we were working on Arkansas bait and I wanted to make up a acid rain so here is my version didn't quite get the white and yellow should say the white distinct enough with the yellow next time I will go a little bit darker on the white. I used a dual injector for the top two colors.

Looks super.
Nice mix
The more I see that bait ... I called baitjunkie today! ..... Talked with the owner very interesting background! Good folks!
Heard they were going to start putting out lead molds but the web site says it's delayed due to weather.
Bob,
Baits are looking real good, figured I register maybe I can contribute a bit.
Liftbite, was great chatting with you today your welcome over anytime.
Fatman, we hoped to have them ready on xmas, we got delayed a bit with some serious electrical storms last week. Just wasn't worth the risk taking a power surge or loosing power mid flight. We should have the first few ready in a day or 2. We been woring on a air quality system in the shop as well, that has slowed us just a bit.
Agree bob, would like the belly brighter white. Yellow is a rough color for me to shoot. I went and bit the bullet for a used dual injector. Hope to have it soon and play with dual color baits. Keep them coming. The picture is deceiving as it looks to be belly poured. I can never get my Picts to show what they really look like

You can send the old-timers a p.m. and I have always answered any questions I have had. Snake river, see Tom and Dr. Nip been very helpful. Thanks to everyone and happy holidays. Good to see you on here Leonard.
Bob,
They look good to me. I agree that color is hard to photograph. I like to see that mold in 1 1/2 and 1 inch. I do better with the smaller baits in winter.
Welcome *********

May be leonard would downsize the Arkansas a little bit more.Quote:

What size body would we be talking, 3/16 or 1/8? The tail would loose some detail for sure.
Or you just talking shrink the length only, but not the girth?
Great colors bob
Nice work. I love that color and welcome to the site *********s you make some nice molds.
good morning 1/8 would be perfect for the body on the 1 inch I believe the 1 inch would be awesome for ice fishing and blue gills and would definitely be the sweetest looking a little bait. but I'll let the rest the guys charm in here to see what they think.Quote:

Just a waist of plastisol and stabilizer to many other color discoveries for me. Just my o2 but I will shoot a acid rain anyway! Hate defeat!!!💥

Sorry Leonard. You have a nice site, can't wait to see the lead molds.
