    Default smoke/firecracker


    I like the firecracker glitter colors in clear plastic when teamed up with a tail color and today I tried something a bit different.



    I made a medium smoke color plastic and added a small amount of blue hi lites and my usual blend of .015 glitters. I added some chartreuse and fluorescent pink tails using the 1 1/2" Do-It Thump-It Grub and came up with these little tools. All colors of plastic use the Do-It X2 colorant and the plastic itself is the Do-It Essential plastic that's been softened about 8%....makes a really sweet little paddletail. All colors also have the uv enhancement.

    I can't wait for an open water early morning to drop these in the drink on a jig.

    I love those lime tails. What is your recipe on that color? You can PM if you do not want to post it nationally on here.

    Mike....

    I'm using the X2 colorant from Do-It. I make my fluorescent colors a little off the table from normal. 11 drops of chartreuse plus one drop of X2 fluorescent lime green, a little uv enhancement powder and just a tiny wee bit of blue hi lite, all stirred into 4 ounces of plastic.
