    Default Two Tone Stinger Type Paddle Tail Minnows


    It has been a while since I tried to do some two color stinger type paddle tail minnows. I started by making some stinger minnows without the extra paddle on the tail. They are on the left side of this picture. Then I made the same stinger minnow and added the extra little paddle tail. They are on the right side of this picture. The two tone effect was done by using a small spoon I hammered into a small funnel type device to spoon hot plastic into one side of the mold. Then the mold was closed and hot plastic of a different color was injected into it. Keep pressure on the injector for 45 seconds to insure a good weld. I welcome your comments and opinions.
