Thanks for all the kind reply’s. Been going through some remelts that needed used up until I get another jug of plastisol. Between pouring some jigs, airbrushing/powder painting them and tying some buck tails I’ve been staying busy.
These look great. I wish the ripper came in this mold setup. Speaking of the ripper, how is this shiner going to fish compared to the ripper? It looks like the tail will have a more subtle movement compared to the ripper.
I imagine it will fish very similar to the Keitech easy shiner which has a much tighter, more subtle movement to the body and tail than the swing impact. I imagine the same will hold true for the slick shiner when compared to the swim ripper.
Outstanding work. That's beautiful. That bait has the sleek, smooth lines comparable to a luxury sedan .
The individual injection ports makes split colors with a twin injector fairly simple. What I have found though is injection pressure is something the needs to be kept in check to get the cleanest color split. Too hard or fast of an injection and I get color run-over from the belly color up over the top of the top color. It isn't super bad but it enough to muddle the over-all appearance. Go easy and slow with plastics in the 330 to 320 degree range
