I recently did a couple Dozen using the koolaid boil method, using fresh tails. Once dyed, I laid them on borax until the hair dried, and moved them into an air dehydrater for a few days until dry. Colors came out beautiful, but realy brittle..... all in all, happy with the results and look great on my flies and dressed trebles.....

Has anyone used the colorants from janns netcraft? If so, how do they compare to the lc colorants?

Gotcha.... thanks a bunch. I will definantly look into that

Going through the color book, I see a lot of recipes that call for (x amt. Of drops) of color (2x)..... what is the 2x referring to? Is it double the amt of drops, or the color mfg? If it is the mfg, can I get some info? I know it may be a dumb question, but any help I can get, thanks in advance....-taz

Another question I had that crossed my mind........ can you dye the tails before the dying process??? Pros vs. Cons????

Makes sense..... one of my main target colors is chartreuse (spelling?) What do you recomend? Koolaid will pretty much cover any othe color I can think of, or rit..... lol

I thought about laying my tails in an air dehydrater, and than dying them, see if it dries quicker. And.... how long does the koolaid stay before it starts to fade????

I carve a lot from wine corks..... dremel tool with sanding barrell for the body, and I use a stone for the cup... I also use a "straight through" wire design for my hooks... works great.... once I figure out how to post pics from my phone, I will do so....

Bad ass..... right up my alley..... good thread!

Long over due, but thanks monte..... gonna try that one out for sure. ;-)

Being from key west origionaly, I might have to try this with some aunt nelly's key lime juice in the mix, and see how these michigan bass like it..... lol

Nice.... damn nice.... ;-)

Looking through the download file and came across the watermelon heavy salt recipe, and was wondering if it was complete? 4oz plastic, 8 drops watermelon, and 4 drops black grape...... is it just me, or is there more to this one????? Just curious..... thanks. -taz

just wanted to say happy holidays, whichever holiday it is you celebrate, may peace and some big ass fish be with you.... with respect -taz
