Berkley Cherry Seed
« on: 02/19/13 13:27 UTC »
Does anyone have a recipe for Berkley's Cherry Seed?  I have someone asking if I can reproduce that color.  I went to Bass Pro on my lunch today to check it out.  It looks like a very dark red, but it is also translucent.  My first thought was red and black colorants.  Instead of wasting a bunch of plastic and colorant I figured I would check on here before attempting to reproduce it.  Thank you all!

This is a cherry seed that my son made and he said the recipe is
55 drops Lurecraft cherry red
4 drops CCM Black X2
and then we just use two different sizes of black to give the bait some depth
Hope this helps

I use Bears Red Shad which is a dark red. I use red and black flake. Remember the black flake will darken it too.

Regular red with a little black as suggested will work fine too.

Great! Thanks guys! I have strawberry red and will give that a try. The guy said he doesn't need them until June, but I want to figure it out ASAP. Thanks again!

Maybe you should hire your son, Mic.
