I took them to the limited access lake I visit from time to time for a session of letting them swim with the fishes an in about 1hr and 45min. I caught 12 crappie... would have stayed longer, but Momma had an appt. so I had to leave...The feeshy's liked them too.

Ok folks, after clearing with Slab, I am working to put the names (original posters), with a couple hundred color recipes I have collected over a couple year period. May take some time to relocate the threads for most of them. I will post them as I get them done. Unfortunately there are no pictures of the colors, just what’s in them. I hope this will help, and if your looking for a color and it’s not up here yet, I might have it and just haven’t found who the OP is yet. You can pm me and I’ll see if by chance I have it. These have came from other fishing forums, as well as some mold makers which also sell soft plastic bait making supplies...I have a 100 pg composition book with upto 5 recipes on each side and it’s about 1/2 full so I might have what your looking for. Please bare with me as I work through the process.

Now, I must say some have a manufacturers name associated with them but to my knowledge ARE NOT the actual color recipe, just a recipe to get you really close to that color. Also these are not my recipes...
Some do not list amounts just colors that would be from any recipe

I make mine almost the same way, except using green flake instead of black. Tears them up on Rayburn.

Anyone ever use Hobby Lobby Pearl Ex micro powder added to anything to make Monkey Milk powder for jig heads?

Does not have the blue effect, but makes a great underbelly color.

You mentioned jig heads......save your money unless you pour plastics. Doesn't work like powder paint, or at least I couldn't get it to work.
