I am really happy to watch this. I bought 2 packets of motor oil stick baits about 20 years ago here in South Africa in a small shop. The bass could NOT leave those baits. The latest motor oil baits i can buy is only the damiki fat albert. Although it is a nice soft plastic it is not nearly what that original was. I am a teacher and a few years away from retirement so i am looking to start making baits to suppliment my pension.
Bro!! I just got a bunch of MF colors from a seller on ebay and guess what was in the box!? JELLY RED!! and original purple!! And the chartreuse. So im gonna make some badass motor oil!! Cant wait. Keep doing what you do brother and ill be ordering some pixie dust soon.
Great color.....I over cooked a mixture I came up with and it really looks good for some reason.....accidently overcooked it and got killer results...it was like 415 degrees hot and it made the red pop more.....cool video for sure man!.....thx
Also stoked on the bags, they look great. I just got a new logo done and now I'm designing the bag. So cool the see the advancements in the pigment and flake side. I use you and Tommy for like 99.5% of what I do. Definitely gonna get the new rupees and some of those sticks. The silicone mat is gnarly. I keep silicone baking sheets on my work station. And if the lips over lap it makes the molds rock. So much cool stuff in this video
Bless you, bless you, bless you! I now have a new HERO!! I have missed the original motor oil for so long. Now I shall try my hand at mixing it. It sure would be very nice to use M-F colors, but Barlow's is sold out of just about all of their colors. So, another thank you for giving the recipe in Lureworks colors. Really appreciate all the time you put in researching and experimenting. I know it took a lot of time. I've been following you for awhile. You da man!
Thank You for the kind words, but this recipe comes directly from Jeff at MF, so the only research I did was to try and find the right Lureworks colors to re-create it with available colors today.
@@baitchuckin Thank you for the update. I'll be looking forward to their arrival on the 8bit Website. However, I won't be able to purchase them until next year when I visit the U.S. in the spring, as I currently live in Sweden.
Man, that was an awesome video I learned so much. I’m definitely trying that recipe very soon. The color you made at the end with the holoshift and the siren scales. WOW!
Awesome! Thank you! Yeah now that we know the recipe, we can tweak it in ways to suit our individual likings. Very cool of Jeff to release the secret formula!
You're welcome! It's my pleasure! Thank You for being one of the inspirations to get me to start making bait videos!!! I hope you can still squeak one out from time to time in-between softball seasons!
So re watching the video while in my bait shop. I’m still lacking on colors. I have the bait makers sampler from lureworks. Had to use regular chartreuse junebug 50/50, 2 drops red, 3 drops hot pink it’s close to original but it works.
I like pitching under docks and around brush piles with motor oil trickworms(they do have glitter from mom and pop bait makers here in texas) wacky rigged or neko rigged because when you are working the bait back out to the sunlight its almost like changes its colors and seems like I get more bites than the standard pumpkin or watermelon colors
Amazing! BUT... Don't you need half amount of drops per two colours when mixing to get the same saturation as the original that is pre blended? 🤔 30 drops of original motoroil equals 15 drops og chartruse and 15 drops of purple? 😊 And that last colour... Oh man... STAR BLAZE MOTOROIL 🎉 (but probably with half the amount of drops of that motoroil mix base) Best regards from Norway 🤟🏻
Yes and No, depends on the intensity of how the Motor Oil was mixed. I obviously went a bit heavy to match the bottle I had, but the beauty of knowing the recipe now is you can scale it back and tweak it as much as you like to make your own version of Motor Oil. 🙌🏼
Not gonna lie, when I saw the mat my first thought was "nice Magic the Gathering playmat". Also, my son (he's the prosthetic tech who actually fabricates my legs) is going to be ordering a couple Joker here real soon to make my new prosthetics with. I'll send you pics when they're done.
Please do that would be awesome!!!! That's going to be one bad ass color shifting leg!!! And YES, these would make great MTG mats as well! I played all the way back in Beta. Still have my Mox Ruby after all these years. Only one I ever pulled! LOL
@@baitchuckin when I think about how much the cards we played with in the 90's are worth now, I could retire and just fish. Of course we weren't thinking about that as we took our unsleeved deck, wrapped with a rubber band out of the bottom of a backpack. Then played on the floor in the highschool hallway. Lol
I love the 4.1" whipwad it's becoming one of my favorites. I also like a hook slot because of the way I usually rig stuff. But it is killer regardless, just means I gotta hit up Joe and Adam for jigs lol. Also so awesome of them to trust you with the recipe that killer stuff
Yes agreed, the 4.1" WhipWad is a killer bait regardless of hook slot. Yeah it was cool of Jeff to release the recipe. I hope he enjoyed the video, the community response in the comments seems really positive and thankful!
I suggest using the Lureworks Chartreuse Dye, Black Grape, and Cherry Red Dye. You can start with the ratios I mentioned and pull back on individual colors from there if you don't like it.
@@baitchuckintotally didn't see that you already mentioned the LW colors. I did notice that FGF has their MF motor oil back in stock too. I wonder if that comes from, same batch as MF makes though.
the FGF MF series of colors are literally re-bottled MF colors. So that's the revised Motor Oil. If it's back in stock, I suggest buying up what you can!!
No I'm not worried about it. Motor Oil is a bleeding color anyhow, so it shouldn't be that big of an issue. Another substitute is the Jelly Apple Red by Lureworks, but that bleeds a little also I believe.
Still I'm trying to figure out why they released it if they don't even have the colors in stock and do they plan on making the colors the only one I could find was non bleed strawberry and purple 339 rx2
Hi Nemo, Jeff released the recipe so that some folks who had the colors can still make the recipe. Also, knowing the base colors, it gives the formula, so people can experiment with other similar colors available in the market today. The alternative, was for it to disappear along with MF. I prefer to have the formula publicly available now myself.
You can get it from the MF website if they have some left. There are my affiliate links in the description. You can also check Fat Guys Fishing, they have re-bottled the MF Motor Oil under their brand, the MF'n series of colors. Give that a try too.
New to the channel and I was just wondering if you can do the video on lure works colorant or are they one out there for dead on colorant??? Thanks again enjoyed the content
I would start with 20 drops each of the Lureworks Chartreuse Dye and Black Grape, then only a drop or two of Cherry Red Dye. Then you can branch off from there.
Oh it already has. Like I mentioned in the video, colors is all they are doing now and Jeff is not sure how much longer he will keep doing it, he is ready for retirement. 🤷🏻♂️
Yes I'm very sad to see it fade away as well. Some of the best colors in the industry. Jeff is truly a wizard at mixing colors. Unfortunately this is usually how it goes with family businesses...
No, I tried but unfortunately Dead On colors are very thick and opaque and do not mix very well together. For motor oil you need transparent colors which is why I called out the specific dye colors for Lureworks. You need dyes not pigments for motor oil to look proper. Dead On has a version of motor oil that they call “synthetic” but it doesn’t come close to the Motor Oil in my personal opinion. I love dead on colors and I have the complete set of them but they are not transparent. 🤷🏻♂️
@@baitchuckin thank you for the feedback I do have one lure works dye there version of motor oil but it’s not the same so maybe I’ll order there colors to try to make it. Do you know if mf will start making colors again soon or not? Would like to try some before they hang it up if they do so.
@@tythompson5403 There are still some of their colors available on their website but it's slim pickins right now. You can also check Zeiners and Barlows to see if they have any stock of MF colors left.
So confirming Jeff/MF is DONE..DONE DONE?? Someone needs to buy the company. MF has been around, too long to just disappear. Back when I started in 1994, MF was the first plastic I used.
Unfortunately it’s looking like it will be that way soon. I’ve inquired a little about a purchase, but from what I’ve heard, I’m not sure it could even be sold at this point. It’s very unfortunate and makes me sad to think about.
Nice! I’m looking at moving to the BP 242 myself. I do however use Dead On for all of my hand pouring as I feel you get much longer working times with it, which is great for hand pouring 👍🏼
No, nobody purchased the plastic side. Jeff was the one who mixed all the plastic in their old facility and their new location in Oklahoma doesn't allow for big rigs to get on/off the property for deliveries at the moment. It's dirt roads where they are at. Jeff has no further plans to sell plastic anymore from MF. Finding it from distributors is the only way to get whatever is left out there.
I am really happy to watch this. I bought 2 packets of motor oil stick baits about 20 years ago here in South Africa in a small shop. The bass could NOT leave those baits. The latest motor oil baits i can buy is only the damiki fat albert. Although it is a nice soft plastic it is not nearly what that original was. I am a teacher and a few years away from retirement so i am looking to start making baits to suppliment my pension.
Awesome!! Now you can make an unlimited supply for yourself, or forward this video to the local bait maker you use for your plastics. 🙌🏼
Bro!! I just got a bunch of MF colors from a seller on ebay and guess what was in the box!? JELLY RED!! and original purple!! And the chartreuse. So im gonna make some badass motor oil!! Cant wait. Keep doing what you do brother and ill be ordering some pixie dust soon.
That's AWESOME! grats on the score of new colors!!!
Now I don’t have to keep it a secret anymore 😂 I can confirm that it really is that easy to make folks 🤙
You got that right! The secret is out!!! 💪🏼
Great color.....I over cooked a mixture I came up with and it really looks good for some reason.....accidently overcooked it and got killer results...it was like 415 degrees hot and it made the red pop more.....cool video for sure man!.....thx
Hey, sometimes that can be the winning ticket. I believe Bob Ross calls that a Happy Accident! 😝
Michael love the new products. I can’t wait to get some rupees. See the 3d prints in the background there on the bench.
Awesome! I can't wait for you to try the Rupees out! Yes those are a prints of some designs I'm working on.
@@baitchuckin nice I got a few going myself that I can’t wait to throw on my printer
Very cool!!! 3D printing is so powerful, I love it!!
Really cool of you thanks for sharing
Thank You! But really all the thanks goes to Jeff at MF 🙏🏼
👍👍Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the support!!!
Oh Damn, the secrets out lol.
Yup! It is finally out in the open after all these years! 👊🏼
Good stuff man! Definitely gets my wheels spinning 🧐🥸😵💫!
Right on! There is so much we can do now that we know the actual ingredients used!! 🙌🏼
I love those colors, especially the last one. That will kill red drum. thanks man
You're welcome!!!
Man that was a great video, we need more of these type videos. Us guys just learning really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing.
More to come! Lots more to come don't worry!!!
Also stoked on the bags, they look great. I just got a new logo done and now I'm designing the bag. So cool the see the advancements in the pigment and flake side.

I knew you would like the silicone mats, I got one with your name on it don't worry!
Damn Michael. You really leveled up in this Video. Awesome!!! Just Awesome!
Thank You!!! I appreciate the support!!
Another great one, love the history! Keep up the great work, those bait shots are incredible.
Thanks for rolling through V! I learned all of my filming skills from you so the shots better be good!!
They all look fantastic but the last one was so good.
Thank You!

@@baitchuckin Well, that Lureworks recipe is greatly appreciated. At least until I can find some M-F colors.
Love it!!!! Thank you for this... crazy how simple it has been this whole time!!! 😂
You're so welcome! Yeah I was baffled at how simple it really was this whole time LOL.
subscribed, thumbs up and waiting for the online sale of rugs👍
It will be a few more weeks. As soon as they arrive I will have them on the 8bit Website.

Wow, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It's a powerful recipe that can be tweaked to make all sorts of different versions.

You're welcome! It's my pleasure! Thank You for being one of the inspirations to get me to start making bait videos!!! I hope you can still squeak one out from time to time in-between softball seasons!
Michael, thank you for sharing. Really enjoy your content.
I appreciate that! Thank You for watching!!
So re watching the video while in my bait shop. I’m still lacking on colors. I have the bait makers sampler from lureworks.
Had to use regular chartreuse junebug 50/50, 2 drops red, 3 drops hot pink it’s close to original but it works.
Glad you were able to make it work with the colors you have! This is what's so awesome about the recipe being out there finally. Awesome stuff!!
You’re my new hero!
Glad you enjoyed it!! 😂 🙌🏼
I like pitching under docks and around brush piles with motor oil trickworms(they do have glitter from mom and pop bait makers here in texas) wacky rigged or neko rigged because when you are working the bait back out to the sunlight its almost like changes its colors and seems like I get more bites than the standard pumpkin or watermelon colors
Yeah the color change gets'em every time! It's such an awesome color!
Amazing! BUT... Don't you need half amount of drops per two colours when mixing to get the same saturation as the original that is pre blended? 🤔 30 drops of original motoroil equals 15 drops og chartruse and 15 drops of purple? 😊 And that last colour...

Please do that would be awesome!!!! That's going to be one bad ass color shifting leg!!! And YES, these would make great MTG mats as well! I played all the way back in Beta. Still have my Mox Ruby after all these years. Only one I ever pulled! LOL

I really appreciate this!! I use the changeable motor oil in my black plum color
My pleasure!!! Now you can tweak it even more to your liking!
Your bags looks great, love the logo
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!!
I love the 4.1" whipwad it's becoming one of my favorites. I also like a hook slot because of the way I usually rig stuff. But it is killer regardless, just means I gotta hit up Joe and Adam for jigs lol. Also so awesome of them to trust you with the recipe that killer stuff

Thanks for sharing the recipe! Just wondering if you have the Lure Works version?
I suggest using the Lureworks Chartreuse Dye, Black Grape, and Cherry Red Dye. You can start with the ratios I mentioned and pull back on individual colors from there if you don't like it.
A 50/50 mix of Lureworks Black Grape and Lureworks chartreuse dye works too.
Awesome to hear!!! I may have gone too heavy with 30 and 30 of each, I felt like I could have pulled back on the chartreuse dye a little.
@@baitchuckintotally didn't see that you already mentioned the LW colors. I did notice that FGF has their MF motor oil back in stock too. I wonder if that comes from, same batch as MF makes though.

Great color, wonder why the big companies don’t offer that color
Many have tried, but it's all about the source materials. That's the real secret.
Oh! It’s out now!! Haha
🤙💀🤙
Yessir!!! Have fun with it!!!
Dope video man don you think the cherry red dye bleeding will be a problem? I know I have a ton of lw reds that may be a another route that’ll work
No I'm not worried about it. Motor Oil is a bleeding color anyhow, so it shouldn't be that big of an issue. Another substitute is the Jelly Apple Red by Lureworks, but that bleeds a little also I believe.
Now if only MF would get production up and running.
Sadly I don't see that happening anytime soon. There is always hope!
Awesome! 🤘🏻
Thank You!!
I’m thoroughly baffled it was grape
Well not grape, it was and still is #6 Purple but yeah i get your point LOL Like REALLY?
Where or who did you go through for your bait bags?
I went with a packaging supplier that I've worked with previously in the headset industry.
Still I'm trying to figure out why they released it if they don't even have the colors in stock and do they plan on making the colors the only one I could find was non bleed strawberry and purple 339 rx2

Do you mean the Lureworks version of Motor Oil? I give the Lureworks colors to use in the recipe explanation for Motor Oil.
That Would Look Awesome With a Craw Bait
I poured some craw baits there at the end. Did you see them? I think they look awesome in the Motor Oil! 🙌🏼
Awesome video, what would you recommend on drops for the lureworks dyes?
I would start with 20 drops each of the Lureworks Chartreuse Dye and Black Grape, then only a drop or two of Cherry Red Dye. Then you can branch off from there.
@baitchuckin I'll definitely try that, by the way keep up the hard work bc it will pay off soon.
Thank you!! I will keep forging ahead!! 💪🏼
Are they ever going to make any colors again.
I sure hope so... I hope so....
If MF sells, could it possibly become "8-Bit MF"?
I tried looking into that, unfortunately it’s a lot more complicated with several family members involved. 🤷🏻♂️
@@baitchuckin Id hate to see it fall apart.
Oh it already has. Like I mentioned in the video, colors is all they are doing now and Jeff is not sure how much longer he will keep doing it, he is ready for retirement. 🤷🏻♂️
@@baitchuckin What a shame, great products and Jeff was always good to me when I had to reach out.
Yes I'm very sad to see it fade away as well. Some of the best colors in the industry. Jeff is truly a wizard at mixing colors. Unfortunately this is usually how it goes with family businesses...
Can you tell me how close Barlow's fluorescent chartreuse is to mf
Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with Barlow's Flourescent Chartreuse.
I was the 500 👍
Yeah!!! Awesome!! We made it! Thank You!!! 🙌🏼
What website to order mats and spatula
They will be available on the 8bit Baits website within the next few weeks. 👍🏼
Any recipes for dead on plastic ? Can’t find any mf colors anywhere . Unfortunately I’m newer to making baiting so I only own dead on colors

Couldn’t get any mf colors so went with lure works ,is it still 50/50 with the lure works chartreuse /purple 10-15 drops of both to start ?
Go figure they sold out are they ever going to keep up on their colors
I'm not really sure. You can check the fat guys fishing website, they rebottled some MF colors as their MF'n color line.
So how do you do it without MF?
Without MF you can use Lureworks Chartreuse Dye, Black Grape, and Cherry Red Dye
So confirming Jeff/MF is DONE..DONE DONE?? Someone needs to buy the company. MF has been around, too long to just disappear. Back when I started in 1994, MF was the first plastic I used.

Are you using MF plastisol?
Yes for this video I used MF Regular plastisol. They do not sell plastisol anymore however so I suggest either Bait Plastics or Dead On Plastics
@@baitchuckin i use bait plastics now.
Nice! I’m looking at moving to the BP 242 myself. I do however use Dead On for all of my hand pouring as I feel you get much longer working times with it, which is great for hand pouring 👍🏼
