    Soft plastic color recipe thread as a sticky?

    Is this a good idea? We can add our recipes to it. I have a lot of recipes on hand and would share them.

    Gents, ty for some good recipes. Doc, great idea on sharing recipes. Igor, nice looking baits you posted. I am just started learning to pour, still playing with colors and amounts of plastic/coloring to use.

    1 drop marine blue
    2 drops red hot red
    1/2 smidge blue hi-lites

    the real morning dawn color is a 3 color pour, there is a little chart in there. It depends whose bait you look at, but a glance at Robo worm or Magic Worms is likely as authentic as it gets. But they do vary a little......Pink is the base color, chart is added to the head or tail and generally you have either a clear belly or a light violet....pearl....I'm going to say that is someones variation but not the way it was originally poured.

    Lureworks has a very nice red bug colorant that i use quite a bit. On colors i use a lot like green pumpkin, black, junebug etc. i just buy pints of colorant to have the same exact results every time. I do mix a lot of colors, but something i use about every trip i just buy it any more & can add a few drops of other colors if i want to tweek it some.

    Some say to use florida grape for the main color. Some also say zooms is nothing but a mix of red & blue too. I just use lureworks junebug 125 or black grape & make junebug & add a 1/4 of a teaspoon red glitter if making 4 ounce batches. Google soft plastic lure making recipes & you'll find a bunch with several different ones for most colors.
