maximusgunn Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Here is a picture of Zooms http://zoombaits.anglersupply.com/product.cfm?model=Lizard%206%22&manufacturer=Zoom%20Bait%20Company&type= It's almost like a rootbeer with green flake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampBaits Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hard to tell from that picture. I'm sure someone will come along with a recipe for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I've seen gourd green by several companys and they are all a little different from each other. For that color (from the pic) I would try LC motoroil with black and green flake. 4 oz. plastic and start with 4 drops of LC motoroil. Then go from there. It may even take a drop of amber; but start with the mo. Let us know. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Amber brown always worked for me with gourd green, but motor oil sounds pretty interesting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Sock Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 try the mf watermelon non bleed and mix it with the smoke gold pearl, that should get you in the general direction, I'll see if I can mix it up tomorrow and post a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stanley Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 my oldest son used in 8oz of plastic 40 drops of motor-oil then added 10 drops of red with 10 drops of junebug(red&green flake). the color looks like the motor-oil until it getts in some shade then it turns into the gourd green color. it's looks pretty good and have been catching fish on it down here in Fl. might try so pearl hi-lites next....

BassnRandy Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Thanks guys. I am headed the right direction. Found some old gambler baits this morning in the color. Looks like the motooil will be a good base for their variation of gourd green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Sock Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Here is a picture of Zoomshttp://zoombaits.anglersupply.com/product.cfm?model=Lizard%206%22&manufacturer=Zoom%20Bait%20Company&type= It's almost like a rootbeer with green flake wow, I was looking at the picture that came up on the link instead of scrolling down. I can probably match the picture that came up with some watermelon grren some pearlescent, green and blk flake Here is what I came up with just from memory of looking at the pict, yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Sock Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Looking at the picture on bassproshops, it looks like the MF trans orange with a tad of pearl would do the trick for ya. It's almost dead on to what I see there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 OneSock, Is that gobie a one stage pour, or did you do two colors of green? Btw thanks for the tips, you helped me move over the wall I had hit. Willy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Sock Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 It's two colors, one is simply a clear polastic with pearlescent and gold green and black flake, the other is watermelon green 3 drops with gold smoke pearl 2 drops and a drop of pumpkin chartreuse, same flake amount and color glad i could help, that's what this place is all about right?

GB GONE Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I think I would ask the customer if he has a preference of the gourd green he likes. The one on Zoom's site (http://www.orderoutdoors.com/zfinesse.html) looks like a motor oil with amber brown and green flake. Real light though compared to other I see and hardly any green to it but the flake... Hate to have to do them all over again!!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Sock Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 agreed Jim, I would never call that color green gourd and is it me or is zoom's color chart one of the worst you have ever seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 There is no pearl in Zoom's gourd green. I use 15-20 drops of MF transparent brown in 4oz and small and large kelly green flake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassnRandy Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thanks for all the help everyone. He was after Gambler's version. I actually got it pretty quick. It wasn't exact but close enough you can't tell with out really loking. I used carmal with a shot of brown in it, green flake, ect. Again thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

saint308 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yes Zoom has the worst color chart I have seen. I was trying to pour some sand and some ice trickworms, but had trouble seeing them. You can go to ebay and type in "zoom green pumpkin" for example and get a pretty decent picture. Just click on the picture of the bait and it will zoom to a close picture. I hope this helps anyone trying to find a zoom color. Saint.

bassn1 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hers's a few recipies I copied in my files before the crash: Gourd Green Root Beer or Amber Brown with medium and large green flake will both make nice Gourd Green colors. Pumpkin works too. Gourd Green ( gets real close to Zooms gourd green using LC pumpkin and medium green flake. I don't remember an exact formula for it, but use it sparingly and you'll get there, I am thinking around 3-4 drops per 8 OZ. Try adding some small black flake too, really cool effect.
