Awesome job.

How are you guys getting that third color at the bottom of your baits like the orange on the bluegill. They sure look nice

Hand pour the orange. Then use twin injector for the other two colors. 

I'm pretty sure that's how he done that one.

Thanks tom1441! Justin is right about hand pouring the orange. With these, I used the laminate plate to inject the other two colors one at a time.

Somewhere a while back Ctom gave a "helpful hint" on using a spoon with a funnel like bend to add the throat / belly color on his small fry pours.
