Eol2014 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Does anyone have a recipe for this color? It looks so simple......semi transparent gray/silver with gold flake but as I'm learning nothing is usually straight forward with making baits albeit Im a newbie. Thank you.

alsworms Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I used Lure Craft's minnow silver for that one with small black and gold flake. If you go that route, minnow silver needs to be mixed a bunch as the glitter will separate from the color. Also, if you're adding salt, it will make the bait more opaque looking. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eol2014 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks alsworms.....I have several MF silvers that look close to that...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'm guessing other silvers won't work because they will be too dominant and the bait will not have a clear look to it. If you don't have minnow silver, maybe try a very light smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See.....now they didn't have silver hi-lite when I poured. LOL But yeah......I don't see why it wouldn't with a very, VERY light smoke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eol2014 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Thanks for everyone's help. Results in Pic. I think its a 95% match and Im satisfied with it. I did a 15 min water test comparing to Yamamoto Natural Shad Senko ( same hook and line ). My version had a very slightly slower sink rate so I added another tablespoon of salt for fun ( haven't tested that version yet because I'm happy with my results). What I did notice was after 15min water test the Yamamoto color faded a bit , mine did not, so even a 100% color match out of mold would be irrelevant. My version is a bit softer ( softer plastic and probably less salt/additives than yamamoto) but the action was great. As we know there are so many variables in making plastics I used a lilttle of everyone's suggestions. Below is what I did. Again thanks to everyone who helped and I hope this will help someone.... Next quest sexy shad.... 1 cup of MF soft sinking plastic 2 pinches of .15 black flake 1 pinch of . 15 gold flake 1 pinch of Halo gold flake 3 TBS of MF flake salt 2 drops of X2 black 2 drops of X2 white 4 drops of MF silver 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkin Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 My favorite color senko. I just use very little of the smallest size flake in black and gold. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
