Watermelon Orange?
« 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

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.
