Shmang Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Anyone have any good experience with this color? I am interested in making some "Peanut butter Jelly" color for some beavers and I was wondering if this might get me started in the right direction. The changeable aspect looks to be cool to me in that it could modify as sunlight hits it. Let me know Thanks and take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Matt, I have used the color. When it comes out right, it is wicked! Not a good color for PB and J though. You have to go really light with the quantity or it will turn opaque on you and you won't get the benefit of the changable.....ness of it. lol. For PBJ, try black grape or a deep purple color.

Shmang Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Thanks Craig for all the info. I will try it out in gradual drop increments to see what works best. Is there any particular glitter color that you like the most with that color? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 There is a neat little color that I discovered a couple years ago while farting around with brown grape. If you add 2 drops of brown with 10 drops of brown grape in 4 ounces of plastic, the color is really amazing. Looks like the grape is coated with a light brown, as if you were to drop a grape popsicle in thin chocolate. Very cool color. Sorry to butt in guys. Carry on.

earthworm77 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 blue, purple, green or black all look nice. Chris, anytime a worm pouring guru such as yourself chimes in, it is appreciated!! I am seeing that color in my head. Berkley used to put out a worm they poured in the bubble pack, it was a straight tail finesse worm and I think they made it in something close to that.

alsworms Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 I have tried taking a picture of that color in just about every kind of light and angle, but it never turns out good. Just doesn't do the color any justice at all. I have honestly never seen a single color pour come close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmang Posted December 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Chris/Craig: Thanks for the info. I cant wait to check it out. I am doing the Cincinnati Sport,Boat, & Travel show the middle of January for 10 days and that is one color for plastics that I really want to promote. Again, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass1cpr Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I was playing wtih some colorants and took some Lure Craft Natural worm colorant and watermelon from LureCraft and was experimenting on trying to come up with a green pumpkin. Looked good in the pan. Well when you pour you see brown but when it's cooled and you hold it up to the light. It's translucent and as you pass it across the light it goes from browm to Watermelon back to brown. IF the light is directly behind the worm you can see the Watermelon and tinges of brown on the sides of the worm. When the light is from the sides the worm looks brown. Pretty neat and purple glitter gives it another hue in the mix. Just some food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 LC's natural is a color that I use a lot for changeable colors. It works with almost any color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotoole Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I am the new one here... so I apologize up front if this question sounds foolish... I have yet to pour (prepping to do my first one soon). What do you add to the plastic mix other than softener, hardener, color or fleck to give "changeability"? What does it all mean? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I always add the color etc. (except glitter) before I heat the plastic. You get a more consistant finished product that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james bradshaw Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Brown grape is awsome! Try it in a brush hog, the bass eat it up. Add colorant untill you get the brown to really show up in it good. The color doesn't show right untill the plastic cools off. This color really is a keeper! Good luck!

alsworms Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 LC's natural is a color that I use a lot for changeable colors. It works with almost any color. Great point Nova. The natural color is very underrated and often overlooked. I believe it was one of LC's first colors, and it's still one of the best. sotoole....... as for changeable colors, you might also try some of the hi-lite powders. They are made to enhance and/or offset some of the main colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackllbass Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Changeable means that the color of the plastic changes depending on the light. This does this because of the color, not what you mix in it. The colors are motor oil (changeable) and brown grape (changeable) Just mix either of these colors in your plastic and you have a color changing bait. Hope this explains it for you.

earthworm77 Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Shawn, take a color like Junebug, you look at it straight on and it is a dark, almost black but hold it up to the light and it is a deep purply grape. This is a small degree of changeable colorant. Now if you can find a true motor oil color, you will see it looks almost like green pumpkin but when the light hits it at different anglers, it appears to have other highlights that come out.

sotoole Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Earth and Jack.... Thanks a bunch...... you guys have been great. I'm sure I'll have tons of questions, so I apologize ahead of time... lol. Like this one: Anyone have an idea about how to get a chartreuse tail on the stick baits without dripping the chartreuse along the side of the mold while doing the initial pour? (short of an absolute perfect pour right down the gut of the mold?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I ordered some 4" snake worms from Stamina in Peanut Butter and Jelly. These baits are changeable - you can see a light pumpkin and a light purple - as you turn the worm. I don't know how it is done but I would like to know!
