thank you Keith yes it is true when you bring up the chart you can get it in different shades I was trying to copy the chart but cannot get the colors to come through so I had to look at it and go out and mess with it I believe that the Mulberry is right on the money far is the electric lime I was off I added too much green to the chartreuse keys by adding white to chartreuse you will get what you want such as electric lime all the colors on that chart are easily made remember use white to get what you want most of the covers have some version of light and dark to the color you just have to do a little bit of trial and error messing with plastics I know that you will be wasting the little bit of plastic but it is lots of fun in this is a good learning tool for us such as we wanted a certain combination for making a plastic bait to match up with the fish are the other fish are feeding on so I hope peace that we will keep messing with this in the future this is definitely a learning tool for everybody we are glad to share our information.

your chartreuse or electric lime is very close add some white to it Keith to get that shade your top color that you used is too much pink try using purple plum purple is what I used by adding white you did a fantastic job I definitely like what you did this is a good one very bright and unique because of the combination that you used you should keep this one in your books.

I went a little different route for my mulberry, I started with hot pink and added electric blue, a drop of white then a drop of red along with the flake.

This is a cool idea! Ive done this on other jig tying forums for tying up combos... Lots of fun. I will be a day or two late on this one.

Lots of bagging to do by Fri. By the way colors look great!

kinda looks like a tame electric chicken to me. but not bad at all guys, nice work.

**baitman** · 09-28-2011, 06:14 PM

maybe on the next one we can go after a certain fish, freshwater or salt. just an idea

You guys did good.! I have a tourny to fish saturday, so I am making my baits now. I wish I had time to do this. Maybe next time. I have got to build a dual injector. Baitman I love the way your baits look shot with the 2 color injector. Good job guys!

snake I use the white in a lot but still for some reason can not get colors to look the way i want. Baitman, I have more time now, I finally graduated school

perhaps the lime should have been a little bit more chartreuse but we kind of made a lime that you are familiar with so I screwed up maybe but we definitely could match it but anyway let me know what you guys think.

Holy Cow! That sure is dang pretty!!!! Love the color of the tail.
