BuMMeRBaits Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Anyone know what the mixture of colors would be to match the Black Grape Color by ZOOM. Thank's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmeister Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 its most likely made with "indigo" or "black grape" worm color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuMMeRBaits Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Thank's JigMeister, I thought it was kinda of a dumb question for me to ask, but I do not have the Black Grape or Indigo Coloring, I have Jet Black and Purple. Was looking at another companies Black Grape Worms and they looked like a really dark Purple with Blue Flakes in it. I actually have my 1st customer, who wants to buy some baits from me and of course his request was for something very close to ZOOMS Black Grape Color. Think I will try a good bit of the Purple and add a little bit of Jet Black to it to get it darker and maybe a little bit of small blue flake.

jigmeister Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I think the black grape is more of a violet than purple . I'm thinking adding blue to purple makes violet and then you can darken it one drop at a time with black (or just get some blackgrape /indigo color). You'll be needing some anyway for pouring "junebug" color worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuMMeRBaits Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Thank's again there jigmeister, I am going to be ordering those colors with my next order, but waitting to get the $$$ to place the next order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I searched Zoom's site and couldn't find Black Grape, but my eyes are getting worse every day. I found Sour Grape......probably not at all what you're looking for. The other color you mentioned sounds like maybe Berkley's "Blue Fleck"?? I know that one is a plum color (black grape mixed with strawberry). You are right on the money if you want to make purple a little darker. Just add some black, as long as you don't overdo it. About 1 drop per 2 ounces should be enough. However, I'm a big fan of black grape. If you can get some on your next order, I'm sure you'll be pleased.

BuMMeRBaits Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 ALS - Here is a link to the page for the trick worms it has Black Grape on it about about the 8th one down. http://www.anglersupply.com/product.cfm?model=Trick%20Worm&manufacturer=Zoom%20Bait%20Company&type= Their image does not look like any other Black Grape baits I have found.

alsworms Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 The picture isn't very clear, but my guess is that's black grape color with either blue or green flake. Black grape is a perfect combo of a dark purple/violet/blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm Customs Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I have some zoom black grare lizards here, they have no flake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuMMeRBaits Posted August 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 TM - Would you happen to have a picture of yours so I could see a better one than zoom has on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm Customs Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 It really would'nt help. I tryed all redy, it looks black but when ity hits the light you can see the purple. I would suggest trying 1/2black 1/2purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigZ Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Like the guys said, the basic color is purple and black. I think zooms has a few drops of red added too. I use LC black grape and it is identical to "other brands" black grape. If you have purple, black , red and blue dye you should be able to get it pretty close starting with ?black,? purple (1 drop per OZ, so 3 or 4 Jet Black and 3 or 4 purple per cup of plastic)and adding about 2 drops per cup of either blue or red (violet or berry tints respectively). The better Black grape colors will have tiny silver or holo flake and some blue or green larger flake. Personal preference I guess.
