Les Young Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Does anyone have a recipie like the cabin creek smoke purple tubes? Also what would be best for a light smoke color ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Smoke is just a very light black. Depends on your preference, but I used 1 drop black per 4 ounces of plastic. As for the smoke purple, that bait looks like smoke with violet hi-lite, black and purple flake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 That colour is literally just a super light smoke with black and purple flake (035 square to be exact) Colour matching doesn't get any easier than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I love it when someone comes up with an easy one. Nowadays, you guys are going nuts with some of these colors! btw.....the bait I googled definitely had violet or purple hi-lite (does anyone make purple hi-lite?), but as said I'm sure you could get away without it.

hpssports Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Something like this? It's a smoke with a purple hi-lite & holographic silver glitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense making it more complicated than it is. Simple colours often out perform the most complex colours out there. here is the colour pulled from their website, VERY light smoke with black and purple flake.

Les Young Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Guys, i was using 1 drop of lureworks black 103 i think it is in 4 ounces & it was really dark. I went with 6 ounces & it's a lot better, but still a little on the dark side which is why i asked incase there was something in it i was missing. I may even have to go to 8 ounces with my black to get the lighter shade i'm looking for. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow.....my eyes are playing tricks on me. That one doesn't look like it has hi-lite. I found this one on Ebay and it looks like it does. Oh well........close enough, I guess.

Les Young Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Or maybe try LC minnow silver. Looks light. VERY light. Thanks for the tip. I may try that for anything that i want a very light smoke base on. I appreciate it. Edited November 27, 2016 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 dont forget your looking at a hollow bait under camera lighting. its gonna play tricks on the eyes. drop one drop of black in about 10 drops of worm oil. mix and drop from there.

Leonard, i totally agree with that. I do think i need some weaker black though or something like was mentioned for a lighter smoke base. 1 drop in 4 ounces & it's very dark & in 6 ounces is better, buy still to dark for what i'm wanting for my tubes for day time use. Any suggestions? Maybe the tooth pick thing? Thanks Edited November 27, 2016 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 mix your color in some worm oil or softner it will weaken it up. put 1 drop in say 10 drops of wo, then drop that 1 drop at a time to achieve your smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATFLATTIE Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Or maybe try LC minnow silver. Looks light. VERY light. Silver minnow had lots of extremely small silver glitter in it so I don't think it would give the desired effect. Just need to up the amount of plastisol used with one drop until he gets what he wants. That or just dip a toothpick in the dye and stick that in the plastisol to get less than a "drop" worth of colorant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see both of them differently every time I look at 'em, and now I'm seeing no hi-lite at all. It's the purple flake that threw me. Just my luck to take an easy color and screw it up. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Young Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) This is what I came up with off the top of my head. Needs more glitter, but will be close when I get done.

Les Young Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Now if I can figure out a salt ratio for 6 ounces as there is no salt in these. Any suggestions on how much to add? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 No reason to add any salt. Just weakens the plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
