Hey Carl,
If your asking me I don't know, a guy from down there said he wanted to get some of my Dying Shad in that color, he was supposed to send me one but I haven't seen anything yet.

If it is the one I am thinking of, it is :

1 cup plastic
1 1/8 tsp white pearl
Small pinch of .008 black flake
2 1/8 tsp Iridescent flake (Delmart)

Hope this helps. Pretty much looks like the Texas Shad in the DD22 crankbait. Might even want to try a light violet vein too. Make it look just like the crank color !

Carl, is that iridescent flake the clear kind that you can't really see unless the light hits it? And I guess I should also ask if you know whether it's solvent-fast as I'll be using it in an MIBK solution.

Andi, the flake looks just like the strands of FlashBou we put on our spinnerbaits, except chopped up of'course. You can see it without light hitting it. Solid color. Very shiny so to speak. You would have to pose the solvent question to Del. I use it in Lurecraft plastic and have no problems. And beware, you spill it, it goes EVERYWHERE ! LOL.

Thanks Carl!

I sometimes put a pinch of fine .004 glitter in the letters I write to our dear friend up in Missouri. He's a manly man who runs cattle and he gets really PO'd over it!

Ivan says everywhere is when you drop a 5lb bag of powder coat in a room full of dogs!

You guys are making me want to start playing with plastic. I keep wanting to find a good mold and make some super soft football/finesse trailers, but I never have the time...

Smokin' Green Shad

1 cup platic
4 drops black (LC)
1/8 tsp .008 black flake
1/8 tsp .008 silver flake
1/8 tsp .015 green flake

Excellent fluke color.
As an alternative , use 1/2 of 1/8 tsp green highlight to give a nice shimmer effect. Can make a nice blue glimmer as well with the same recipe above, but with blue highlight.

I like to add iridescent and/or halographic gold flakes to my smoke colors. Just something a little different.
Here it is in a purple smoke.

Midnight Blues
2 Cup Plastic (LC)
50 Drops Jet Black (LC)
