This is the closet I have been able to get to ZOOMS Watermelon Candy
6 Oz. LC Plastic
7-8 Drops LC Green Pumpkin
1 Drop LC Watermelon Green
Medium Green, Purple and Black Flake
I also added a little salt to the mixture but not alot, just enough to give it a little more weight.
My red shad recipe for heavy salt baits is;
In 2 different cups, I use a 1/2 cup of salt in Pyrex cup then pour in calhoun plastic till it fills it to the one cup mark when the plastic is mixed good with the salt.
Then heat the 2 cups to 300 deg and add 4 tsp of softner and 1 tsp of heat staybilizer to each cup then continue heating to 350deg.
In one cup I add about 30 or more drops of LC black till I get a dark black color and I add about a 1/4 tsp of large red glitter, this is the top color.
In the other cup heated to 350deg. I add about 15 drops LC red and 4 drops black, then I add a 1/2 tsp large red glitter for the bottom part of the bait. This makes a bait that looks like this
Sorry it posted all the colors but at least you can see the red shad LOL
This has been my most successful color by far last year.
6oz of your favorite plastic.
3-5 drops LC Jet Black
Lumina Black powder (LC)
LC green highlight.
A lot of Senko Sam Holo string glitter
A little Senko Sam blue flake (TINY)
You'll have to eyeball the highlight colors to get it right, but I used more green than black powder, that Lumina stuff is pretty damn strong. I've done these using violet and blue highlight too, they look sweet.
2 oz plastic of choice
2 drops LC Raspberry, or 1 drop if you want lighter
1/8 tsp Blue Hilite
Gives a real translucent pink with kind of a blue shimmer as you change the angle you are looking at it. I am going to use it to make some flukes and maybe on some two color pour worms.
