Monkey Milk recipe from Crappie Farmer
"Bears baits blue hi lites. 1 scoop about the size of a match head each. .15 black flake to taste. 1/2 cup of plastic. "

This is a GLOW PLASTIC recipe I got from CTom
4 oz plastic, soft formula
12 drops of stabilizer
1/2 - 3/4 tsp glow pigment, depending on the glow color
Attachment 233275
I also love this PRO BLUE recipe I received from my friend CTOM.
"You have to create pro blue. Basically its a thin smoke with a ton of blue hi lite and maybe a very tiny amount of plain pearl. You don't want a true pearl, you want to let the amount of blue hi lite cloud the color and it has to be used over, say, white or white pearl. I make my pro blue by melting a small chunk of black plastic in clear along with a smaller piece of blue. Once the plastics have been cooked and mixed together well I add the tiny bit of pearl and the blue hi lite."

I forgot ...there is one more favorite of mine from Dr. Nip. This color when teamed with Black is my all time favorite combination to use when fishing for crappies. I hope Snake River will make me some more tubes soon using this formula.
16 chartreuse
4 white
1 fluorescent blue
1 emerald
1 yellow
Small blue hi-lite
Small uv
Small .04 black flake

I thought this thread would have many pages considering how helpful and family oriented the people are on this site.

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
Yamamoto’s Chartreuse (op/Fish NM @Custombaits.com)
4oz plastic
10-12 drops X-2 Chartreuse (do-it molds)
2drops X-2 Fluorescent Green
B-B size ball blue hi-lite
Glitter of choice
Bobby Garlands Cajun Cricket
Chartreuse and Orange through a Dual injector
.015 black flake in both colors
Maybe a drop of green OR fluorescent green in the Chartreuse
Yamamoto’s Pumpkin With black and green (1) (OP/ [email protected])
4oz Plastic
2 drops Orange (LC/ lurecraft)
1drop Pumpkin Seed (LC)
1/8th tsp .035 black flake
1/8th tsp .015 green flake
Yamamoto’s Pumpkin with Green and Black (2) (OP Onlykeepers @ custombaits.com)
4oz plastic
1drop Orange (LC)
1drop Tomato X-2 (do-it)
1drop Sweet Potato (X-2)
1/8th tsp .040 black flake
1/8th tsp .015 Lime flake
That’s a start. More to come. Eric aka Jamesdean

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?
I didn’t know Hobby lobby had anything like that.Quote:

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.Quote:
