RSNeely Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 After much searching, i still cant find an answer. Has anyone found the flake for GYB's Watermelon violet? Also is there some violet hi-light in this recipe? HELP PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 No Hi-lite, but the glitter is https://www.ispikeit.com/Store/p-831-sparkle-violet-4223-hexagonal-cut-0015.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I think it is the salt that gives the bait that "hi-lite" look, not actual hi-lite powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Keep in mind that flake is VERY temp sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Keep in mind that flake is VERY temp sensitive. The stuff from Spike It has been quite forgiving for me, the stuff from Lure Craft (looks identical) disappeared as soon as it hit the plastic.

Bassinfool Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I have the stuff from spike it and use a microwave. It's usually good on the first couple shots for me but will start to change color once I reheat it a couple times even when watching my temps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My watermelon/red looked brownish/orange. Leonard at Baitjunkys suggested I try his color and glitter. That solved the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or were you just talking in general about his glitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's good about getting back to people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This colour doesn't use a holo glitter, it uses a violet iridescent glitter, I have only found it at Spike It (that actually works) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 red glitter will bleed eventually, so that'll brown up your green baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason I originally started using Baitjunky's glitter. I posted about my red glitter turning my watermelon/red flake into a brown/orange flake, and Leonard suggested I try his glitter. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
