Actually, it was not that much more work than a standard core... probably would be easier with a twinjector (but I don't have one).

Here's how it was done:

First, inject smoke body around tubing/pin -


Second, rip off the tail and remove tubing pin (toward front because tail plastic is very thin) -

Third, insert "standard" pin and inject blue strip -


Fourth, remove standard pin and rip off blue tail -


Fifth, inject chartreuse -




The only problem I had was just opposite of my Smokin' Shad (with too dark of a body)... my first Paddle Tail had cores that were too light and suffered from lack of vividness, but of course this was an easy fix with a little more X2.

*My apologies for the fuzziness in the pictures - not sure what is going on with the camera.

I tried something very similar this morning with the 3" Glider. I used a nail and shot my clear/gunmetal color in the mold. I snipped the tails and pulled the nails then slid a wire into the core cavity all the way back to the tail vent and shot a blue. I pulled the wires and shot black in but that black is where the fun ended. The wires were a no-go as far as letting plastic run thru even with a vent at the end of the run and the very ends of the tail snipped back so I has a definite hole.

Thanks, brother... I'm surprised you're not jumping in on this core method, because you are the kind of guy that should really be able to run with it... I know you got the skills (you've proven that).

I'll give it a try, just haven't been shooting many baits lately. The stuff you guys are cranking out using this method is very impressive.
