Paydirt (BP2686) by Brothers Pyrotechnics is a heavy-hitting nine-shot aerial cake that combines large two-inch breaks with silver crackling bouquets, red glitter, and rich golden brocade. Its low shot count allows each shell to deliver substantial aerial coverage and a strong report, giving the performance the feel of a compact finale rack.
The cake fires its opening and middle shots at a deliberate pace, allowing the layered colors and crackling effects to develop fully. It then ends with a powerful three-shot finale that fills the sky with multiple large breaks at once.

Paydirt launches large aerial shots that open into silver crackling bouquets accented by vivid red glitter and sweeping golden brocade. The combination balances bright color, lingering gold, and energetic crackle within each substantial break.
The deliberate sequence keeps the effects separated and easy to appreciate before the final three tubes launch together. This closing volley increases the display’s width, volume, and intensity for a clearly defined finale.
Bright silver bouquets expand across the sky before breaking into lively crackling stars. The effect produces both visual texture and an unmistakable sizzling sound that remains active after the shell’s initial report.
These silver effects provide a brilliant foundation for the warmer red and gold accents.
Red glitter flickers throughout the breaks, creating bold points of color against the silver crackle. Golden brocade branches spread outward and descend more slowly, extending the visibility of each shot.
The three effects work together to produce layered breaks with color, movement, and hang time rather than a simple single-effect burst.
Paydirt uses large two-inch effects to generate broad aerial coverage. With only nine shots sharing the full 500-gram powder allowance, the cake prioritizes break size and impact over rapid-fire quantity.
Each shell is presented as a major feature, making Paydirt well suited to spectators who prefer fewer, larger shots instead of smaller effects fired continuously.
The final three shots launch as a concentrated closing volley, placing multiple silver, red, and gold effects in the sky together. This sudden increase in activity gives the cake a satisfying finish and distinguishes the finale from the individually paced opening sequence.
The three-shot ending also makes Paydirt an effective transition into a larger finale barrage.
As part of the Brothers Heavyweights line, Paydirt is designed around substantial breaks, dependable pacing, and strong aerial impact. Its traditional straight-firing arrangement keeps the effects focused overhead while the large shells create the impression of a compact professional-style sequence.
The result is a straightforward but powerful nine-shot cake with a polished progression and an unmistakable finale.

Made by Brothers Pyrotechnics
Paydirt works best during the later portion of a fireworks display, where its large breaks can begin building toward the finale. Its silver, red, and gold palette pairs especially well with brocade crowns, chrysanthemums, red strobes, and other warm-colored effects.
For a smaller backyard show, Paydirt can serve as the closing cake because its three-shot volley provides a strong finish. In a larger program, position it immediately before a faster multi-shot barrage to transition from deliberate heavy shells into a dense finale.
Place Paydirt upright on firm, level ground and stabilize it according to the product label. Keep spectators, buildings, vehicles, trees, dry vegetation, and overhead obstructions outside the required safety distance.
Light the fuse at arm’s length and move away immediately. Never hold the cake, lean over it, attempt to relight it, or approach it prematurely following a malfunction. Keep a dependable water source nearby and thoroughly soak the spent product before disposal.
Always follow the product label and all applicable state and local fireworks laws.
