alex p Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I would like to start by saying that i'm new to this. I've searched the fourm but cant seem to locate the answer i'm looking for, I'm trying to replicate the Yumdinger "junebug" color which when looking at it appears to be a deep blue. However, if you cut a small piece its actually a shade of purple with small blue flakes and larger green flakes. Ive tried MF and Lurecraft june bug and even tried mixing in some blue. But it comes out more of a red wine or too much blue. Has anyone recreated this shade of "junebug"? Should I just try different shades of purple? If this has already been answered, please show me the link. I'm wasting so much plastic trying to get this color correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Try Lure Craft's black grape with green glitter. Always worked for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Try Do-It X2 Florida Grape. The Florida Grape has more of a blue base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Lureworks junebug 125 is what i like & it lasts good too because it's pretty strong. Edited March 13, 2018 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Junebug 125 is the color we used till they stopped making it. The Florida Grape is what we switched to since it's a close match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpssports Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Junebug 125 was Lureworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 You might want to try LureWorks Violet 193. It is a strong Purple that has a blue-ish undertone that your looking for. It is has a thermocromatic characteristic when hot; it will take on a pink or red shade. Let the bait fully cool before rendering a judgement on how it looks or finalizing your formulation. It is a good alternative to the Junebug 125 that is no longer available. A single colorant is usually preferable to having to mix multiple colorants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex p Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 So.... I just ordered lurecraft black grape. Lureworks violet and florida grape... Hopefully one of these will give the color I'm looking for. I've figured out the greens and cotton candy which were pretty easy. This has been testing me. Thank you everyone for all the information, it has been a huge help. Are we allowed to post pictures on these threads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex p Posted May 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I forgot to post an update. I got it almost perfectly matched. Mostly black grape with a couple drops of blue. Large green, blue and teal flakes with some smaller blue. It's identical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Good deal. It's hard to match some colors sometimes without adding a drop of this or a drop of that colorant. If you do happen to use the Lureworks violet 193 don't go into shock like i did when you demold & your baits are a nice deep red. lol It's the nature of the beast like McLuvin said & it will cure up a nice purple when fully cured. A little pthalo blue in it & you can match zooms junebug to a tee so i'd say you could match the other brands junebug pretty easy with it too.
