Black Tubes

Recommended Posts

That is probably due to the fact the tentacles are pretty thin that there's simply not enough plastic to absorb all the light and as a result some of it passes through the bait resulting in a little opacity. The only thing I can suggest is doubling the amount of black and see if that gets them where you want. For colors that require a lot of drops I would suggest looking into Do-it (formerly Caney Creek) X2 colorants. They're very thick, concentrated colorants and require only half the drops you would normally use. They're really nice to have when you are making a bait that needs a lot of drops.

For a black black look add a heavy amount of black flake.  It really adds depth to the look of the bait.  I discovered it a long time ago when a buddy wanted some "black sparkle" baits.  I made light smoke plastic, added heavy blake flake, and a reasonable amount of silver flake.  The bait looks BLACK, but the silver shined through the smoke.  In your case, more black pigment, and black flake should do the trick.
