SeminoleFan Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Hey guys.. Since Im new to pouring, I was wondering if anyone had a generic Color Cookbook for the new guys like me. Like how to make watermelon, cotton candy, junebug, etc. Its probably much more simpler than Im thinking.. Just curious.

woodsac Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 It's pretty much just trial and error. Here's a small list that might help. http://www.redg8r.com/forms/text/showrecipes.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senkosam Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 Lurecraft and M-F have almost any color you want, it's just a matter of finding out how many drops for the amount of plastic melted. Opaque florescent colors need white or pearl to brighten them. Watermelon can be drab or almost florescent green, depending on what color green you use. Mixing colors, as suggested, may result in hues that lean toward one color or another. Metal-flake colors affect the mix by reflecting colors internally through translucent color and by appearing like black spots when veiwed against the light source. Chartreuse flakes will appear differently than silver or gold flakes when mixed into chartreuse. An interesting mix that Wacky Worm came out with is earthworm with medium green and purple flakes. Kalin has an interesting color combo - chartreuse/ watermelon laminate with fine flakes of black and gold and black stick-flakes. Rootbeer with green and black flake is a classic combo. Laminates are not hard to pour once you don't over pour the lower half. Great color combos by the defunct Riverside, are possible with practice. Zoom has duplicated their firetiger in a tube I saw at Walmart. Flor. green with a little pearl and black flake; flor. orange or yam with a little pearl as the other part of the laminate. It's on of my best Trickworm colors for topwater. The imagination is the only limitation. I would like to see more pics or ideas for unique colors and color combos.

alsworms Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Amen Del. I make a couple different shad colors that look like crap if I don't add more color. That salt really does make a difference in the action, but it can screw up the color if you're not careful. It also helps to add heat stabilizer too.

earthworm77 Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Chris, I was going through some of my baits recently and came across a 50ct bag of 4" finesse worms in your color called Goldbar. Now, I love this color and I understand if you won't give it up but please, please please let me know how you did it. I'm itching to pour a senko in this color.......maybe I'll have to order a few from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
