SlowFISH Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hey all, Searched for awhile and saw alot about Spike It soft bait lure dyes/dips/paints..... curious if anyone has used them on darker baits? Most info I saw talked about adding color to white baits. Curious to know if you can easily color tips/ends of a black craw to red or something in a green pumpkin to chartruse.... etc. Logically seems like it's not very feasible just based on using lights to cover darks in painting but haven't used any of these products so figured I'd ask. I know I can mold the baits with different colors, but was hopeful after seeing Frank's swimbait molding/painting video that I could mold a one color (dark) bait then accent it (dipping tips or airbrushing it) with a second/third color if desried instead of dealing with cooking two plastics and injecting/pouring them. Thanks, J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmouthaholic Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Going from black to a light color will usually requires using a white base coat 1st. The lure paint will give you better results. Edited December 27, 2012 by smallmouthaholic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowFISH Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Thanks... So I'd assume I'd dip in the paint white... dry, then dip the color... may not be that big a deal for dipped things (worm tips, ends of craws, etc), for painting/airbrushing that would seem to eat a boat load of time that using two plastics may be a better option.

smallmouthaholic Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 You can thin their worm paint for airbrushing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
