Winter craw stick attempt 1&2

[jmatheny9]

So I got the idea of how in the winter, crawfish start to get a little bit if a blue tint to their claws and a little on there body and shell gets sort of tan. What better to fish with in the winter?? I decided to just make some of the blue ( shade I think) and just pour with tan then alternate to the blue and so on. Well here is the first attempt.



Well these didn't really turn out how I planned so I figured I could try and just pour a couple drops before I shoot it. Still not what I want exactly though.



If you guys have any tips on how to make a good looking swirl, let me know. If not, let me know what you think!!

They look good to me, and they will catch fish! I've never made a swirl, but have been told its done with a twin injecdtor. First inject one side then the other ;altering until the mold is full. Like I said never done it, maybe someone who has will chime in.

I'm hoping for a way with just one injector but if not, guess I'll have to invest even more lol! In time...

I like the first pic. That blue just melts into the brown real nice.

hes right on the twinjector.ive done something close to a swirl in a craw. it would look really good in the bait you posted in this post with the colors you did it in

thanks guys, the first one I just think I have to turn the injector as the two plastics get poured in. Some turned out more like laminates

Here's what I posted a few weeks back



I used a twin injector. I turned it as I shot the plastic keeping the mold in place.

Those look good Lamar. I also had the idea of getting some of the blue pearl powder since the blue only needs to be a hi light

I had that same Idea - I did a laminate plate and this was my first crack at it -

Why don't you use blue highlight over the Brown or pumpkin seed.

[jmatheny9]

That's what I plan on doing snake, just haven't ordered the hi lite yet lol
