Hirelures Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Looking for Red shad recipe? The red color close to Berkley. Have checked the cookbook, and not much help. I use LureCraft and MF colors mostly 4-8oz and no salt. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 For Red Shad you need a Bleeding Red dye color. It gives you the brilliance and transparency that only dyes can do and pigments cannot. Any bleed into the other half of the laminate will be concealed by the Black back. You will need to add some White Pearl to the red belly portion and Bingo, thats Red shad. Use Hi-Lite Blue instead of Pearl White and Bingo, thats Tequila Sunrise. Colorants to use: Cherry Red Dye 120, Pearl White 127 and Hi-Lite Blue 135 if you want Tequila Sunrise. And of course black for the back. Those are LureWorks colorants so if you dont have those you will have to use an equivalent from another manf. If that Berkley worm is a PowerBait dont get to caught up in matching the "dirtiness" the Powerbait additive introduces to a bait. You will drive your self nuts doing that. Good Luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
