I have some much like that. I also got some solid large tubes from the same people. I have not used them much at all though ever though I got them last summer. I procrastinate so bad.
It kind of looks like the tail comes from the middle; is that right? The ones I have are kind of cupped where the tail connects to one side. Do the tails get pulled off much?
I kind of like them and the colors look good. Can you make them with 2 colors? I think you are missing one color that is very good and it would be light blue.
Oh I forgot to say one of the hot colors in tubes has been white body and chart tail. Also as far as tubes I think one of the best is blue and white.
Overall I think you are doing a good job.

I can make two color bodies but it is time consuming. I really need a three piece mold for that. I have never had a problem with the tail coming off. I have made other colors, these were just some I had here at the house.
Looking good, you have some Killer colors there, i know they would work around here.
Just curious, did you cut your own mold, or did someone else do it, also what are you using for an injector. THANKS
I had someone else make the mold. It took a lot of programing and hours on the CNC. The injector was a whole different story. It took several weeks and several tries to get it right. It is a big aluminum syringe. I made the clamps for the mold myself. I was using 4 C clamps and now I use only two clamps. Makes it a little quicker. One thing I will say , it is an expensive hobby. But it sure does feel good to catch fish on something you made yourself.
Gr8t colors! I have an egg strand jig mold consisting of 3 1/32oz. size balls then an 1/2"long tail w/ another 1/32oz.round ball that wiggles at the end of it.Over all length of plastic egg strand 1.5" Real Freckle,and bream slammer:D

Nice looking grub bodies.

Magnum500,
Are you selling any ?
Get one in a bubblegum color with green and purple flake in it and if they're reasonable I'd buy. The color is cotton candy

I like them, simple and effective. do they have good action? If you want to tweak the action a little try extending the body on one side of the tail just a little ways to make the tail do something different. I have done this in the past with rubber worms I get by melting the top part or modifying the tail connection slightly to make it wiggle faster or swim different or whatever.
mine were designed for one thing, thats shooting docks. I made the belly fat to help it skip better. going to hit the water in the morning if the weather allows.
