Tiderunner Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 The plum dye is close. But it might need a tiny bit of black. Like a pin head drop. The emerald green flake is spot on. If you want a bit more flash try a sparkle green flake along with the emerald green. Note that plum dye will will bleed into other colors as will most colorants with the word dye in the name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 That base looks a lot like Gene Larew’s plumb to me. Here is how I make it: 8oz plastisol 10 drops purple plumb 3 drops strawberry 4 drops black flake to your choice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLuvin175 Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 LureWorks Black Plum Dye 225 might be a better choice than Plum Dye 179. Plum Dye 179 has some hi-lite blue pearl powder which I don't think that bait has any of that in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only advantage the the Plum dye and a drop of black would have over the Black Plum would be that you could control the amount of darkening made by black. The Black Plum advantage is it removes the guesswork. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
