    Default powder paint advise


    What are some of your favorite powder paint colors? I want to get some of the colors other than standard. Thinking ruby slipper, rootbeer, copperhead, june bug, or baby bass grn. Any of these not worth having? Or is there another I should add to the list?

    I've had days I've done real well with ruby slipper but I like different shades of green. You might want to try some of the super glow colors as well. If you want it to glow, you will need to put a coat of white first, cure it and then reheat and put on your super glow color. It will show up much better then. Especially good for fishing low light conditions and in deep water.
    Try mixing some paints to come up with something new. I waste a lot of powder paint this way but every now an then I come up with a good one. Make sure to write down your mistakes as well as your successes so you don't have to make the same mistakes over again. I've got a couple of jigs I'm still trying color combinations so I can match them. Very frustrating that I didn't write it down.

    I really like the copperhead, on both jig heads and spinner blades. Have hooked 6 salmon on spinners with the blades dipped in it and 2 steelhead. I really think it is going to be my go to color for this spring for crappie and gills. The local lakes have a lot of leeches and mud critters and I think it will work really well.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    Ruby Slipper is a fish catcher for sure if you like red. It has a ton of glitter to it. They also have a Blue one like it.

    it is very hard for me to pick out a favorite color in powder paint but if I was to pick I deftly would pick Ruby slipper and dragonfly .

    As far as for fishing I only need the blaze orange and bright pink. I do like the looks of that rootbeer stuff though.
