Looks kind of like sweet potato to me..... http://www.lurecraft.com/Plastic-Coloring-SWEET-POTATO/productinfo/1X281/

Welcome! Honestly, that's a loaded question. Cheapest is not always (in fact, rarely) the best, and what works for some guys might not work for others. Lots of great brands out there now and hopefully other members will chime in with their opinions. Personally, I used MF almost exclusively. Again, definitely not the cheapest, but it worked for me. Very consistent plastic. There are newer brands that I never got a chance to try. Good luck!

Mix again after 2 pours. date : 27/11/2002 Color : Zoom Plastic recycle By : Larryinmarietta Plastic : 1/2 cup of old zoom worms Mix : For more heavy baits add more salt when worms are completely melted. Notes : This is for micowave oven directions: first add about 1/8 cup of un-cooked fresh liquid plastic to a corningware cup. Then add plastic worms parts, cut up into 1 inch parts. Set micowave to low/med power and set timer for 1 min. You will have to adjust the time and setting for your microwave. I use an old unit in the garage for this activity. Spray the molds with worm oil/jacks juice/cooking oil pam to make getting the new worms out of the mold. Cook the plastic till the new plastic is ready and the old worms are all melted. Add additional salt and glitter if needed and pour. date : 28/11/2002 Color : smoke with flake By : megabass/ Ken Plastic : per ounce Mix : sure this is an easy one but years ago I had to learn by trial and error so this should help someone just starting to pour worms. add one drop of black per ounce of plastic for light "clear" smoke and two drops of black per ounce of plastic for a "medium " smoke color . Add silver and black flake to imitate baitfish ,Red to imitate crawfish or another good crawfish imitator is made by adding red,green,black,and copper (or orange)flake to smoke colored baits. This is essentially the Yamamoto grub color #180 Notes : always use an exhaust fan and avoid breathing the fumes from hot plastic when melting /pouring. I normally use a microwave and cover the pyrex cup with saran wrap to contain the fumes . date : 28/11/2002 Color : junebug By : megabass/Ken Plastic : per ounce of plastic Mix : add three drops of "indigo" (black grape) per ounce of plastic . when plastic is hot stir in green glitter until you get the desired effect. date : 28/11/2002 Color : Cotton Candy By : basskat Plastic : 4 ozs.
