Green Pumpkin
« on: 03/19/15 00:14 UTC »
My personal rendition of green pumpkin with red and black flake. 6 drops of brown and watermelon to 4 oz of plastic. They seem to keep turning out better each time. I hope the fish like this color as much as I do.

 Now that color I like. If you can hand pour like that then you'll have no problem when you go to injections.

 On your next order try CC Green in the 2X colorant. It will already be about that color at 6 drops in 4 oz. Or most the time I just use 4 drops to get me a little more of a see through green. I think it allows the glitter to show that is deeper in the bait and gives it some depth.

I think I probably should lighten it up next time. The red isn't showing through as much as I would like.

I think so but I do like it. Just trying to give you some ideas. It's one of the nice things with customizing your own baits. You can make them how ever you want. It's just my opinion that if your going to add the glitter then have all of them show and not just the top layer.

That Caney Creek green is a heavy color and I tend to agree with Lamar on this one. Start with the 4 drops as he suggests and try a splash of it on the back of a mold to see if its dense enough for you. If you want to intensify it add another drop and do the mold back thing again to see if its close. Its not a bad green as far as greens go but it does look better when light moves thru it in my opinion.

I am going to have to check that out. Do you have any pictures of baits made from that color?

I'm a fan. I believe its the 4 drops to 4oz of plastic Lamar and Tom mentioned. I used toms method of mixing then putting on the back of a mold to get an idea of the color. It's a very helpful process
