    Default Electric Chicken Color Recipe


    I have been trying to get the Bobby Garland electric chicken recipe to match and I can't get it just right. I am trying a head and body color instead of a laminate and that is throwing me off I guess. Funny how colors shade through one another. Anyone have any recipes they would like to share? Thanks for any help.

    Theirs is more like bubblegum and lime. Start with adding 5 drops of white to your pink until you get the shade you want. Take your stir utensil (knife) and drip some plastic on your work top. Gives you a better idea of what it will look like in a small bait.

    For the tail add blue to chartreuse a couple drops at a time. Probably have to add a drop of white also. Then heavy silver flake.

    But Personally i prefer the brightest pink and gr chartreuse i can make for my letric chickens!

    I'd do bubblegum for the front color and then make plain chartreuse for the tail and add a couple drops of green chartreuse and a drop or so of white to block the transparency a little. As Ron mentioned, silver glitter in the chartreuse.

    Not yet Ronnie. Been fishing a lot, will try this weekend. I like your thoughts on the brightest color possible and will try it both ways. Had a limit in 1 hour Thursday on purple and chartreuse. Some big fish are moving in and I had a blast catching them on a bait I made. That Mo magic is a very versatile bait. Funky phone pics. The purple is lighter and is all bleeding purple glitter color.

    This is a 2.5 Mo Magic from Do-It. Great bait and proven color so far!
