Swirled Baits

[MarylandBassFishing]

Hey guys! Does anyone know of a way to make swirled baits so the colors don't mix and make a color that just doesn't look good?

I can't offer much on swirling the colors, but welcome to the Do-It madhouse of fun and festivities.

Thanks!

There is a thread on how to do swirls for hand pours by putting a divider in your cup using aluminum and JB Weld.

I think there was also a thread on pulsing your twin injector for injection molds.

If you are using a lam injecter you can lower the temp on one color and they will swirl  differ them by about 15 to 20 degrees

these where done with a twin injector and you pulse the plungers one at a time.

I'd recommend trying to use the largest mold (volume wise) you have if you're injecting. It's a lot easier to swirl baits with a twinjector if you have more room to move each injector separately. Single cavity molds are much harder to swirl (at least for me). Hope this makes sense.

billmo  I've been trying to do this  with smaller molds  so I may have to jump up  to a larger bait  but I sure do like what you  done here in the pitcher.

 I have done swirling  with paint  on jig heads  by putting the jig head in a drill  in spinning it slowly  and take the paint and barely  dripping a thin line then go ahead and crank it up.

Smaller baits are a lot harder to swirl because they don't use that much plastic.. it can be done, you just have to do much smaller pulses.

Thanks guys! I'll definitely have to try some of these

Just to clarify, I didn't mean its not doable in small baits or single cavity molds. I just meant it would be easier to learn with a larger mold first. Just keep working at it, you'll have it down before you know it!

Here's some I made last winter. I like one color warmer then the other. Then just practice.

LAMAR Your baits are awesome  hope that I could do that one of these days.

Thanks. You need to just take time a play with it. And then find what works for you
