Possible idea.....
« on: 11/14/11 10:34 UTC »
I have been kicking this around for a week or so. Time to get it out there for more minds to think on.

I want to jump start my colors again. Challenging myself gets me thinking outside the box again. Last year I did a 30 new colors in 30 days and it helped me come up with some killer cool, fish-catching colors.

I was thinking we could collectively do something along this lines. I have 15 or so colors I think might be good (might end up not being though...lol) and I'll bet a few others have some they were thinking about.

The idea is to get lots of folks involved and if we each did 1,2 or 5 new colors, we would all have more to work with and all learn a lot about the colors we don't currently use.

I am going to kick mine off when I get back from my vacation the last week of this month. I will post the recipe and a picture of the resulting baits along with any tip or trick I used to make the final deal.

We can probably make this a sticky or something called "A month's worth of new colors" or something grand....

Well, that is it. What do ya'll think???? I know it will get me pumped to try new stuff again and I know I will learn!!!!

I think this is a great idea.
I have noticed that there were only few entries in the Color Cookbook
as of late.  It is interesting to see how the main theme of colors varies from one section of the country to another.  It may even make me get off my duff and post a bait or two.

I'm in! Here in Colorado the two colors that are dominate are Junebug and Pumpkin Green. I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I can share though...LOL. First I have to figure out how to upload a picture to this site, but after that I am all in.

Well today at work my wife suggested I make a LSU colored frog or a Mardi Gras frog. That maybe something fun to play with too, team colors or holiday colors. Though it may not be a good fishing color;... or could it?

Great idea.  I'm sure we'll stumble on something that the big companies will pick-up next year!

Lol!!! Some of my new colors were copied in 3 months or less. No doubt we will have some winners.
