Mustard Seed
« on: 10/13/11 09:21 UTC »
Was fooling around trying to make a Mustard Seed color and came up with this. I used
4 drops Yellow (LC)
2 drops White (CCM)
20 drops Amber (CCM)
2 drops Rootbeer (LC)
1/4 Tsp. Med. Black Flake




Any opinions? Anyone care to share their Mustard recipe?

Greyphase;
Mustard is new to me in a grub / minnow style bait.  Is there a particular minnow / creature you are trying to mimic with this color? Ya'll have gobies and other minnows  we don't have.  What fish are you targeting with this bait?

Looks pretty good.  A couple of years ago I used a tube in a similar color only it had green and black flake - a killer on small mouth.

I do a similar yellow with .08 moss flake bagged with a moss green stick with chartreuse flake and call it "go Ducks" since I am in southern Oregon.  :)

Looks great. I love to make trailers that color for my white swim jigs. The Guntersville bass love it.

I fish for smallmouth bass in streams and small rivers in Pa. I tend to have confidence in brownish baits (Rootbeer-Black flake is my favorite)that match the color of the river bottom.

That is subtle fishing for sure. Are these clear water settings?

Yes with the water depth of 1 to 4 feet.
