wchuck Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 How do you make swirls in soft baits??? I want to make Black with red swirls. I have seen green with black swirls. Also would like a recipe for blue sapphire. I am new to lure pouring and I sure would appreciate the help. THANK YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I do it with a split cup. I glued a partition in the middle of one of my pyrex cups. I warm up the cup on a hot plate then pour different colors into the sections. I hold the cup as high above the mold as possible and still hit the hole. I pour the smallest stream that I can which allows the plastic to swirl. The hardest part is making the cup. I used some aluminum flashing and glued it in with JB Weld. I've not had many colors that looked very good unless one of them was white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 If you have a twinjector or two injectors you can also pulse your injectors to get a swirl affect as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallie Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Keep in mind that the height of the partition influences whether you get a laminate or a swirl. If I remember correctly, the higher the partition, the more likely you get a laminate. If you are looking for swirls, the partition should be below the pour spout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
