BigZ Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Man, this is the wierdest color I have ever used. Do any of you fellas have any experience with it or good recipes? It looks like that foul morning dawn pink crap to me. I made a ton of senkos with it, maybe it will work, but I am not happy with the results. I was expecting either a red color or a brownish red color, not some light pink stuff. Maybe crawdads look like that in San Francisco?

basskat Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I was the same way. Only poured about a dozen worms with it. Carried them to the lake and the fished loved them. Now I mix red flake with it. Looks weird but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I make lots of worms with crayfish. Looks good with different colored veins. Also, a couple drops with a touch of red & purple makes a nice oxblood color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 What does it look like.....can someone post a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigZ Posted October 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Hey, thanks for the replies. I think I was just trippin' on it because the final color looks so different than the liquid colorant. I'll give it a shot with the red flake and with veins and oxblood. I'll make sure and go to one of the "red" lakes to test it tomorrow morning. Kinda stragne how two lakes can be a mile away from each other and the fish hit totally different baits. One lake is red colored baits, the other is greens. GO FISH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 This is what the end product looks like. It's very productive here on our river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigZ Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Al, I tried using even 3 drops per oz of plastic and it's pale pink still. I must have gotten a bunk bottle of it or something? No brownish color at all to it. Your craw looks like I thought the dye would look. I think I got it from Bass Pro, probably been sitting on the shelf for aeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Never had a problem with it Z, although I usually buy direct from MF. Shake the crap out of it. I guess it does have a slight pink to it, but overall a transparent brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Forgot........sounds a lot like MF's earthworm color. Maybe it's labeled wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigZ Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 I think it's just a bad bottle or something. It looks dark in the bottle but the results are screwy. I just love shaking those little MF bottles up a whole bunch. I see exactly where they get their initials from when you open the bottle after shaking it a bunch. Since I have a huge bottle of Watermelon Brown, maybe I'll mix it with that and see what kind of sludge I come up with. :idea: : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 LOL! Z, I think I know what you mean about the initials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Flo. Pink........I don't use much of that stuff, but all my little bottles are sitting upside down in the shop. I can't find a way to mix the coloring without doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigZ Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I use a guitar string to knock the solids loose off the bottom of the bottles of color if there is a bunch of stuff settled on the bottom. Seems to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
