    Default Making plastic baits, what's your favorite color?


    I'm making some soft plastic baits tonight to use out on the water this weekend. Just curious what is everybody's favorite color, or combination of colors? The mold I'm using is a 2.5" Fry, and lamination plate by DO-IT molds. Here are a few that I've poured so far...........
    Fish on!

    It's a really easy process. I use a basic 1000 watt microwave to heat my plastisol. If you go to the do-it website: Welcome to Do-it Molds - When pride is on the line you can check out all of their soft plastic molds. They seem to have top quality products.
    If you go to the "YouTube University" you can find a plethora of videos on injecting soft plastics.

    Do you fish the Motor Oil/Chartreuse in dingy/muddy water? I've had pretty good luck with the grubs in the top photograph on Pomme de terre as well as Truman, the water's been stained on both of them.

    I'm using them in KY & Tenn waters, which run from lightly stained to moderately stained unless heavy rains brings the levels up quickly. If I do have to fish dingy/dirty water, darker body colors do seem to work better, but they also do quite well in the lesser stained waters. I like dark/light (contrast) coloration on most of my plastics, but I just mentioned those two because they aren't always in the mix when colors/combos are being discussed ... at least not as often as blue/char - purple/char - black/char - etc.

    I don't think I even have any black/char plastics, so I use Junebug/char or dark blues & purples w/chartreuse tails.
