emptystringer81 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 What does everyones pumpkinseed look like? I always thought pumpkinseed was like a sandish color, but the pumpkinseed I got from Lurecraft is almost like a oxblood, like a orangish red. I did notice it says new formulation to add small amounts before making a big batch. Maybe that's why im having a hard time getting the right green pumpkin color.

emptystringer81 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Jr that's what I thought pumpkinseed was supposed to look like, Mine is waay different, I think they messed up on the label and gave me oxblood lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammingjack Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Same thing happen to me a long time ago. That and they couldn't tell me if a color bleeds or not. I use spike-it/ lureworks. Colors are a little weaker (takes more drops) but you know what you're getting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emptystringer81 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Ill have to try the spike it, I just been trying to get mainly LC colors because most all the recipes I see are mainly from LC. I also have bass tackle colors in green pumpkin and watermelon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Ill have to try the spike it, I just been trying to get mainly LC colors because most all the recipes I see are mainly from LC. I also have bass tackle colors in green pumpkin and watermelon Yes a lot of the formulas reference LC colors but they to have changed over the years. I can't give you a real accurate time line of when it happened but it has. As for colors they are different from place to place. Each eye has a different idea of what a color should be. That's why you make your own baits so you have control of what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogbaits Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yes many lure craft colors have changed,what I don't like is you do not know it until you purchase them and then find out,buy in small size and sample first so you don't have any large quantities of unwanted colors as I did 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LureCraft Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Guys - I am sorry the colors have changed over the years and they all have not changed at the same time. What has happened is pigments that use to be purchased are no longer able to be bought because they have become obsolete. LureCraft is over 45 years old so the pigments purchased were formulated long before we bought the company and before many of the other companies started selling plastic making supplies. When we were making baits, we didn't like some of the coloring by themselves either but learned to combined different colors to make what we were looking for. Was it simple - no, but one can't change a pigment unless absolutely necessary because of those who have been buying it for a long time and when it does have to be changed, we try to still make it as close as possible. The pumpkinseed is called that instead of pumpkin (which I think it should be called too) because that is what is was called before we bought LureCraft. I apologize for the change in come of the colors but it was out of our control and we tried to formulate the new colors as close as we could. We have not had to change any raw pigments for well over a year now. I apologize for any inconvenience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emptystringer81 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks Kim I completely understand, just have to play around with the colors to get what we want, and in the process make some great colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATFLATTIE Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 You could try the Do-it X2 colorant in green pumpkin brown. It looks like it is pretty close to the Zoom grn pkn from the pictures on their website. I have their green pumpkin green colorant and it is very similar to Netbaits green pumpkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
