Hello all! I ordered a bottle of pearlescent from Jann's. I was thinking that I would use this in conjunction with any color to give the bait a pearly finish. I tried it for the first time last night. I tried making a bait with 12 drops of the pearlescent in the plastic to see how it would turn out. It didn't really look any different than just a plain old clear bait. I then added about 3 drops of white to the plastic to see what happened and the bait just looked like a pale white. I then added more white and more pearlescent and I really did not notice a difference. I could tell in the Pyrex container that it looked pearly, but when the lure cured, it did not look all that pearly to me. I compared them to some regular white baits I made and really didn't notice a difference. Is the pearlescent supposed to be used in this manner? Maybe I should have picked a darker color instead of white. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you in advance!
