wannabe Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 What did you use for the sapphire blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Using spike it colors, flake & plastic. 2oz. plastic, 7 big drops phthalo blue colorant & 1/4 teaspoon royal blue glitter. Layed sided by side to the zoom you can't tell the difference. Edited April 17, 2016 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Zoom's Junebug has changed over the years. LureWork's Junebug 125 is a match to the old school traditional Junebug color. In recent years Zoom has switched to a purple that has different shade and undertone than the original Junebug. If that is the shade of Junebug you want to match then Violet 193 would be the way to go. So for the Junebug 125 use 10-12 drops of colorant and 1/8 tsp Emerald Green 0.040" hex 1/16th tsp of Emerald Green 0.015". For the Violet 193 version use 5-8 drops Violet 193 and 1/8th and 1/16th as mentioned before. For the Green Pumpkin recipe whether your using Green pumpkin 109 or Green Pumpkin SP 156 use 8-10 drops of colorant and 1/8 tsp Black 0.040 hex. These formulas are all based on 1/2 cup (4oz) of plastic and it makes no difference the firmness of plastic you are using. Good luck and as always you might tweak the formulas to accommodate your bait design/size as well as if you are adding other additives like salt etc. and just personal taste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rynesgto Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I can't seem to keep my green glitter from turning blue when I do junebug. The first shoot is fine, but after the 1st, it just turns blue. Frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Rynesgto, I'm using spike it high temp polyester glitter with no problem whatsoever . I burnt the pladtisol by over heating ghe first batch & glitter stayed true to color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLuvin175 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I can't seem to keep my green glitter from turning blue when I do junebug. The first shoot is fine, but after the 1st, it just turns blue. Frustrating. Glitter near the surface should appear green and the purple pigment will shift the green color of the glitter over to blue when it is down in the bait. You should have a blend of green and blue mimicking the way a June Bug looks even though you only used on color glitter. You could say it was one of the early color shift recipes. If that's not what is happening for you then you might want to dial back your temperature if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
