Can anyone help with the color of the Ripper bait that is the model for the mold on Barlow's site. I am just getting in ti making my own, have the mold and would like to try that color, or something close. I suspect it to be a very light purple with blue and green glitter. I also hav e t h e jerkbait mold and think this color we old work for those also. Thank in advance for any help.

Kyle would have the exact answer to this but I think it a thin pearl with the green and blue .015 glitters and some uv enhancing powder and possibly a hint of blue hi lite. To be positive of the color just post a question for Kyle here. He'll see it tomorrow and tell you what the $64,000 question's answer is.
Oh.....I don't know if you've been welcomed yet but if you have or haven't, welcome to the Do-It forums.

Kyflyfisher - I don't have the exact recipe written down anywhere but CTOM was close I can tell you from memory it was Essential Series plastisol with blue and purple highlight and .015 Holo Green and .015 Canadian Blue flake. There was no actual colorant in that bait and there was more blue hi-lite than purple. If you take a closer look you can also see that it was done with a dual injector and the top is a little darker than the bottom. It was the same recipe but the top part had more hi-light to it and gave it a darker appearance.

Thanks for the info Kyle. I only have 1 injector at this time as I am just getting started, but I am going to keep this in mind to work a getting a double injector system.

If you want to experiment before you get a double injector search “Two color ripper swim bait”. I don’t know how to link the post using Tapatalk. That might get you close to colors you’re looking to pair up in a laminate.
