Here are a pair of plastics I make as ice baits. Both have a solid reputation and lots of people ask for these, mostly in glow colors....glow red, glow purple, glow green being the hit list for glow colors.



A while ago I bought a bunch of micro glitters only to find that they bled when used in plastics. As per my usual habit I hung the glitters and the baits I'd made on hooks in my tackle closet. And the other day a friend asked about some glow stuff so I got him taken care of and gave him a packet of each of the bleeding color plastics as samples. These colors are what you see in the picture. Came back saying both colors were a hit with the fish, thus a hit with him. He said "I want more. Lots more". lol Now I am glad I didn't toss that glitter.

The pinkish one is the most perfect cotton candy I have ever made. Apparently the purple in the glitter mix bled just enough to get the pink tinge in there. The cotton candy is made up of my bluegill glitter colors of blue, green, purple and copper. Its still pretty as cotton candy. The brown I guess I'll call winter crawdad. Its got red, orange, gold and brown glitter in it and I guess the brown doesn't care for heat.

I seldom throw out anything that I consider a flop only because I might be able to use it later on down the road. Such was the case here. My buddy might be the only soul on this planet that likes these bait colors but the fish also support his allegations. Sure glad I kept that glitter.
