I took some of the bodies I received from Snake River and doctored them with Spike It Garlic Dip-n-Glo which is a soft plastic and worm dye. I used a crochet needle and the end of a drill bit. My goal was to give the illusion of a perch. The dye takes 40 seconds to set and is permanent.:D:D:D:D No smears when you rub on it either!!!

Mike they look fantastic. I sure like that ideal. I have not got any of that paint yet my but it would only do the same thing is what you are doing and you can get that stuff there in quite a few different colors . I'm sure those little guys will catch fish. I haven't had a chance to even look at them in the water but we are dying to try them out when things warm up is I understand it, your guys fishing will be kicking off here in February yes I can tell that by the amount of interest of the jelly jigs down your way.
I went to Simmons Sporting Shop in Bessemer AL. It is a lot like Cabelas or BPS. The price is very inexpensive. Think I will go back next week and get some florescent orange to put some bottom fins on it. I figure if I keep these puppies moving in the water and add some slab sauce on it, the crappies will hit it and be on the way to Lake Crisco before you can say Jackie Robinson. I see you have got the siggy thing down pat now. Have fun!
Look at JJ's Magic, we use it alot & you can get a kit with many different colors. Way better!

Thanks. I will check it out this evening. Do you have any photos of what you did with it on your baits? Thanks again.Quote:

I have not tried that. Perhaps Snake River can answer that. I purchase my baits from him and just add my own tails to the Jilly Jelly bodies or add striping to the minnows. I do not pour or inject plastic baits.Quote:

I try. The paint and the magic marker theory did not work. The spike it is awesome and does not rub off.Quote:

mo yes you can shoot it with a needle. It is a little tricky but I've done a few .Quote:

Spike It may bleed when packaged with oils or scents. Don't know just a thought.
yes it does bleed.Quote:

okay guys here's hot information for you for the ones that want to paint up there plastic bodies. This stuff does not bleed. This is used by commercial plastics manufacturers it is called soft plastic paint and you will contact spike-it outdoors inc. [email protected] (912)842-2653 here is some other information that might interest you. I went and bought a 12 pack of sharpie in different colors. I bought the ultra fine marker it stays on the plastic baits let it drive for a little bit, but it looks beautiful in a deftly makes perfect little lines so I think they would be fun to mess with on your small plastic bodies in the makeup quite a variety of different colors. Getting back to spike- it I do not know where they sell that stuff to the public because I deal directly with the company. But it is very good paint the colors are very brilliant.
If the cost is minimal order me a black and a flo orange marker pen. Toss it in my next shipment along with the bill. Thanks
I do not have florescent orange next time you go to the store see if they have them. Do you have a Staples check with them or any office supply store will have lunch for 12 of those pans $9.99 I believe you could probably get them cheaper at Walmart but if I really kindhearted I will throw a pan in mind, it might not be the color you like. Will try to take a picture this afternoon, Mike and post it on here.Quote:

I cannot get the paint in the tiny quantity that I want. They will send me a catalog on Monday though. Stay tuned to see what happens. I have got to have something that does not bleed or rub off and is more permanent than four days.Quote:

I wish I knew who I got it from asked what happened you get too old you don't remember all the companies that you've dealt with did you talk to Bruce mcelroy they may be interested in advertising are maybe not. Did they tell you who is handling the product or plastic paint . I bet you he didn't tell you what colors they come in black/ blood red/blue/blaze orange/silver/watermelon/natural glow/chartreuse/hot pink/whiteQuote:
