Title: DARK WATERMELON PURPLE
Post by: BobTheBeast007 on 07/26/21 14:18 UTC

Here's one of my personal favorites, a simple color that just simply catches fish.

2 cups plastic
20 drops Dead On Dark Watermelon Green
5 drops LureWorks Baby Bass
1/4 Tsp .040 black and .015 purple

I know this is Do-Its forum and the colors above aren't from Do-It, but I just have a mix of colors from different brands it just happens that do its weren't used for this color, however I'm sure the equivalent colors would work just fine.

I do the watermelon a bit denser in color myself with the 4 Rippers we use for bass and pike and I load it up with both .040 and .015 purple glitter. Both of the mentioned fish along with dogfish find it  great chewing color. One of our best producers.

That’s a hot color all over. They used a similar color all summer on the tournament trail on drop shot that crushed the small mouth with. Also one of my go too’s also.

  One of my favorite colors is Do-its CC Green with purple flake. Been making it for years and it just works.
