    Default Two tone picture tutorial


    I am going to try and attempt a two tone picture tutorial of how I do my two tone baits. It is an easy process as far as how to do it. The bad part about it is the time it takes to do it. I did not get a good pour on it because I was in a hurry, so some of them do not look great or full, but you get the idea of the process.

    I use very thin aluminum sheets that you can find at craft stores. I found mine at Hobby Lobby. You can probably substitute this with aluminum foil or some other thin metal or item. I found the aluminum sheets work good for me. They come two to three to a pack and I just cut them to fit my molds.

    Ileave enough room to not block the vent area and also to allow the tip of the injector to fit the hole so that the plastic has enough room to spllit down both sides of it. you can see that in the 3rd pic.

    With the two tone baits, when the colors are put together, the transparency of each color will slightly change the contrast of each color.

    I hope this is helpful for any who want to try this method.

    thanks stump and musky, and musky you would be very suprised at how much it might matter to the fish. I found out a long time ago that just the smallest of differences can mean huge things when color is at hand with crappie. Thanks for the compliments.

    awesome idea, I never would of thought about that, looks like Sea Horses like them too
    In our government-controlled schools we are taught that Lincoln was our greatest president because his war ended slavery and saved the Union. As usual, the other side of the story – the side that reflects poorly on the government – somehow gets lost. – Richard J. Maybury, The Abe Lincoln Hoax
