Thread: Holographic Zebra Shads

Snake I had actuallu been thinking something similar like shooting half then putting a dot of dye and then laying something reflective over it then shooting the top, it would make like a bleeding core over reflection. Do you think it would work?

Ya done good, bubba

Just let me know when you're gonna run a batch to sell !!

What lengths are you going to be able to produce those in ??

A little silver or silver & blue metal flake thrown in (very little, at that) would really make them pop in the sunlight in clear to slightly stained water. That's just a "suggestion", as they ROCK just the way they are !!!

Thank yall for all the complements. Gives me more motivation to try and make "better" baits! I use that term loosely here.

For those wanting to try this, keep in mind that what you put in the bait will have to withstand heat up to the low to mid 300 degrees. Also keep in mind that a hook will have to pierce it easily. The orientation of the foil also plays a factor in it also. Luretape is too thick and hard for this.

Wow, dems are the bananas

You could sure get some orders if you ever decide to go that route. Those are collector grade plastics. Go ahead and let your imagination loose.

Then I dipped in clearasol with UV enhancer. Ya Dig em? As you can see the colors change at different angles.

can u put one on a hook so I can see how it is supposed to be rigged....really like those baits and sounds very labor intensive.....thanks in advance...FV

Money!

Fishervet you would just rig it on a jig head like you would any other soft plastic. I will try to remember tomorrow to put up a pic.
