Plastic bait color bleeding question

Question for you jig pouring folks.

I've fished with plastics all my life and have had several "tackle box colors" resulting from putting the wrong colored bait into the container with other colored baits. I suppose most of us have done that at one time of another.

If I put a light colored jig in with a darker colored jig, the colors usually bleed from the darker ones to the lighter one

So now for my question... On laminated baits with a dark back and light belly, or a dark body and light tail, what keeps the colors from bleeding from one to the other?

First off are you aware that there are "No Bleed colors" ?

Some pours like a bleed to their bait
as that batch would be kept separate

Keep em sprayed with el cheap o mineral oil! Great value will work just fine poke u a small hole in the foil in the top of the bottle and squirt it on em!

Just buy no bleed colors. Try spike-it/ lure works.

I don't make jigs. I just rely on whatever Bobby Garland and a few others make. I didn't know there were no bleed colors, I just thought they all bled.

Mitch, I keep em all in the original packs, most of the time, so they don't dry out too much. When I bass fished a lot I use to take the worms and lizards out of their packs and keep them in boxes and compartments by color. That's when I had so many "tackle box" creations. Sometimes the bleed over colors were better than the originals but that's what broke me from taking them out of the packs.

Anything that is transparent will bleed usually A lot of the plastics they come from China and other countries may bleed all my plastics are use or non-bleeding except for my transparent colors all of them bleed .
