Look on the second page of general discussion forum.  I asked this same question recently and sparky had the answer.

Also, if a feller had a real steady hand, divided cup and a hand pour mold, he could turn the cup back and forth to achieve a swirl.  Too many ifs for me.

That is how I do mine...

The divided cup works well for me too.

Well thanks.  I still feel like such an amateur, that's nice to hear  :)

gstott, those look awesome!  Great job!  Can you please explain what you mean by a divided cup?  Thank you!

Well thank you  :)  I took a Pyrex graduate and cut a piece of sheet metal to divide the cup and secured it with epoxy.  I then heated two separate colors and poured one into each half of the graduate.  I then poured the bait.  The higher you hold the graduate above the mold, the more the colors are going to be separated.  I've been doing so many injection baits lately I haven't done this in a while, but I'll have to make some more.  Thanks again, you make me want to keep working at it.

I figured you could do it that way, Jim.  Gstott, nice looking swirls, and that top stick really looks great.

Thanks again guys.  That top bait is just made out of scraps as is the matching frog.  That's one nice thing about swirls, it's a good way to use up scrap plastic.
