PIV Patrick Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Y'all - howdy. I'm new to the forum and new to pouring soft plastics. I'm hoping to get pointed in the right direction on a couple of my favorite colors. I've done a search but didn't find an answer I was looking for. What is a good motor oil recipe to make a bait that changes color to a green shade in the water? Any recipes for a scuppernong bait? Thank you!

archery1 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Agree with jeff ...the m-f motor oil is awesome.. Never had bears scupp. but have spike it's and it is a good color. The spike it's black melon is another good color that you can do alot with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIV Patrick Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 How much of the spike-it or M-F motoroil are y'all mixing with your plastic to get the best results? Does adding a little salt affect the color change? Thanks for the responses and help! I probably messed up by starting to make my own baits. I'm addicted to this hobby and my tackle budget is gonna take a hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have a good recipe for scuppernong that is a lot like Zooms that has that red tint to it. I'll find it and post it up for you. Also have a recipe for motor oil chartreuse as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteSS Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I dont think the bears scuppernong I have is near as red as Zoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I add some cherry red colorant to mine as well as some black to darker it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Bears changeable motor oil I would start with 20 drops per 4 oz and add more if needed. Yes a drop or two of red to Bears Scup should work nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
