Morning Dawn Color

Post by Bbrotz » Wed Jan 26, 2022 9:10 pm

I’m going to start making my own drop shot baits. I’m looking to place an order for all the supplies but before I do, does anybody have any suggestions on what colors to make roboworms morning Dawn? I’m assuming some sort of pink colorant and some blue hi light powder. I would appreciate any suggestions from someone who has made this color before, thanks.

morning dawn has a few variants out there, some more purple than others, some more blue.

a good place to start is lureworks cerise (pink with a little blue highlight already in it) and a sky blue mica powder for the belly (bait plastics has one, several available on ebay).

you can also use a hot pink or florescent pink with a little purple added to dull it down.

as for places to order supplies:

molds: fat guys fishing, epic bait molds, angling ai, basstackle, bts molds, lurecraft, lureworks, hog salad molds, fish taco molds, driven cnc, and several others.

injectors (if you arent hand pouring): fat guys fishing, basstackle and N2 manufacturing (others make injectors too, but these 3 are far and away the best). make sure the nozzle has a locking pin and not just press fit, 350 degree plastisol is no joke.

colors, glitter, etc: lureworks, bait plastics, lurecraft, mf manufacturing, doit (the x2 colors are good), dead on plastix,

plastisol: bait plastics, calhoun, mf manufacturing, dead on plastix, lurecraft, lureworks. dont buy doit essentials, it yellows super easy and bubbles alot.

there is a bunch of groups for bait making on facebook, tons of knowledge, molds and equipment for sale, good place to get an idea of what you can do in your garage!

I appreciate all the help. I ordered everything except the plastisol, I was thinking of going with baitplastics but I still haven’t made up my mind. Would the super soft formula be best for drop shot baits?

bait plastics is what i use, and its good stuff. super soft will work for drop shot baits but it will not be durable at all, i use 242, a medium blend, for almost everything. i think they offer a sample pack with a few different plastisol blends in it, might be worth trying something like that to find out which suits your needs best.

I ended up ordering the super soft and if it’s too soft I figure I’ll just add some hardener. Thanks for all the help guys, I’ll post some pictures once I get some baits made up

I like the super soft. Works amazing on stick baits, and still more durable with yamamotos IMO. I fished my senkos against my buddy and we caught roughly the same number of fish.

Super soft + glass bead media is an awesome combo that doesn't mess your colors up like salt does.

Well I made my first batch of baits and they came out pretty good. When they say super soft, they mean SUPER SOFT. I might add some hardener to the next batch to firm them up a bit, but I will wait until I fish them to see how I like the action. Also, I had a problem with air bubbles but I’m assuming that’s from how I mixed the gallon of plastisol, next time I will try mixing it with a paint stick to see if that helps. As for trying to match roboworms morning Dawn color, I used lureworks morning Dawn colorant and some blue hilite powder. I know I’m not going to get really close to a match without a double or triple injector, but they came out looking good. I think I’m going to try the blue pearl powder next and see where that gets me.

I also made a batch with lureworks chameleon dye and some red flake and man was I blown away. It changes colors from purple to brown depending on the light and reminds me of margarita mutilator. Definitely excited to test these out on the water
