is a great jig/Ika color. I struggle with trying to match it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Without a sample to look at its hard to help. I searched Yamamoto's site and I think the best route would be Cotton Candy 165 colorant from LureWorks. That would give you a brown surface tone with a pinkish under tone. The Cotton Candy 165 looks different when hot versus when it cools. When you first use it wait for you bait to cool down before you make any adjustments to your final formulation. The sample chips I poured don't have any salt in them so take that into consideration when evaluating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouringbaits55 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Looks like you're pretty close Mcluvin. What was your recipe ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 pouringbaits55, that was 6-7 drops of Cotton Candy 165 to 1/3 cup. Pinch of red,black,grape 0.040" glitter. Adjust accordingly. That might be too much color, especially if you plan on loading with salt. Let me know if it works out for a match to Yamamoto's Cinnamon color, I'm curious to know.
