Nope - the flake is optional. You may have heard of "Aaron's Magic Red". That's just red flake in the watermelon. Gives the worm a little more of a crawdad look.

Another option: just add blue hi-lite in the watermelon, then pour your brown. Doesn't look as good as the triple pour, but it's just as effective.

Hey guys, I thought I would share a couple of my goto colors with you since I am a newbie.

This bait color is a transaprent metallic green pumpkin. Great for reapers!

• 8 oz Lurecraft 536
  6 drops LC Pumpkin
  3 drops LC Watermelon
  3 drops LC Amber
  A SMALL quantity of LC metallic silver powder (about the size of a match head?)
  I like this bait seasoned with either Large Back Flake or LC Holo String Glitter...or both. The fish like it too!

"Berzerk Berry"....

• 8 oz Plastic ( I think I used 3G last time with good results...shocking!)
  6 drops MF White Pearlescent
  5 drops LC Black Grape
  4 drops MF Purple
  2 Drops LC Red
  Add the pearl before heating...Mix Colors in thoroughly.

I like green and blue flake in this one...The color looks crazy in the water, it works well when the sun is up.
I like to add about 5-6 drops of LC Garlic Oil and some Procure Shad to the bag and salt em up so they don't stick!
Good Luck in the PreSpawn!

This is a 'from scratch' recipe for motor oil. Al's Worms gave me a 'thumbs up' on it.

All Lure Craft Coloring. Add all color before heating.

4 oz Plastic

2 black
4 amber
5 yellow
10 flourescent yellow

Add your choice of flake. If you want it just a tad darker, try adding 2 drops of purple.

Here's a couple:

1) "green fish"
- Add LC green pumpkin to plastic until the color is a very light green (not the darker, more opaque green pumpkin produced by more color)
-2 sizes black flakes...fine and med
-LARGE white flake...a more natural scale look than silver or holo flake

2) laminate bb
-LC green hi-lite powder added to plastic until color is opaque with green transference fo light/color...no flake, poured as the belly color
-Add black color until plastic is a "medium" smoke then a drop or two of watermelon or one of the "green" greens (emerald, etc)...fine green flake (lots) and medium black flake, poured as the back color

***can also pour this color as head-tail-belly...think I have a pic of this in my drop shot baits in the gallery...does a nice job of imitating the prominent black tips on a largemouth or kentucky tail

Hope it helps.

****Sorry for the lack of quantities but I mix colors by eye, not by count. Anyway, as soon as I start counting drops sure as the world I get that glob of color that inevitably squirts out. Or I drop the whole jar of flake in the pot LMAO.

"Copper Melon"

1cup plastic

medium copper flake
small black flake

This color is a light watermelon with copper highlights works great in clear water where alot of light hits the bait.

Thanks, Tm

Purple Pearl

12 oz plastic
3/4 tsp White Pearl powder
6 drops violet grape
1 drop purple
red flake
blue flake

I use Calhoun's plastic and LC colors and pearl.
I can't remember how much flake I added, just add til it looks right.

This color looks good with a white pearl tail if you're pouring curly tail worms.
