Soutx Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 How’s it going everybody... im new to this and I’ve tried dipping tails and I use scent in the bags The dip drips off I guess that’s the best way I can describe it. Well the dip I use was some worm dip and I’ve saw and tried kwigglers dip and just isn’t bright in either chartreuse or white on dark colors what do you guys use to dip your soft plastics tails permanently that is actually bright, not sticky, and looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keakar Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 just pour the tail color, cut off tails and leave in mold, then pour the main body color. dipping tails is the lazy way and not the best results to doing it the right way with actual lure color 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Spike-It makes a garlic dip that works pretty well also. It is pretty permanent, usually does not get sticky, etc., etc. But, keakar is right about the best results coming from molding the different tail color. The color you get from dipping depends on the color you are dipping over. Dipping a white gives good results while dipping a black gives lousy results. Molding always gives excellent color results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Just dip in white first then the real color you want. Your results will be very pleasing. Cutting tails off can be tricky if the second color is not hot enough to bond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1rGr1nG0 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I've also tried dipping but I just don't like the way it looks. So when I had my custom molds made I had separate molds made specifically for the tails. They look so much better and work great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
