Baitjunkys Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Wet dirt a shovel, and a coffee can.. A head lamp sometimes gets you just the right hue as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttexas Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Real live nightcrawlers are a laminate with darker pinkish brown on top and a much lighter pinkish brown on the bottom Top color, I'd go natural worm color recipe (see below) + add drops of violet until you get that top nightcrawler color (my guess is two drops) Bottom color (my guess) 4oz plastic 2 drops of pumpkin seed + add drops of 2 drops white and 1 drop violet M-F (pouryourownworms.com) sells 3 different earthworm colorants Lure craft sells natural worm colorant ispikeit (Lureworks) sells a nightcrawler colorant and an earthworm colorant Might be a good starting place for the top color Natural worm color 4oz plastic 4 drops pumpkin seed 1 drop brown glitter of your preference optional 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Dead Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) May want try the oxblood from Spike It. You can adjust the colorant amount until you get what you want. A Laminate is better but these work in a couple of local lakes here in NC> Not exact but they work.

Walking Dead Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I recommend Baitjunky's worms. The one in the picture is no longer made. I have both of Baitjunky's straight tail flat side molds (his fat and regular) and they are great shooting molds. I just did not have any pics in this color.

Frank Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Use both colors from Spikeit as a laminate and it will look just like the real picture up a few posts. Earthworm and night crawler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
