alsworms Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Back in the day, Lure Craft called it Brown Grape. Such a cool color, but it looks like it's discontinued. You might give them a call and see if they have any around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 You can also mix some Lureworks jelly apple red with some midnight blue to get the original MF Brown Grape. Jelly apple red with Emerald green will get you blue craw. The jelly apple red is the base color in most color changing colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiderunner Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Doesn't Changeable Motor Oil do that?Looks brown, but then depending how you move it has either a green or purple iridescence to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mind went to motor oil too, but that's a brown/green effect. No purple in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpssports Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 MF produced brown Grape & if I'm not mistaken Bears got the colors from MF. Lureworks has chameleon but it's not as deep of purple as the original brown grape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably was before Tammy's time........and my time, too, for that matter. LOL. I bought a box of molds and colors from an old guy who had a bunch of black grape. I'm guessing he was pouring in the late 70's or so. It was definitely Lure Craft, that I DO remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold64 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 I just started making plastic lures from a kit my wife got me, it came with plastic molds. I had just finished making about 12 lures, I read someone had said to put your lures in cold water to cure. the next day I checked and my black lures had changed to green or gray! any ideals why? thanks for any help.i was using lure craft material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Bait plastic is like a sponge so they will absorb water over time. Just take them out of the water & let them dry, the color will return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm shooting a bunch of baits I'll throw them in the water straight out of the mold to cool them down, but every 15 minutes or so I take them all out of the water and lay them out to dry on a towel. It makes it so you don't have to mess around with laying them straight right out of the mold when they're still really soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
