Thanks..

Hi Folks, Been awhile since I posted anything..Been busy with the business. I need your help trying to figure out the Morning Dawn color.. I've tried several things and can't seem to nail it. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance.. Tom

Try This out.. 4 oz Plastic 16 drops LC Pumpkin Seed 2 Drops LC Brown 1/4 tsp .035 black flake

I just finished another run and tweaked the formula and the results were more than I hoped for. I did 14 drops of MF motor oil to 4 oz of 502 and an 1/8 tsp of .08 red flake and the baits came out great. Still have the multi color transitions and tone changes. You were right ghost, the red accented the color and gave it another dimension. Thanks for the tip. Think I might be on to something.. After my testing this Saturday I'll know for sure.

Hi everyone, I received my order from MF and I did a test run of some 6" ST worms with the Motor Oil. A customer requested some motor oil worms with blue flake and I was amazed at the effect the blue flake had on the bait. The worm almost looks aqua marine but changes tones and transitions under different light. Not the typical motor oil color that I am used to. Has anyone else used this and did you experience the same thing? I used 10 drops in 2 oz of plastic. Any advice welcomed. Thanks in advance, Tom

Sure Jeff..I'll give you a good deal on a customer.. Why are you posing with your bass pillow in your picture??

LOL.. I'm a frickin idiot... Thanks for making it very clear to me Nova.. I didn't even look at the FX stuff when I was on their page.

Hi Folks, I have a customer asking for some worms in the "Peoples Worm" color.. Looks like a cinnamon pearl blue vein to me,, Am I missing anything here? Thanks in advance for your help.. Tom

Ted, I sent you an email this am..

On my jig heads that is.. Have any of you figured out a way to fix the heads that have nipples? Out of the 50 football heads that I powder coated Saturday (Using fluid bed), 12 of them developed nipples in the oven during the cure. Hate to waste them. I cut them off with a pair of snips, but now I have an ugly flat spot. Any advice appreciated..

Hi Chapples, It would be best to order the coloring from your supplier of choice. As Shane said, Crayons will work but the colors will be all over the place in terms of consistancy.. My recommendation is to get anywhere from 6-10 colors to start.. Black,Brown,Purple,Watermelon, natural/nightcrawler,Green Pumpkin, etc and practice with tints and shades to get the colors you want. Get some assortments of flake also.. (Black, red,blue,etc in the following sizes to start .015,.035) 1. Never use waterbased scents in your hot plastic. (Anything that you can buy in the store) The plastic will explode and you won't like it. 2. Pour in a well ventilated area and wear a respirator. 3. Pay attention to your plastic. A little heat vapor is okay, smoke is not. If you over heat your plastic it will effect your color and it will eventually scorch. Whenever you have a question or a concern, post it on TU and you will get the help you need..

Hi Hoonin, Your molds look very nice! You are absolutely right about the folks here.. Even though many of us have our own businesses and are trying to make a buck, everyone has each others back and is supportive. When I first started this crazy addiction, I had many questions and there was always folks to point me in the right direction and assist. You just holler when you have any questions or are looking for feedback..

The fish haven't said anything yet due to still trying to get the color pattern right. Plan on testing them out next Sunday. (As long as the spinner bait bite is not still wide open) Went out last Sunday to do some testing and got caught up in the spinner bait bite @ El Capitan. Caught 12 by 9:30 and the smallest was 3 lbs. Not a whole lot of testing happened. This color combination is a killer here in the west, I just want to make sure that it looks perfect. Perfect baits catch many fish and even more fisherman..Can I get an amen?

Hi Folks.. I need your help on which color combo to release on my Reapers. There are 3 variations on possible patterns but I am having issues on picking one and forgetting the other 2. One picture was taken in the shop and the other was taken outside to give 2 different perspectives.. The color is Arizona Sunrise. (AKA Cinnamon/Purple with a few tweaks) A has the main cinnamon color running thru the channel on the tail B has entire tail purple C has the tail channel in Purple and the tail is cinnamon.. Please help! Let me know your thoughts and which color you like the best..

I just got off the phone with the main buyer for the company and they are doing the right thing.. Guess I am not the first one to complain about the football heads weedguard issues.. They are aware of it and trying to correct the QC issues. They are crediting me for the previous order and they are personally checking the new order before it ships out today. They promised a phone call to me to let me know if everything is ok or not. If there are problems they will take care of it..
