Hackle Injection

Got this idea from my good buddy ToadFrog! All ya need is some hackle (or any other flat material) and preferably transparent plastic... Clear with violet hi-lite is what I used in these. If you flare the feathers before you inject it makes a cool fin effect! You can play all day long coming up with cool ideas. With all the different color feathers and flashabous the sky is the limit. Pics arent the greatest but it was getting late.Doh

Those are some sweet looking grubs. I am partial to the Char/black combination colors. Nice job. Of course since I am a baby when it comes to plastics, I have no earthly idea of what you said how you did this. I am sure others like Bob, Keith and Crappieseeker will understand your techniquue. Nice job.

That is cool looking and very different. That is thinking out of the box a bit. Just another option of what You can do with these plastics. cool stuff.CF

I forgot to mention the part where you put the feather. You just open the mold and lay the feather in the cavity. Close the mold back tight and inject!

Those are really cool! I'm gonna have to go to my buddy's (who has all the stuff) this weekend to try that. I'm very interested to see what they look like in the water...they look killer out of the water for sure!

Great idea and baits! Im thinking of placing strips of flashabou with clear plastic. Will make a easy core shot bait ; I think.

Can anyone do this with tube baits. Maybe a chartreuse and white?

It would be best with a solid body tube mold.

Thanks for the inspiration RonDon! Thumbs Up I did get a few with maribou to come out decent, although nothing near the quality of yours. I'm a pretty new hand at plastics and didn't have much time to work with yesterday, so maybe next time... ;) Now I just need to find a chance to try 'em out!

Here's a pic of a few of my better ones:

Very cool! The maribou should perform well in the water especially with a stop n go retrieve! The bou will flair out on the stop maybe enticing a strike!
