looks good, especially for stained water
What size tube jighead would work best with that size.Would a 1/8 oz. fit inside it?
az, a 1/8 would fit it but i use 1/16
What is that on the jigs? Doesn't look like glitter? Did you splatter them with paint after taking them out of the mold?
that looks like a shrimp put some brown flake in it it would be spot on. We use that color under lights at night for speckle trout. Good work
Looks good, nothing wrong with that color.
I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fatman
musky, it looks like glitter to me but i could be wrong
I wonder if gold, silver and black glitter would look like baby crappie? You'd have to get the mixtures correct. Probably two parts black, one part gold, one part silver?
next time I pour some up i will try it Musky
man looks like a very nice jig snake.
I have a two inch tube mold, maybe I'll pour some this weekend. Been tying jigs and airbrush painting some plugs for a minnesota fishing trip coming up.
tell me more about your airbrushing have you tried stick it yet for airbrushing. We have to get a other airbrush and then I will be working with stick it in see how it will work. We used to do a lot of airbrushing on other fishing stuff mostly on salmon spinners we were doing rainbow.
I've just been airbrushing plastic lures and wood lures. I haven't tried on soft plastic. I've heard the soft plastic paint is more diffcult to work with. I live about a hours drive from Lurecraft, going to go over there and talk to them. They also make Poor Boys Lures and they will let you watch if you contact them in advance to find out when they are pouring and painting.
I REALLY like them. Might have to get some of those. Is there much limit to the color you can do?
no the sky's the limit on color we have 45 different colors right now the only one I don't have is silver and we are ordering that today. So if you have any particular color that you would like to see please let me know we will definitely post it on here I will be posting one on this post today that you might find very interesting. We will try to gather color information for you in the rest of the guys and post them on here but some of them you will not know by the name because you haven't seen the color there is a possibility that we may try to set up a color chart where you guys to go by in the future. And of course they keep coming up with new colors every day. So let me know what you want to see. Also any color combination that you would like to see.
bob.
this will give you the ideal of a color combinations that we can come up with like I told you the sky is the limit.

Those tubes look good Snake :)
Those look a lot like grasshoppers! I'd like to put a bare hook in those and fish them on top with a flyrod; besides something the fish haven't seen will always get their attention. Great tubes.
Snake, I believe the color will work fine. ;)I like to find jigs that has a little different look to em, the crappie does too :) Nice work.

This is not the best picture of them but a color something like this would work well. A transparent pink with a bright orange inner and yellow legs might be a killer for a lot of species here. Add some red, chartreuse and white glitter and it would be a winner for sure.
This is a better picture:
The Californian ghost shrimp
snake, your two color injector with a swirl pattern should work well for that.
Looks good enough to eat Fish,lol
No eating these little buggers. Nothing but guts and slime even when cooked. I even talked an oriental dude that tried it once, he never asked for more of them.
When doing these types of plastics, can you put a color inside on the rod and then intect another color over that and have it come out? I don't know much about it but I have to think that there is a rod inside for the hallow tube. Just learning here, don't know if you can pre make a core and then inject another color over it or something similar.
fish, I have an idea similar to that I plan on trying next week if I get time, too busy this week,
