Title: Dual injection application
Post by: Steve J on 06/05/17 19:45 UTC
Just guessing here that molds such as the Watsut that has a thin top and fuller bottom would not lend itself to dual injection.
Rather plan B which would entail lami or hand pour.
What do you think?

Oh they duel inject just fine.  Just that the bait will actually be half and half. The 3.5" swimshad is the same and I like it better duel injected than using lam plate. Instead of a straight line the split follows the curve of the belly.

Thanks Mike.
That will be something to see!

No problem.  I think this pic shows how the duel injection line is below the mold split line ok.

Split color baits look way more natural when a well defined line separating the two colors is not present. At one time I thought lam plates were the thing, now I don't ever use any.

Thanks and the good news is it's super easy to do baits like this with the duel injector.  And like Tom says the less defined line looks way more natural.
