  1. Handpour the orange so it pools into half the head. Then inject other color. Nice Lil bluegill imitation.
  2. I like this one. https://store.do-itmolds.com/Carrot--35-10-Cavities_p_171.html

    Shelts

    I also have always gotten the Malware lock out. They are a legit honest company and owner is very nice. The blanks are are not very good though
  4. I made a vid on this Only one time I was not able to free it. Always the clear lip Warts too, maybe because the plastic is softer. You can hit it fairly hard. I never damaged one.
  5. Never saw a minnow style bait that goes that deep.

    Blade bats

    I prefer these plastic Blades. I clear with Epoxy. 1/2 oz and 2" PM me about buying blanks.
  7. 110+1 go about 6-8' Best jerkbait there is and the Predator blanks are great.
  8. I may still have some Avid ones if interested
  9. I uses the micro spheres for tails and claws on baits and leave them white. Then I can dip them in JJ's colored scent for the color tail I want.
  10. One coat. Must be 75-808 temperature this time of year and/or thinned
  11. Looks like a blank Predator has. http://www.predatorbassbaits.com/id69.html
  12. Another vote for Predator and Dinger. Stay away from the "dollar" blanks.
  13. I am assuming this is the same color you showed. I dont see any other colors on the side besides white. There are very small holographic gold flake on the sides.
  14. Just so happens that today I got a group of misc jerkbaits with a tackle box I bought. One of them happens to be an LC Pointer 100sp in the color you show The sides have VERY slight tint of yellow/bone. Really not even noticeable. Chin and tail bottom have a faint redish pink splash on them. Let me know if you want me to take pics.
  15. I never really get bubbles in the Epoxy but these on the bottom showed up the other day. Not as obvious in person.
  16. Usually Table Rock has more Chart to the sides. Hughesy is on the right track but that may give more of a bone color. Hard to see how yellow sides actually are from pic. Maybe .... white base all Pearl white Very light dusting coat of transparent yellow or iridescent yellow over pearl white Back pearl plum Here is what I think of more traditional TR shad https://www.spro.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SMS110TRS Here is Livingston with chart on upper sides. https://www.livingstonlures.com/products/j121c-purple-hitch
  17. Prob not your prob but make sure the epoxy is 80-90* in this weather. Add 6 drops 100% pure acetone per 20g total epoxy (that's like enough to clear a 1.5 squarebill. By thinning it you will have to turn the bait by and every 10 min for an hour or so.
  18. He is not coating baits. He is glueing bills. I f mixing on a cup, once mixed, pour it onto a flat surface and spread it thin.
  19. Ya i just did a similar color (Zoom Plum Apple). Was much more red than a traditional plum I am used to like Al's showed. He wanted craws and Sticks. I nailed the craws, where the color is lighter and more translucent in the thin appendages and darker in the thick body. But the same color in the thick sticks was too dark and opaque so I had to add more raw plastic and lightened it up. Here is the Zoom color https://zoombait.com/colors/plum-apple/
  20. Make a standard red and ad a lil bit of grape or purple.
  21. For a 1.5 crank I add 12g resin and 11g hardener and 5 drops acetone. Perfect every time.
  22. I dont kinow of any probs from the fumes. Devcon 30 min is not bad at all. The faster five minute stinks tho UNLESS you are allergic to it. Then it can be dangerous. (pretty rare tho) It MUST be warmed before use. Also thin it with a few drops of 100% acetone. Use a cheap digital scale so ratio is right and mix WELL.
  23. Custom Crankbait Techniques on Facebook
  24. Alot of guys who used KBS are switching to the UV stuff.
