    Default Tinkering in the Shop


    After loving M-F's chartreuse powder colorant I ordered some orange and pink and fell in love too. The orange is exactly what I've been looking for. It is more opaque and bright as all get out compared to any liquid colorant I've used. The pink is great too but I can achieve the same results with liquid colorant but still like the powder over the liquid. Guess I need to get the green and blue next. Also poured up some ole reliable colors that being black and chartreuse and a pearl patriot. Guess they were the two most used colors out of my box as I was almost out of both of them. Threw a little blue flake in the black but hard to see. If anyone wants the recipes just let me know and I'll post them up here.

    That is purple hex flake with lime square flake. Purple flake ended just up looking like black flake.

    I know I barely discolored the pearl from a wee bit of too much heat. Crappies won't mind.

    Lately been hearing you can't get a good body to tail bond without a slider mold. I beg the differ. Stretch test was performed 5 minutes after bait was injected. I say it was a good bond as the bait stretched twice it's size.

    Wow! Those powder colors are burning holes into eyes! Those color combinations are excellent. No doubt about your tail welds either.

    Nice, I’d say that bond passes the test!

    I have fished my baits in up to 6’ clarity. Mostly stained/muddy water though. Tell you the truth I’ve for years have stated colors don’t matter. It’s whatever you feel confident in and then getting the fish to bite. Seems like every year I switch color preferences. Last year was black/chartreuse and the pearl patriot. Previous year I used more purple/chartreuse and firecracker/chartreuse. That pearl patriot though I have fished in the muddiest waters and they still hit it.
