Very smart move....there's nothing in nature that's absolutely straight or clean in transition, especially a fish's coloration.

I hear ya. When I first started with this I made plate after plate for darned near every mold I got but in the end went right to hand pouring the belly color or two where possible and injecting the top color. Sometimes baits worked better by hand pouring the back side of the mold and injecting the belly color. But what sold me was when I laid a hand pour next to a plate fed bait and saw how phony those stark lines made the bait look.

These that you show here are super nice looking, very natural appearing baits. Tip of the hat to ya on them.
