    Default Color orange


    I have tried and tried many different ways of getting a orange that is basically the shade of a real orange and for the likes of me I can't seem to get it. My orange tends to lean toward the light side. Anyone have any ideas on what I can try or do? I'm using x2 company if that helps and even have mf orange too...thanks

    Not an expert,Have tried most of the colorants,lurecraft,X2 ect.What works for me. Is to use Dipping dies.I can see the color I am wanting as I dip the plastic in the die,we have most colors.Start out with a. Clear bait,white,ect.

    Suggest you talk to some of the guys on the "Jig Tying Forum" such as "skiptomylu, "STUMP HUNTER"
    or "shipahoy41". These guys are probably some of the best on this site who can help with color and
    info on tying. Good Luck !!!
