This is the closest mold to a slider that I ve found and I actually like it better, made me a homemade laminate plate and been playing around with a few color combos that you can’t find just anywhere
Whatchayall think?Attachment 384319Attachment 384320
Looks great. Bet the first one would be awesome with the colors reversed too!
That looks good
Those look great.
I like that. Who makes this mold? How long is the grub.

Here is a comparison between a slider and my bait, the slider is the shorter one
2”. It’s a Fatguys mold
for Memorial Day they had a big sale and I ordered a different mold but they sent me this one, needless to say I didn’t complain
Not sure if it’s just the plastic or what but the tail will kick at slower speeds than a slider
It being a three color bait exactly what do you mean by reversed, what colors would you put and where?Quote:

What colors did you use did you use powder I know what I see in the picture what I’m asking is who made the colors Good job on making a Laminate plate what material did you use a piece of sheet metal or aluminum foil.laminate plate what material did you use a piece of sheet metal or aluminum foilQuote:

my laminate plates is thick tin foil, i enjoy making two and three color baits, but i wish it wasn't quiet such a slow process, i sell some on the side but really for the length of time it takes to make such a bait your not making anything,, i like the distinct color change better on the laminate plate baits better than a two color injector, atleast in my eyes but im purdy picky
fyi did some field testing today and they got a big thumbs up!
Thank you for the feedback I appreciate it if you didn’t know of Soap powder the same stuff they use to make soap color That’s what I’ve been using in my plastics lately you can get online and look at American soap company and you will see a lot of bright colors very little just need it to color the plasticQuote:

I like the extra length, that is a great looking new bait.
