you did a fantastic job on your baits.

looking good, with that mold your going to have to shoot a bunch of baits the color you want for the tail then cut the tails off and put them back in to the mold. Then shoot the body color. When you do this you want your mold to be warm so it doesnt cool your plastic to fast. You will also want your plastic to be hot (335-350) When you inject it hold some pressure on your injector for a few seconds to help it bond better with the tail.
