Your pink and orange bait got me thinking again well after I thought I was done for the day. As I mentioned in your thread showing your bait, this color scheme is a hot one for this area in the summer. I went down and got in the bait bucket and couldn't find any so I felt as though I was lacking. I had to cook a few of my own . lol

ctom the Texas bug that you thought was hot orange was not it is chartreuse the pink made it look darker I guess I should've told you that say you got some hot looking baits only have to get out the shop to see if I can't make the up some of those pretty things. oh I almost forgot I used bubblegum with chartreuse and dual injected it. PS I see a lot of bubbles in your plastic

Small plastic, bubbles in plastic = light reflection. I pay no attention to bubbles in baits I plan to use. The more reflection I can get from a bait the better.

I'm cooking off a box that had a little left in it and was in the garage until the other day when we went sub, sub zero. I'm sure there are some moisture balls rolling around in the remaining plastic...I know there are because I can hear them snapping in the microwave.

I put these together last night waiting for Ma to get ready to go to the grandson's college basketball game. I didn't mix any colors for these, instead using colors already used and handy in bowls.

ctom On the plastic bait in the picture are you shooting both sides of the mold and putting it back together and shooting the center with black or are you putting a little bit of chartreuse and a little bit of black and shooting the pink and clear dipping to lock the eyeballs and not sure how you build on your baits pretty well know the basics of how to do that but I'm not sure how you do it anyway your work looks good like always maybe I haven't got the patience to mess around that much I like to use the dual injector quite a bit since I got used to it now I got a lot of the, Calhoun plastic to use up then we are switching to a different plastic we already have but I don't use it very often we've been having a lot of problems with the Calhoun mainly it darkens too fast on the third reheat don't have this problem with 502 from lurecraft this is a medium grade which I like very well.
