Black Grape & Candy Bug

Featured Replies

WHat's the difference in Colors with these 2 baits? Is one Purple (Black Grape) and the other (Candybug) Blue?

He is referring to these Zoom colors!

Junebug is Grape and Green Flake, right?

 

I imagine this is Grape + some other flake combination. (Junebug Red adds red flakes to the green, obviously).

Based on the pics from the Zoom website, black grape is a very dark purple.  Candy bug looks like black grape but with flakes in it.

I have the baby brush hog in black grape. The middle is super dark but not really black and the outside is my translucent.

Black grape is an old favourite here in Missouri. I've used it off and on for a long time. Always a good color.

Purple and green flakes, reminds me of Junebug only different.

Candy Bug is a limited color run. It is Junebug purple with the "candy" flakes found in watermelon candy and the like. I prefer it to the standard Junebug color as the flake in standard Junebug is a bold green. The Candy flake is smaller in size and a bit more muted. there are several colors blended to make the Candy flake. 

 

Hope this helps...

Coming back to this to say Candy Bug is absolutely beautiful.

Picked up a bag of baby brush hogs in this color, and can’t wait to see how it’ll do.

Hope you have better luck than I did. I tried them in this color last year and couldn't get a fish to look at them.

I don’t know if I’ll be successful with the baby brush hog at all. But I did get some in GP with a colored flake, too. Need to figure out how to retrieve them under different conditions.

 

So I don’t think I’ll be able to blame the color. My experience isn’t long, but I have caught fish with Trick Worms in Old Purple, Black Grape, and with Speed Craws in Junebug. Candy Bug is somewhere on that spectrum.

Looks to me like flake is the only difference.
