I have not tried your method but it sounds good all have to try that. There is one other way I haven't tried yet cutting a piece off of both sides of your plastic bait and reshooting it with clear I know it would be very time-consuming but it should look fantastic. Were wanting to try a soldering gun and put lines down the plastic baits body and shoot to have stripes on your bait that will be very time-consuming but you would have an awesome look in bait. We also thought about putting a spiral down the body also it would look like you would have stripes on your plastic bait.
