  1. That is the reason we should pass on the traditions of what we all do, especially to the young kids. With all thats bad in the world today for people to get into.......THOSE ARE GREAT FISH !!
  2. I'm Like you Pure Action Baits, fairly new to the soft plastics but I have always been given great advice and help from the Members . I have a single injector , so what I do is, take the colors I want to use, heat them in separate pyrex cups. Then I ,for the lack of better words, suck them up in my injector, alternating the colors. It takes a little practice as far as getting the amount of colors in your bait right , but you can do it. I made some awesome PB & J craws. I actually shocked myself. Hope this helps you in some way.
  3. Fishingskirts.com has one called Clear Blue Blue Crystal.
  4. Yes Sir, I always wear my gloves. Thanks for your advice.
  5. Thanks for your help fellas, I tried a little something today that I want to pass on. I am shooting the Angling A.I bait that resembles the Biffle bug. It is a 2 cavity mold. I only have a large injector, so what I did was, I mixed up my peanutbutter color in one pyrex then I mixed up my jelly color in another pyrex cup. When I got them good and hot, I sucked out one color at a time , alternating the colors, and only taking small amounts. Then , I have my injector marked where I always place my bottom hand so when I feel the heat of the hot plastic, I know I have enough to shoot. The end result was pretty awesome for a ROOKie, There are 2 draw backs to this process. 1the baits are not consistent with every pour as far as color, and 2, the plastic that has to be trimmed of off the sprue is now a mixed color. Other than that , Im really excited about the outcome. I want to thank you all once again for your help and advice.
  6. Thank you gone2long for the help
  7. wishn4fishn, thats exactly what I would like to do.
  8. I have just started injecting soft plastics and want to thank you all for the Information , advice , and fellowship that you provide. My question is....I am trying to inject the color PB&j, I want the creature that Im injecting to come out looking like the colors are mixed up. How do I obtain this method. I am using a single injector and didnt know if this was possible. I want to thank you all in advance for any help.
  9. ipt, It does look like the top has Black and the bottom is GP with flake. Thank you for your help.
  10. Alsworms,it does look like 2 colors, but me being so new to this I really didnt know . Thank you for your help.
  11. Now that I have purchased a few molds and started injecting a few baits, I'm trying to figure out how to come up with the color Sooner Run. Can anyone lead me in the right direction. this color works well here in my local lakes and rivers and I would like to be able to make this color, now that I have started . Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated . Thanks guys
