Haebar Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 What are your favorite highlite colors? What do you use them in combination with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I use them all, but I would say blue and green are tops on my list. You can get a really nice neon color by mixing blue, black, and blue hi-lite. Same thing goes for green. Violet is great mixed in purple and red color. Gold is sharp in black and watermelon. Orange is nice in amber brown (very good crawdad color). The list goes on and on and on Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlizard Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Boy I love those highlight colors also!! So many possibilities!! One of the first experiments i did was add green highlight to motor oil.....You get a ghost green color is what I call it and its awesome......Another easy tip is to start with a smoke color and add a highlight, each one will give you an awesome smoke bait with reflective colors of the highlight.... Also you can start with the same color dye as you do highlight and get some good glowing effects.....I can go on & on, but that should gt your creative juices flowing........You will not regret the purchase.

Mercury Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 My oxblood is mixed with the violet, and the smoke is mixed with blue, and black grape, with several drops of black and green hi lite is nearly a junebug color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRPLASTICS Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Hilite blue is by far the nost we use followed by hilite green, we also use alot of the brilliant colors, primarily blue, green, and gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirmy Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Green in green pumpkin by far is the best. I have yet to master any others but the amber with orange souonds like a cool color. Did you know crawfish had blue claws this time of year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJMLuke Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 I was small mouth fishing here in maine and came across a crawfish a week or so ago. It did indeed have blue claws. I took not in my head for bait colors. I don't know what colors they are in other parts of the country at all times of the year but it sure gave me some ideas for maine!

earthworm77 Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Green, blue and violet are my faves. I mix an awesome rainbow trout with the violet. I also like the gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 I like to use blue hilite powder in strawberry red to get a tequila sunrise. It also works well with a small amount of amber or black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Now that I have to try Tubeman! It sounds hot! I pour violet hi lite with either a smidge of watermelon or purple to get a fantastic rainbow trout. I also add either green or blue flake to it.

Haebar Posted August 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Thanks for all the great advice! You guys have told me things that would have taken years to discover on my own. I will start by buying some blue, green, purple and maybe a copper if they have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
