Tomato, Pro Blue
« on: 01/12/14 15:11 UTC »


Here are some 1.75" small fry baits shot in three colors.

The Pro Blue over a Pearl belly and smoke line is Do-Its Blue Pearl Smoke in the old formula, mixed in a four ounce batch, seven drops. These look darned near like a Great White shark in color. The bait on the top left had a short smoke injection. I had three in this batch due to a very cold mold but I trimmed and re-inserted them anyway since I did want the Pro Blue bait and wasn't too concerned about a full shot of the smoke. They all turned out just like the one shown and I like it.

The Red is Do-It's Tomato shot over the Pearl and smoke. This is a X2 color and 2 drops to 4 ounces of plastic got it to this point. I have a nice bit of orange hi lite and a some amount of .015 red glitter in there too.

The other one is a mix of colors from other project and I was just plating but they actually are very nice looking baits. If you look carefully at the one on the top right you can see a thin spot in the smoke where the belly color is reflecting light up thru the purple. Pretty cool in the hand.

Do you hand pour the bellies on these bad boys?

J....I do hand pour most all of the bellies. I have one non-Do-It  mold set that includes a belly plate. All others I simple pour using a spoon.
