    Good question !! I've never seen one, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I did however, always wrote down what I used for the colors I poured, crossed out the ones I didn't like and kept those I did. It also depends on how big a batch you make too. I usually would mix in quantizes of 1 cup at a time even when pouring larger batches. I also would keep "Plugs" of left overs for future pours of that color too.

    Hey wmitch2, There use to be a guy on Tackle Underground called (Lone Star Baits) that had a pdf file people could download, it was like 50 pages of color recipes, you could pay him a few dollars for the file, which was well worth the work he put into it. I see he has a facebook acct. but I don’t have facebook to reach out to him.

    I printed one off several years ago I'm sure from Tackle Underground. I just looked and I still have it in my email if you want it.

    Why not start your own recipes.

    Don’t know how I’m not helping. I don’t do others recipe as I do my own and write them down if they work, I got the recipe of my own. And yes they do work. I’m not a copier I’m and innovator.


    Guess you can’t please everybody with a good comment.

    Best help you can give is by keeping your mouth shut and Not replying to my Thread with I’m a innovator B.S.

    I usually end up starting with somebody else’s recipe & ending up tweaking it to suit myself. That or if a single out of the bottle color I just add colorant to plastic until I’m happy with it.

    There were plenty going around ten plus years ago, but there are so many companies selling colorant now that it would be difficult as they are all different shades and potency.

    Tons of good videos on YT with more current colorants.

    At one time, I swore we had a recipe guide on here. I remember taking screenshots or copying it to notepad, but lost it when my PC went out.

    It was very helpful for those starting out.
