Post by: Jkwbwca on 01/26/17 18:13 UTC
Any favorite recipes out there for the Orange you typically see in Alabama Craw baits using only the ES Colorant?  Thanks!

A picture of 'Alabama Craw Orange' would help.
I am looking for an orange for my 'fire tiger' baits.

Try motor oil. Drop until you get close. I use sweet potato but it is X2.

Alabama craw is green pumpkin over orange.  Both sides have medium black flake.  The orange side has half as much flake.

The link provided does not show a two color bait. The responses have been to what is shown in that link.

That is a two color bait.  The underside is just not shown.  The underside is a cloudy orange.

I guess I can see that now that you point it out that way. The orange is certainly covered well and the green is very thin if it is a two color.

Yes...the craw i'm going to try to duplicate is 2 colors...I probably didn't attach the best picture.  I currently have a few ES colors...red, chart, black, white, watermelon green.  I was going to try to make that orange with the red and chart, but just didn't want to end up with a color i'd have to just make black or something.  I know half the fun is experimenting, but I knew what I wanted in a bait and was checking for ideas.  The flo orange which I guess is florida orange and not fluorescent orange since the other fluorescents start with "fluor" looks like a pretty good match for the bottom color.  I also ordered some of the larger black flake and some green pumpkin brown.  Thanks for the help.

Use a color wheel.
Red and Yellow can get you to orange.

Greenpumpkin brown over sweet potato will work too
