OK boys, you asked for it Rofl
The two colors I pick are .....
Top or head color = Mulberry
Bottom or tail color = Electric Lime
Now ... before ya'll gang up & come lookin to put a hurtin on 'ol Pappy Doh .... here's the deal --
Go to this link - List of Crayola crayon colors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and look up colors # 68 (Mulberry) and # 36 (Electric Lime) for reference.
HAVE AT IT, AND HAVE FUN Thumbs Up
... cp :cool:
I am in timeout, good luck fellas
mulberry, lol ok I will see what I can do with that oneDoh
okay guys we went out and made a Mulberry with electric lime please note that picture does not do the lime any justice it is a little bit brighter and more florescent in person if you can hold in your hand it would look much better but let me know what you guys think.

perhaps the lime should have been a little bit more chartreuse but we kind of made a lime that you are familiar with so I screwed up maybe but we definitely could match it but anyway let me know what you guys think.
snake, i like it, send me your recipe for the lime color, what colors and how many drops per oz. I normally cook 4 ounces at a time. I need a good recipe for a color like that.
looks good Bob, when I looked up the color on one computer it looked one way then when I looked at it in the shop on the laptop it looked different. I think I got close but cant tell with out having the crayons in my hand.
well here is my version of the colors, I added a little blue flake to spice it up to my liking. But the combo looks pretty good, these will go in my box to try out.

baitman, just send them down to me for my box if yours gets too full he he, they look good
you aint got time to fish.lol
we definitely have fun with this one I will tell you the formulas it's no big deal we use plum purple and we added white to get what I want for the electric lime I screwed up I should only use chartreuse and added white but I added a little bit of florescent green which made it to dark but if you use white we chartreuse you will get that father also with the Mulberry by adding white to purple or plum purple you will get what you want Mulberry by adding white too many colors you will get many different shades by just adding and subtracting and adding some more you can come up with thousands a different shades of each color also you guys by using Perl white you will get some beautiful outstanding combinations by adding colors we've been doing this for a long time but we have never posted too many by using a dual injector and blending many of these combinations are fantastic we do not have a good dual injector we will get to Bass Pro to order one is the one I want we have been shooting half of the mold and turning it back into shoot the second such as baby Shad stingers all molds you can turn and shoot half you really don't need a dual injector to do that this way it's on the same principle is using a plate I hope you understand what I'm trying to say make sure if you use the backside of your mold to clean it with acetone to take Greece an oil off. We do not have a formula we just added subtract until I get what I want seeker.Quote:

This is a cool idea! Ive done this on other jig tying forums for tying up combos... Lots of fun. I will be a day or two late on this one.:( Lots of bagging to do by Fri. By the way colors look great!
kinda looks like a tame electric chicken to me. but not bad at all guys, nice work.
maybe on the next one we can go after a certain fish, freshwater or salt. just an idea
You guys did good.! I have a tourny to fish saturday, so I am making my baits now. I wish I had time to do this. Maybe next time. I have got to build a dual injector. Baitman I love the way your baits look shot with the 2 color injector. Good job guys!
snake I use the white in a lot but still for some reason can not get colors to look the way i want. Baitman, I have more time now, I finally graduated school
I cant decide. gonna need you two to send me plenty of both so I can judge in person. they both look VERY good
