Title: Watermelon Orange?
Post by: Keith Stone on 07/18/12 21:25 UTC

Fished for smallmouth in a small river last weekend. A guy used a baby brush hog Watermelon Orange (I think?) and did really really well.

Any recipes? It had red and medium orange flake (I think?).

Thanks

this is just a guess but if i was gonna give it a shot this is where i would start
4oz plastic
10 - 12 drops watermelon or 3-5 drops X2 watermelon
.015 black flake
.040 black flake
.015 copper flake

Please let me know if you guys think i might be close ;D ;D or WAAAAAAAAY off  :-[ :-[..

Bill that looks about right, the only thing I can see that stands out is both black glitters are square and the copper appears to be hex.

If I were to guess Id say 10 drops watermelon, 5 drops orange, then small and large black glitter and small orange glitter.

Don't have one. I would just use my watermelon color, small orange flake and then the medium and large black flake.

Small copper would look good too.

Go light on the X2 watermelon drops, like maybe 8 first (in 8oz), then add flake. Add drops after the flake as your flake will influence the color result.
