This color seems to be very popular. Does it work as well as the hype seems? If so what are you targeting?

Beauty. Hard to keep the chartreuse from turning green on that one, but you did it.

Also try it with a grey back. Any of the shad back colors work good with the chartruse stripe.

I hand poured the belly,then the middle,then shot the top. i dont like using the twinjector too much on 3 color swim shads but for 3 color frogs it works good
