Been a while BUT.....

Ive had some people on me for a while to make some more of these. (Might have even dodged a few phone calls over the past year :P ) It rained pretty much all day yesterday so it was a good time to get after 'em. It wasn't long and I realized why I had been putting off doing these suckers. I worked on these for 5 hours and didn't finish.

These have blue highlight that doesn't show up on a cloudy day. They also have blue glow powder in them.

These are green chartreuse made with dye instead of colorant. Dyes give you brighter colors that are crystal clear. Bad thing is clear baits like this will show all the bubbles you have in the plastic. I worked a long time getting the bubbles out before shooting the molds. Dyes do bleed so that might be a negative for some people.

Good to see you back at it. Great looking baits, as you always do.

I am working but it's with my computer and a nice comfortable 70° weather that we are having here it feels like fall time we are getting local Frost already.

looking good

I'm spose to do a 3 color with orange n chartreuse. Any opinions on what color I should use in the middle to split the two? I did a brown pumpkin today but don't think I'm goin to like it.

I did these quite a while ago using some left-overs and re-melts. Gives you an idea. The colors should be a little stronger than what I used here but the smoke makes a nice separating color. If the orange and chartreuse are stronger black would be a real nice color to keep them apart. These are hand-pours by the way. A plate would make the lines cleaner.

I like the smoke. I think the smoke might be better than a true black would be. You know how black will throw off the chartreuse with small amount of plastic there. I wonder what a heavy white would be like. Basically just trying to keep from getting the orange-treuse fade! Ill be pouring as well I don't use the plates.

About red or green in the middle.

The white would have to be a stout white mix I think. The orange and the chartreuse are both colors that like to pull into each other. Pink/orange, chartreuse/green chartreuse....they are problematic too. I just don't know if white is color resistant enough to split orange and chartreuse real well. Have you thought about a white pearl? Try it. I'd stay away from green or red to split the colors....but then I don't care for either green or red.

I'll probably try a white as well just to say I did. I'm going to make the orange opaque as well.

The ones I did with white in the middle turned out great. Wish I woulda done more of them now! Also did another color. Try to get some pics this afternoon.

I was dinking today and made these....pearl chartreuse belly pearl hot pink back with a firecracker shot thru the middle.
