alsworms Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 In looking at # 106, here's what I'd try..... In 4 ounces of plastic for each color........ Bottom color 10 drops Lure Craft Minnow Silver - small holograph flake Top color 1 drop LC green, 1 drop MF silver, pinch of green hi-lite I'll bet that's pretty darn close, but don't quote me on that. Now then......for an orange egg sack, if you want the orange on the bottom, just add a very small pour of orange first. But the key here is to wait for at least 30 seconds before making your minnow silver pour. Otherwise, the orange will bleed throughout the bottom of the bait. Same thing applies if you want the orange in the middle. Pour your minnow silver, wait several seconds, pour your orange, wait several seconds, then pour your green. Hope this makes some sense.
