This is for Bob Hinkle. Thank you for all your tips and emails. I think I finally got the melting temperatures correct for the technique you taught me last week. Timing was the main issue as to when to be ready to inject the second color. Anyway I followed your advice and this is what I came up with. Meet AQUAMAN...soon to be in a crappie's mouth.
What does everyone think? I can stand the heat so lay it on me man. RoflRofl

They look good. Will definitely be eaten!
If u don't want flashing try using less pressure on the injector. That or clamp the mold better. Either way the fish don't mind!
Good tip. Thanks.Quote:

Reminds me of the years and years ago that I used to make my Pa-Pa worms to fish with using my Creepy Crawler maker. He was always thrilled and made like they caught the BEST fish. (doubt he ever put one on a hook tho)
73?!?!!? Let's see.. you could either 1- adopt me and be my pa-pa since he's long gone (but loved the same) or 2- We can run off together and you could "rob the cradle" :D
Good to see you perkin!!
ship you did a fantastic job the color combination you are really coming along just fine keep up the good work.
Anchorpuller my friend. Thank you for all the wonderfully kind and humbling words. I am just a nobody trying to tell everybody about somebody that can save anybody. I an not a professional fisherman. Heck, I do not even own a boat. I make my own jigs that I use and fish them under my hand made float.Quote:

Send me a pm and I will give you my email adduced. I am honored to share what little knowledge and encouragement I can with you.
Snake River, my mentor and my friend. Your words inspire me. I will keep working at it and just having fun. I do not have to please everybody or post photos of all my fish. I.just teach what little I know and having fun is.my only wish.
they look nice
Mike what color is the top color on your plastic bait I know it is a green but I'm not so sure which one it looks like a immoral.
Actually it is an aqua blue color I made up.Quote:

Remember the old after shave called Aqua Velva? That is basically the body color with a chartreuse tail and red flake glitter in it.
Will be 73 degrees on Tuesday. LOL. I am still a young 66 years old.Quote:

Use a trick CF told me and put alil Veg oil on one side of the mold so it sticks to the other side, the first color shouldnt be no biggy but when you open the mold id be alittle more consistent on where the second color will begin. I just started using small scissors instead of putting my finger over it and pulling it off.. I just pull from the sprew side leaving half the jig & tail in the mold and snip. But when you shoot the 2nd color keep alittle pressure on but make sure you watch the center of the mold where the two halve come together making sure they dont separate any (thats where the clamp comes in)
Dont take me wrong Im still learning, and yours look great! Id fish em anyday, just thought you might be looking for some of that 'Constructive Criticism' LOL
That is what I need. I am still learning too. Thanks for the encouraging words. We will keep at it. Have a blessed day.Quote:
