For you first time viewers Adam is a very talented and entertaining Christian Lure Maker. I love the many colors that he comes up with. He is also a very good fisherman. God Bless Adam and All that is watching.
The blue fleck is the base color for the worm color blue fleck which uses that base and blue flake in itm similar to plum with blue, but different base color.
Gotcha! The Lureworks picture on their site shows flake in the pigment itself, which is why I was so confused, LOL. Still a mystery, but thanks for watching, and for the feedback!
I used to call it Mint Chocolate - quite delicious, especially with a mix of large and small black flake to really drive home the texture. Glad you enjoyed it!
Strange thing is that the Lureworks picture shows blue flake in the pigment already - but I didn't get a whiff of that. I could just baaaaarely see a blue sheen but no "fleck" at all. Maybe I should have removed the cap and dug around in the bottom for hard pack, the shaking wasn't enough (with with the ball bearings I add to all my bottles). Mystery for sure, LOL!
As a newbie to the soft plactic bait making world, i totally appreciate your "be a better baitmaker" series! The information you provide is priceless and very helpful, keep this series going please! We need a shop tour!
Awesome video Adam! Pointer for you and the other folks, the Jelly Apple Red Dye is comprised of the same dyes used for Methylate, so it's best to add in Jelly Apple Red BEFORE you heat your plastisol. It avoids those little chunks of pigment floating around in hot plastisol and you get much better dispersion. It's a Florescent Pink to Orange changeable color and very translucent. Methylate is actually the opposite color ratio, Orange to Pink changeable and it is more opaque. Interesting burgundy color coming from the Blue Fleck, I'm glad you tested it, saved me from having to, LOL I have a bottle here that I haven't opened yet, same with the Black Plum. I already want to throw some Molten Core or Onyxia Holoshift Powder into the Black Plumb and see what kind of magic we can get!!
Thanks man, very good input. I did see the "clumping" that took a bit to break up in the hot plastic - I'll keep that in mind for the next time (as I WILL be using it again, wow!). I replied to your other comment response about blue fleck... puzzling! Re: Black Plum... or my... the mind whirs with Holoshift potential, yes indeed!
You are very thoughtful of your community doing this series. I'm glad to see you getting back to it, as I'm sure others are, too. It is a great learning experience. As usual, you always get very useful bait to us even when you are just experimenting. Be blessed. My friend.
Always like to see single color builds. I’ve used the Blue Fleck Dye and when I’ve used it I see a slight blue hi-lite tint to it. I’m not sure why it didn’t show up for you, maybe needs a little more saturation to get the blue to show, but I’m kinda new to the bait making scene, so giving advice to a professional is sticking my neck out more than I should. I look forward to more videos like this, keep um comin’.
You are not wrong my friend! I saw what I thought was the same... but then I thought maybe I was just fooling myself LOL. I bet with more saturation, as you said, it may have become more obvious. Appreciate the input!
The blue flek is just a base color meant to be used with blue flake lol. It’s an old school worm color that zoom used a lot. I’m sure others made it as well
Now I want to see a Jelly Apple Red + Black Plum laminate stickbait, and see how the two dyes bleed together over time. Might eventually be a swirl or even look like a triple laminate, but my gut tells me that one dye would overpower the other eventually.
Try mica powder for epoxy resin. It can withstand the heat and doesn't cost a lot of money. I got that from Amazon, whether pearl or UV active, the stuff is great
That "blue fleck" does look just like the strike king finesse worms in blue fleck....only they then add blue flakes / glitter. I never knew why it was called blue fleck when it's more of a plumb. I also struggile with the name.
Yup, that seems to be the consensus! I had no idea, but I, admittedly, don't know big box colors as well as I should! Weird thing is, the LW picture on their site shows blue "fleck" actually IN the pigment. Maybe it settled after I shook it, who knows!
There are a number of baits in the Bobby Garland line, but if you're looking for one like his "Baby Shad", absolutely! The Epic Bait Molds 3" Crappie Slayer would be perfect - epicbaitmolds.com/collections/ice-micro-baits/products/3-inch-crappie-slayer-hand-injection-mold
@@SDGCustomLurecraft I’m looking for the length……..you see everyone with minnow baits and ffs - I’ve never seen anyone with a bigger Bobby Garland lure (design).
FGF may have a 4" bait like that. At one point I had a coreshot jerk bait where the tail was just an extension of the core (like a pintail). Hope that helps!
They do have a swimming worm, its called the "Accelerator Worm", 5.7", so just short of 6, but maybe an option for you! epicbaitmolds.com/collections/stick-baits/products/5-7-inch-accelerator-worm-hand-injection-mold
I'd be guessing based on what I can see online (the Zoom version as there's many)... but I'm seeing black (medium), gold (small), and a blueish/purple (maybe "violet" as that's a purple that is on the blue-er side) - medium size but far less than the black (same with the gold... far less than the black). But... like I said, that's just a guess!

I love the mint brown, and I agree the other color did not look blue in anyway to me. Great video.
I used to call it Mint Chocolate - quite delicious, especially with a mix of large and small black flake to really drive home the texture. Glad you enjoyed it!
Blue fleck looks very much like the Berkley blue fleck color. Add blue glitter. It is an outstanding color!
I was thinking the same thing, I was hoping to see it with Blue Glitter.
Sounds interesting for sure!

This is probably my favorite series, being able to see colors properly makes a big difference. Thank You
Glad you dig it my friend!

Thanks Josh, glad it’s helpful to you!
Yeah I like this series....pretty cool!
Thanks Adam for showing us the colors and how to better at our craft!
Heck yeah man, that is the goal! And its my pleasure to do it!

Glad to do it, and I learn right along with you!
Happy to see this series back!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you!.... mint brown and jelly apple red were my picks.
Killer colors for sure!
So pumped to see this video!! I love these, I haven't even watched it yet, lol.
LOL, well I hope you enjoyed it once you DID watch it!
Adam, Blue Fleck was a zoom color and it would have blue flakes in them.
Yep. Not very saturated and a decent amount of blue flake. I think Mann's had that color, too, way back in the day.
Interesting, thanks for the background!
Gotcha, thx!

Very very nice Adam! Love the colors for sure. Great job my friend!
Thanks for watching David!
Headed to the playlist!
Enjoy the ride!
Awesome video Adam.
Pleasure is mine John, thanks!
Awesome colors
Glad you like em!
Those all look great Adam. Thanks for sharing this.
You bet Shawn, thanks for watching!
Nice work bro. So helpful. Appreciate ya

Yeah, so I've heard from others. Weird though that the LW website shows blue fleck/flake actually IN the pigment. Bizarre!

That would be an interesting experiment!
I do love this series. That black plum was impressive the blue fleck lol not so much. Awesome series brother
My pleasure! Black Plum was a standout for sure!
Jelly apple red reminds me of merthiolate that my mother used to put on my childhood cuts and scratches.
Yup, I can see that!
Loved it!
Excellent! I was hoping so!
Try mica powder for epoxy resin. It can withstand the heat and doesn't cost a lot of money. I got that from Amazon, whether pearl or UV active, the stuff is great
@@tomswobblerbau3701 yes sir, great stuff indeed! I’ve used various pearls and chameleon powders from Amazon, pretty cool stuff!
blue fleck will work in our socal westcoast waters jelly apple is good for our rockfish
Nice, very cool!
The jelly apple red would make a great crappie bait.
Was thinking the same thing, yes sir!
Black Plum for the win! 🏆
All lookin good tho
Dynamite pigment! I need to find the right Holoshift to really make it pop. Some gold Diamond Pearl would probably look amazing too!
I like the red craw
Turned out awesome, yes indeed!
That "blue fleck" does look just like the strike king finesse worms in blue fleck....only they then add blue flakes / glitter. I never knew why it was called blue fleck when it's more of a plumb. I also struggile with the name.
Glad I’m not alone! LOL
I still use the rocket grub mold to this day it's a great mold
Yes indeed!
I wonder if they named it blue fleck after Berkley's blue fleck, which seems like a purplish-red body with actual blue flake added to it????
Yup, that seems to be the consensus! I had no idea, but I, admittedly, don't know big box colors as well as I should! Weird thing is, the LW picture on their site shows blue "fleck" actually IN the pigment. Maybe it settled after I shook it, who knows!
Sir what do you think would happen if you combined the black plum with the pink orange one in the whip wad
It could look interesting, but if you mean a laminate... they'll all "become one" LOL over time! Especially with both being "bleeders".
@@SDGCustomLurecraft that's y to me it would be interesting
Add a drop or 3 of black or brown and watch the magic.
Wonderful things, yes indeed!
👍
👍👍
Do you have or know of a mold that is like the Bobby Garland but in a 3” or 4”?

Can you please suggest to Epic that we are looking for a 6-7 “ swimming worm 🪱 rocket 🚀 😊

Can you tell me what glitter is in Mardi Gras worm

First?
Looks like it!
I found it to be very sneaky as a color, 👀👊🏻
Which one is that?? You've got me curious :)
