    Default heavy, heavy color


    I found a stash of orange glitter that came from Caney Creek years ago and had gotten shuffled to the back of today's pile of goodies so I thought I'd better try the stuff.



    Once I got the belly plastic in place in the mold I was at a loss for a line color that was bold enough to stand out against this heavy glitter color. I opted for tomato followed by a couple dots on each belly of chartreuse. The tomato is a super strong color and in these baits pretty much takes over the chartreuse of which there are two dots of the colorant on each belly and just one at the front of the tomato and the tomato was put on in very small drops. Its just unreal how strong the glitter and tomato are n these baits.

    In the hand out in todays early sunlight they are amazing in color.

    Those are sweet looking lures. Did you swab parts of the tail with chartreuse spike it? Whatever you did, the effect is terrific.

    The color in the tails gets pulled down into the tail when the injection of the top color is made.
