I stored some used Water Melon Candy Mag Trick Worms in the same Ziplock bag as some Junebug Mag Trick Worms.  Yesterday I took all of the worms out of the bag, and repaired them with Mend - It.  The Watermelon candy worms turned in to what I have always imagined the perfect color of purple would be.  I haven't tried them yet, so I can't say the bass like the color, but they will get their chance next time I go fishing.  Besides, If I like the color, the bass don't have a choice.

 

Has anyone else ever accidentally discovered a color they like?  They look far better than I can get a picture to show.  New color on the left, Zoom Junebug on the right.

 

   

Yes, I put some Zinkerzs dirt in with the deal and forgot about them.  Later I had what I called the dirty deal.

I intentionally mix colors. I love the standard colors, but I always mix a few watermelon worms in with my reddish worms. It makes a fantastic looking color that's not a super bright red, but also not a bubble gum pink. Another one that I really like is a disco violet colored plastic mixed with some red shad/red bug plastics.

 

I do the same with chartreuse. I rarely ever fish chartreuse colored plastics, but I buy them to mix with my watermelon, green pumpkin, & white plastics. This gives it some pop without being too wild.

 

I've never mixed dark colors, but looking at yours I might have to try it. It looks good.

Yes, definitely! 

 

Made a similar post about it.

 

I even mailed the bait to a member here! 

 

 

I try to make @LrgmouthShad aware of this juice but he insists that he will be keeping his plastics separate.  🥹

 

I caught my recent 11 and a quarter pounder on a mag speed worm in green pumpkin that had sat with red bug for too long and looked....odd.

 

I have given up on worrying about color - I just hope the fish like what I'm throwing cuz I'm throwing what's on sale/what I have - bleeding together or not.  😂🥴

I must bring order to a world of chaos. If I let colors interbreed, what monster am I? 

I did green pumpkin and methylate on some zoom trick worms.

The green pumpkin worms didn’t get affected much, but the methylate with the preen pumpkin came out looking pretty cool.

Dark thunder and clear silver dead fin darter meets red shad rage tail anaconda and becomes this color.  The red shad anaconda really likes to share its red with other baits.

If I have two stick worms that are about to break in the middle I'll go ahead and break cut both in half and melt the opposite colors together making a half color of each. Makes it interesting because then I don't know which color the bass liked LOL!!!

That red shad anaconda is such a  valuable work-horse as-is, I never had any sit around the stud-farm.  Maybe over the winter, if I have any left.

   

  Years ago I saw a side by side video of gizzard shad feeding on bottom, and a red shad curl tail worm...it was shocking how well the red shad worm represented a silvery fish

"DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS!" 😂😂😂

This was an experiment so not exactly an accident. Took a white swimbait and painted just the back with a black spike-it marker. Let it sit for a few days and the color faded down through the bait and turned it into an awesome black back shad with red/purple highlights.

Accidentally threw a green pumpkin magic speed craw with jj'd chart craws into a new bag of them.  Now they all almost glow but are still gpm colored.  

I spilled some chartreuse spike it into a bag of oxblood dingers and got a AMAZING motor oil ish color.

Oh for sure. I’ve done it accidentally since I mix a lot of stuff in one bag to cut down on bulk. And for a while years ago I intentionally used to toss a couple culrpit red shad worms or something like that in with other colors. Got some really

beat ones that way that caught fish. 
 

like @Pat Brown mentioned above. I’m trying not to stress color. Green pumpkin, watermelon red,  baby bass. They’ve all caught fish for me on the same day same waters. So I don’t stress it too much.  Buttttttt that green pumpkin/black blue mixed colors is about perfect! Works on sunny and cloudy days. Clear and stained water for sure! 

It will be the only color that works but you can’t duplicate it when it does🤬

I've had some bluebacked flukes (not sure the color) that got a red belly from a red worm. They worked great until they were gone. Been thinking about making some more intentionally.

Years ago when I was injecting a batch of worms, I measured the colorant wrong and made a very nice Watermelon colored worm very different than my "normal" formula. Turned our great. I loved them. My Pops loved them. The Bass loved them. The only problem, it was an "oops" to begin with so I had no idea what the exact formula was to duplicate them. Just went back to "regular" ol' Watermelon after that. Haha. 

How long does the color bleed take when mixing two different color plastics? 

I found a chartreuse plastic worm and a green pumpkin grub a few years ago.  I tossed them on the floor of my back seat.  A couple of weeks later I got them out and the grub had chartreuse swirls on it.  

I was fishing a swim jig with a green pumpkin grub trailer, and not getting any bites so I put this swirly grub on.  I caught maybe 6 bass on it before the grub was ruined.
