Jason, NICE JOB!!!!!!!!

Can you tell me is the blue non-bleed, is that really chartreuse or green chartreuse and is the bottom silver pearl or pearlescent?

Reason I ask is the regular blue will bleed into your bait and change everything blue after a couple days. Same with regular chartruese, it is a bleeding color.

Just curious on the pearl as I use both for bottom colors.

I think clarification will help those choosing the colors to buy.

Hi Jim,

Great point.  I used all standard colors we carry (all are NB).

The Blue is Blue NB (NB = non-bleed)
The White is White NB
The Chartreuse is Fluorescent Chartreuse NB
The Pearl is Pearl NB

The only colors we carry that are not NB are Amber, Baby Bass, Blue Crayfish, Crayfish, Grape, Mayfly and Motor Oil.

The man is steady as rock. lol

Practice, pratice, practice.....will get you in the same mode as Jason. I hand pour all of my color splits using a spoon. Works great once you get the spoon hot. But still...practice.

These were the old colors.  In the X2 Jelly Red is the only bleeder.

Thanks Tom.  I'm really not that steady - still a work in progress to get to where you, Jim, Keith and others are.  The Swim Shad are just easy to open pour the top and bottom.  You can use a pyrex, aluminum measuring cup, even an injector to fill the two sides before injecting.  To help it pour easier make sure your plastic is a little warmer than normal.  You may also want to use a hair dryer or shoot the mold a couple times to make sure it is a little warm as well.
