Nice ! I like that violet ? color
-
Those green one's look almost alive! Little UV in them?
-
Good job! Look like tins of Christmas candy.
-
2XL violet has light purple and cancdian blue flake. Muskygary no UV but that would make it pop. Lines fish candy.
-
Nice work Mike. I'm with X2 on those clear/glitter ones. I made up a mess of these in both sizes, three molds dull using clear with gunmetal and blue .015 glitters. That color really pops. I like the blue/purple mix you have here and may have to do a batch using it.
-
Tom the blue with silver flake really stuck the gills and one crappie and a small large mouth yesterday. Words can't say enough about the durability of these bait's and they were poured in MF SUPER SOFT.
-
Love these baits. All good colors. I've really been doing well on clearer baits with some kind of flake. Now go get on some fish!
-
Great looking baits!!!!!!!!
-
MJ I have clear with black and silver . Thanks Fatman
-
I whipped up a batch of clear with the purple and blue glitter combo but instead of any purple colorant I added some violet hi lite. Just enough to show but no take away from the clear. Cool looking baits but all I have here today is artificial lights. Man, we've had rain since about 11 this morning. Not long ago we had lightning and thunder with some heavy rain. Crazy weather for Christmas Day but it didn't mess with our travel.
Judging by the forecast I will have some time during the week to play more before the thermometer bellies out again. I have some ideas for other clearer baits and will post a picture when I get them done. I'm really liking this bait and the mold. Those who I have shown the baits to have left with some samples so some reports should be floating in soon.
-
Tom I need to get hi lite's. I only have pearl powders. It was in the 40's today and no rain hope it's nice tomorrow so I can give them another work out.
-
Grab the hi lite powder while you're at the shop.
-
It's on the list of many thing's to get when I'm there.

Mike....Here's a version of your clear with purple/blue flake I did only I added a shot of uv enhancer and some violet hi lite to those on the left side. That uv enhancer makes these things very visible in even murky water. The amber has enhancer in it too. Since the day is right around 34 degrees I grabbed a rod and walked down to the river behind us and flipped both of these in the drink on a 1/64 head and with the sun on them even in the dirty water from run-off they each showed a strong blue/violet "shine" down as deep as I could still see them. A surprise crappie ended up on the jig toting the clear one.

Man I am loving this mold. People around here are eating this bait up since I started to pass a few around. In another thread you mentioned this bait being a "must have" and I couldn't agree with you more. One box with a dozen 1 1/2" X 3" cells in it filled with both sizes of this bait and the ice ticklers in that dozen of colors and a guy could consider himself a deadly weapon.
I have been making a similar bait that measures 1 1/2" but the segments are smaller than those in the larger of these baits for open water and the sunfish and crappies pound them when jigged vertically tight against standing, sunken wood. I'm already starting to replace those with the larger new ones of this mold simply because the segments in the bodies of this new bait are easier one to cut off for a shortened a bait.
The bodies of the smaller baits is almost identical in diameter to the Ice Tickler's body and will fit well on any smaller ice jig. The smaller bait should come embossed with "sunfish" on it.

New to this forum.
Just order the wiggler mold and (hopefully) everything I need to start making them.
So many colors I can see I didn't order enough already and haven't even got started.
-
Welcome MT204 you will have a ball with this one it's a awesome mold.
-
Yep awesome mold. And a fish catching machine. The best part is that it makes so many at once. I just shot up 440 of them this evening for a couple friends and myself.
-
Tom them are great looking. There isn't words to discribe how awesome this mold is.
-
MJ roger on getting a lot in a little amount of time. But the durablity of them is unreal.
-
Your right they are really durable. Usually the yellow bass and bluegills I catch really tear plastics up. I'm getting a lot of fish on each bait.

Nice baits all!!
