Does anyone know where you can buy some chocolate mint colorant?

Thanks

Searched around for about 45 min this morning to help you out. But no luck. Looks like you will have to mix some up.

Its one of those changable colors. Back a while I ordered some small baits made in it from MicroSpoons and absolutely hammered sunfish using it in a couple northern Minnesota lakes. Bears stocked it at one time. If I am thinking right, it was an M-F color. I know it is no longer on their color list and I have not seen it anywhere else. Contact M-F to see if they can mix some for you.

your wrong, it was a colour that was custom mixed for Bear by one of his customers. there was chocolate mint and i believe watermelon pumpkin. both changeable colours. Bear did not source a single colourant from M-F.

If you could post a couple of bait pictures; maybe one of the forum's "color experts" could help get you close anyway.

Then I'll stand corrected. Thank you.

bear was not exactly honest about his colors, the mint is a MF color.  chameleon was from spikeit as well as watermelon pumpkin.   get the mint here  http://www.pouryourownworms.com/51-Blue-Crawfish-changeable-51.htm

Thanks Microspoons.  I have looked at this color myself several times.  I; and the fellows I used to fish with; were big believers in several of the color changing colors.  For some reason, bream were really partial to them.   We used a bleeding, color changing motor oil back in the 1980 - 1990 time frame that was a really effective color.  I think there is a scud, or larvae, that the bream really liked that the motor oil was a match for.

Thank You Keith. The baits I got from you in this color were nothing short of outstanding in the sunfish arena.

no problem, its one of the things that turned me off from bear, got us hooked on a few colors then made up a story when he wasnt able to get them anymore to keep us from shopping elsewhere. No cool

Chocolate Mint, watermelon pumpkin were originally mixed by a customer of his (i had a few conversations with the guy) they were then made in large quantities by Color Technologies (his previous source for colourants), spike its parent company.
