Basseducer Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I am trying to match Yamamoto Watermelon Violet. I have checked all the usual suspects and can't find "Violet" flake. I found Do-It's Holographic purple and I have some of that coming. Does anyone know of anywhere that has Violet Flake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 You might want to try a boat repair shop. They also have some colors not supplied by the usual supplier's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Spike It - Sparkle Violet only comes in .015 and its the only one I have found that is stable enough to handle the heat (LureCraft has one but the 1/2lb I bought couldn't handle the heat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Thanks Dave, I saw that, but it looked too light. Maybe it's just my monitor. If the Do-It stuff don't work out the Spike-it stuff is next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 The Do-it holographic is terrible. I bought it years ago so make be better now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Do-It stuff don't work out the Spike-it stuff is next. It looks completely different in the plastic. It kind of acts like a Hilite powder, it look white and milky until it hits the plastic.

mark poulson Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Will the green colorant change the look of the flake? Maybe it would lighten a fine purple flake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 The flake seems to be .015 or larger. It looks like it shifts from green to blue to violet and the bait color is very light watermelon. Hoping that holographic purple does the trick.

DaveMc1 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 The pics I saw of the colour show that it is the .015 Sparkle Violet from Spike It. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
