gone2long Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Ok; here's my Green Pumkinseed as promised.4 oz plastic 16 drops LC green pumpkin 1 drop LC orange Black glitter I just poured a batch but it was almost black? I'm wondering if my pour spout on the bottle is twice the size of yours I added 4 more ounces of plastic and here's what I got the pic is darker than it is in person: Also used LC Golden Yellow as I did not have plain LC Orange, but I like it it looks just like the picture on Tackle Warehouse:) Thanks for the recipe:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry guys; darn bifocals. It's should have read 8 oz. Yes; I only make a small hole in the bottle top. i use a 2/0 hook to make the holes. I've not tried golden yellow with it but that sounds interesting. I like that color. The orange will give it the brownish look that Zoom has. Check my website; that's what it will come out like. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks Nova and yes I did check out your site that's when I realized I was on point with the 8 ozs my pour matches your sticks almost perfect, nice site by the way and nice work. Since this was my first pour with it I didn't add salt but now I'm confident with the recipe. Thanks again. Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikefishnfl Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Anyone have a good recipee for red bug? I cant seem to get it quite right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I had the same problem with that color until I tried Bear's Candy Apple Red. Just add green flake! If you like it a bit darker you can add a drop of black. Bears Baits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Looking for plain and simple white belly recipe, I have LC White & LC Silver Minnow and White Pearl powder - found a Silver belly but looking for a White variant.

Low on plastic so don't want to experiment with creating a color. Thanks in advance for any assistance provided. Chris Try 3 drops pearl, 1 small drop black in 1 cup plastisol. Add more pearl if needed but be careful with the black, too much and it will look like caulk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seamonkey Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'm looking for the color chameleon. yum is the only company that i know of that makes it. worms and chunk trailers are the only baits that it comes in .it is such a sweet color i would love to try it in some other soft plastics bait. it has three different color to it (natural,flouresent purple, and an olive green), depending on the light conditions.

JoeDobs Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Does anyone have a recipe for Saltwater Assassin's "Chicken on a Chain"? I'm fairly new to pouring and have limited coloring, and plastic at the moment. The darker part of the bait is what I'm in need of help with...it looks to be a darker greenish color with a hint of brown maybe(with small red flake and large black flake). Here is a list of the colors I have right now; Bears: red shad red, black, and lime green, LureCraft: white, chartruese, bubblegum, flor. pink, strawberry red, and violet grape. I tried using one drop of red shad red and worked up to 20 drops of the lime green to 2oz of bears chemionics 3000 plastic, but its too dark. It has a dark almost forrest greenish color. I'm running very low on plastic, so I have had to stop the experimenting untill I order more plastic. If anyone knows of a color that bears or lurecraft has available that's pretty close, it would be a huge help. Or, if someone knows a recipe for this particular color, it would also be a huge help, as I will order the colors needed when I order the plastic. Thanks for any help in advance, and thanks for all the info and help that I have received from this site. This site rocks!!! P.S. Sorry for no pics of the "Chicken on a Chain", or my attempts at it. My camera has decided not to cooperate! Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugbyfisherman Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Killer color combo! Crazy Plum with Bubblegum tip I use this in my senko mold - bass go nuts! For the main body: 1 cup plastic 5 drops LC crazy plum purple 1/8 teaspoon large red flake 0.62 dash large black flake 0.62 salt to taste For the tip: 1/2 cup plastic 13 drops LC bubblegum pink. First pour a bunch of bubblegum tips - trim to desired length. Put the tips back in the mold and pour your purple body! Fish and enjoy!

ensenada don Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Has any one got suggestions for a hitch pattern for a swimbait? Thanks, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrbil Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I am brand new at this and was wondering if there is a basic formula for making a solid color like black. Is there a certain amount of drops per ounce of plastic? Or do you basically just start adding the drops and stir till you get the desired shade.
