BBC Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Chadk, Lurecraft makes a tomato dye. I have it but I haven't used it yet. It's probably what you're looking for though. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EugeneM Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I use and like the lurecraft tomato its not an exact match to zooms but its pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadK Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well I ordered a small bottle of LC's I wound up just using heavy red with a drop or two of black and came close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troul Hawk Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I have fished that color some, but I must admit gave up on it pretty quickly. Is there anything that the Tomato color is really good for(say dingy water, deep water, I dunno....) Anyone care to share a secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garneau Baits Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Chad, It looks nice--- Just don't get all caught up in trying to get an exact color match of another big manufactures bait. Come up with your own colors, colors guys cant get from the big boys!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 What HappyTime said I finished up a few orders yesterday, then played with this color for Chad. Today I have been trying to match a GYCB color for a guy. The time spent is not worth what he will end up buying. On top of that it is a laminate color which will take longer to pour. And I still don't have the color right. 18-20 drops of MF red No-Bleed in 4oz of plastic with black flake is real close to Zoom's Tomato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinfool/2 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 looks good. the recipie is about the same as mine I added 6 drops of Dewl's flor. yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man 26 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Just my 2 cents on what I put together for Zoom Tomato. 2 oz. Plastic Softner to taste 80 drops Dels Red 30 drops Dels Yellow .35 Black glitter I know that it is alot of color, but the Zoom tomato is such a rich color. It is as close as I can get. Wondering if the Lurecraft Tomato is easier to mix and what is a recipe? Oh yeah, I would have never thought to put yellow with the red if I had not read it here first. Thanks TU!

ChadK Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 well, I ordered the Tomato color from LC and from what I can tell makes an awesome Tomato color. nice and yellow/orange on the tips of the bait, yet redish in the center. Just was not what my customer was looking for. I'm afraid they wanted more red. adding a drop or two of black made a nice rotten tomato too!

dblades Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have fished that color some, but I must admit gave up on it pretty quickly. Is there anything that the Tomato color is really good for(say dingy water, deep water, I dunno....) Anyone care to share a secret. Went fishless one night on Table Rock, fishing all the normal night time colors. Meanwhile my buddy on the back deck has a limit up to five pounds on Tomatoe Salt Craws. He only had six, finally he gave me one, second cast got my line broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
