Multi-color tube
« on: 03/30/11 15:26 UTC »
When you guys pour twocolors on the tube worm are you using a two color injector or are you injecting one color, let it cool, open the mold and talk half out, close mold and inject second color? Think I might have to buy a two color injector? ;D ;D

I've used foil before but never on the tube.  I'll have to give it a try and see what happens with the insert and tail. 

Another option would be pouring it open then injecting it.  You could actually get a triple lam this way with the tail being the same color as the injection.  This is just a theory as I have not tested it.

Another cool idea might be to dip the insert a dark color and then inject the bait.  Should give a core shot effect.

There's just not enough hours in a day...
