I like the one I have. It the Baby Shad Swim Bait from Jacobs. Baby Shad Swim Bait - 2" bait mold - 20 cavity - JACOBS MOLD & MACHINE I can shoot multiple colors and clear stuff good enough for the crappie to eat.

Jacobs has a two inch in a grub body. Not a bad bait, like all of the paddletail rubs they are laid out wrong for a top/bottom color shot without doing a lot of tedious cutting and even then you get only about a 30% successful fill rate. Tail colors are easy though and he does have a tail mold that fits a 3" paddletail worm and I think will fit the 2" grub. You'd have to ask him. I have the worm, the paddletail that I think is 1.75" and the tail-only molds and even the tail-only makes a unique bait very similar to the Slider 1" grubs....fun in a tail color.

Mike you could use a dual injector with that mold to get your two colors.

I don't think you can get a top/bottom laminate even with the twin injectors because of the layout.

stopped to think about it you are probably right you would get half and half of the body which wouldn't be the back and belly.

If a tail mold isn't a mold he makes "yet", ask if he can cut a ten cavity for you. The tail mold he did for me I asked for and he was good about doing it and the cost was fair too. I make baits using just the tail mold. I'll shot a few molds full of chartreuse, then trim them back and shoot in a finish color. Darned small paddletail baits when fished on a 1/32 head cast on an 8 hook. Deadly on sunfish and crappies.

Here Bug....

This bait is made using the Jacobs tail mold. Before the eye dip its dead on at 3/4".



This one chartreuse tail of course with a purple firecracker body. The red eyes set this little guy off in a big way.
