    Default Chameleon [brown-grape M-F]


    We don't see many people using this [or any of the changeable colors] very often and I have real good luck during the summer months with this one so I added these to the summer bucket.



    I hand poured the belly using Super Sparkle clear, then topped it off with a layer of thin smoke. The top is 10 drops of M-F Brown-Grape with some uv enhancer and black and purple .015 glitter.

    Brown-Grape is one of a few changeable colors M-F makes and its a non bleeder so it fits right in with color play. What you see here in sunlight will turn a real pretty transparent brown when it hits river or lake water making it a super nice natural color. Fish love it and its become one of my go-to summer colors. What's seen here is already in the summer tackle bucket. There's a lot of reflection in the color much like what a good hi lite would add, but without any opaquing. Its almost mirror-like and the second bait up on the lower right is starting to show some of this reflection. Some of the baits are also showing just a tad bit of the transition to brown. Its a cool color, as are all the changables, but people just don't seem to use them much.

    They look fantastic Tom I'm sure that you are not using a dual injector and playing a little bit of the stomach and shooting the purple then putting a clear coat over everything?? I do like the fact that you are using the fine black glitter it makes it more real looking the eyeballs said it right off.

    Try mixing M-F brown-grape with M-F motor oil. Wow, what a color! Made lots of bass fishing lures with this color mixed strong with black flake. It is a bleeder though. Bass love it, have not made crappie lures with it...yet

    You're right Fatman. I should have gotten a pound, but really it takes so little in a 4 ounce batch to ignite it that what I have will last a couple years.
