As the forecast was not good today I thought I try and make some different colours to my recent successful lure

I will try these out over the net few weeks if the weather stays fine, I have also added some 3d eyes to see if that makes any difference. I would appreciate any help on colours from more experienced soft plastic lure as to different colour types and what seems to work

Very nice Alan well done they look good , didn't you make an Orange one for Keith so as he can dangle it as carrot for his wabbits

 

[alan aubert]

I have made some orange ones previously he is welcome to them

Lovely looking stuff Alan.

Tough question on colours really, everyone has their own pet theories. Here some more general observations:-

Orange seems to be a popular colour amongst some anglers, including commercials (as **** said yesterday)
Dark purple seems to fire the wrasse up
White is consistently good, especially irredescent pearl. Bloodhead even better based on pure numbers used successfully.
Transparent belly and sand coloured back works well on some shads.

Best of luck

Paul

They are great Alan.....tweaking the design all the time eh mate........:-D:-D:-D

Nice to see the radioactive snot colour is still there.......;-);-)

Trev have you started yet

I'm still expermenting, but the best colours in my home mades have been brown for wrasse and pearl for bass.

Been working on 2 tones now, clear glitter with another colour on the back, pink, orange, watermelon, brown etc etc. They look bloody good but no idea if they will work. poretty rough out there but gorgeous sunshine. Should try and find some shelter really...

Not yet Alan...still offshore mate......Have been quite ill and haven't had the time to put my order in yet. Are they pretty quick with the orders from France?

 

[Andy Marquis]

My stuff took about 10 days i think it was trev, and that includes the standard quarantine in the UK while they decide if they want a channel islander to have their post (my new rod has been in quarantine from Japan for 6 days now...)

Mine took a week Trev. Make sure you put all you want on the order, I tried to order 2 more liquid colours and they wanted the same £10 p+p for two tiny bottles.

 

[trev richardson]

Thanks Guys.............I daren't add any more to the order so I might just have enough.................;-)

 

[alan aubert]

Mine has been about a week if that order as much as you want It is a pity you cannot get the stuff from the uk

 

[trev richardson]
