Kyler M Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) What color pigment does everyone use to make their watermelon seed baits? I use lurecraft green pumpkin and is just a hair to dark for my liking and i have tried just about everything to lighten it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated Edited March 9, 2021 by Kyler M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Maybe try a smidgen of yellow or white to it or both, but were talking just a very small amount on a skewer or something like that the size of a pin head at a time until you reach the shade you want Edited March 10, 2021 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I can't remember who makes brown watermelon. Either MF or Lure Craft, but you might try that one. Or you could add a touch of brown melon to regular watermelon to darken it a bit. Another option that worked for me is Lure Craft watermelon mixed with a touch of MF cinnamon. That made a nice green pumpkin. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF makes the watermelon brown colorant; it's really thin but makes a fantastic color. As for myself, I use several different colorants to make my version of watermelon just to give the baits a little more depth. I use watermelon 101 from lureworks, some lime green from dead on, some natural from lurecraft and some green pumpkin 109 from lureworks as well. Is it necessary to make it that complicated? No, absolutely not. You can get a great watermelon color with watermelon 101 all by itself, but I want to make my colors my own which is why I add the other colorants. I added a photo of some worms I did in gallery and will drop the wink below. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/21027-straight-up-watermelon-seed/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
